    No refunds for no-show ticket holders

    Couldn’t make it to the Fleetwood Mac concert? Don’t expect a refund.

    Fleetwood Mac played a long-awaited concert at the KFC Yum! Center on Tuesday night, and though thousands were able to attend, some ticket holders were stuck at home because of Monday’s snowstorm.

    Refunds won’t be issued, and ticket holders who were unable to attend are also annoyed with the Yum Center because they reached a message-only answering system, instead of a human, when they tried to call the box office, WAVE-TV reports.

    “You could not get the Yum Center to even answer the phone,” Phil Stokeley said. Stokeley, who lives outside Lexington, said he had two front-row tickets valued at $1,000 but he couldn’t make it out of his driveway.

    Judy Stone, who lives in Washington County, said she had three tickets that cost $75.50 each but she also didn’t have a way to get to the venue, the story said.
    A Yum Center spokeswoman said she couldn’t answer WAVE-TV’s questions, only saying that refunds won’t be issued.

    Stokeley said he finally reached a human on the phone Tuesday, and he was told that his complaint will be taken to a supervisor, the story said.

    Despite Monday’s severe snowstorm in the area, which prevented some ticket holders from reaching the venue, the show went on Tuesday night as Fleetwood Mac performed at the KFC YUM! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Unfortunately for those who couldn’t make it, the venue is not planning to issue refunds.

    During “Landslide,” Stevie mentioned that Kentucky was one of her father’s favorite cities because of the Kentucky Derby, which they had attended at least three times.

  • REVIEW: Fleetwood Mac sparkles at KFC Yum! Center

    REVIEW: Fleetwood Mac sparkles at KFC Yum! Center

    Fleetwood Mac last made new music together in 2003, but the band’s heyday ended nearly 30 years ago with “Tango In the Night,” its final multi-platinum album. That technically makes Fleetwood Mac a legacy act, largely living on reputation.

    [slideshow_deploy id=’43388′]

    You wouldn’t have thought so Tuesday night at the KFC Yum! Center, where the band performed with a passion that belied a setlist dating back to 1975. They brought new life to songs that are familiar — overly familiar in some cases — and obliterated any notions that they’re simply cashing in on nostalgia.

    Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie clearly have nothing against nostalgia as the show was top loaded with the band’s finest material. It began with a run of “The Chain,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Dreams,” “Second Hand News” and “Rhiannon” — all major hits that remain staples of rock radio.

    That’s more classics in less than 20 minutes than many bands can muster in two hours, but Fleetwood Mac didn’t coast. They delivered them all with a powerful conviction that made the music seem almost shockingly vital and alive.

    It didn’t hurt that Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie all sang as if time hasn’t taken much of a toll. McVie, who came out of retirement for this tour, retains much of the honeyed warmth that gives her songs such tenderness. Nicks was in surprisingly supple form, her reedy vibrato in full effect, and Buckingham didn’t hold anything back.

    It’s hard to overstate how much the return of McVie informed the concert. Fleetwood Mac has had a history of rotating members since forming in 1967, but this is the definitive lineup. It just makes sense in every way.

    The dynamic of McVie’s delicacy contrasted by Nicks’ multicolored daydreaming and Buckingham’s almost callous directness is what transformed Fleetwood Mac from a mildly successful band of journeymen into one of history’s biggest acts. That combination still makes magic.

    Here’s the full setlist:

    “The Chain”

    “You Make Loving Fun”

    “Dreams”

    “Second Hand News”

    “Rhiannon”

    “Everywhere”
