Four-month-old Noah and his parents will be taking in the band's sell-out show next week from the comfort of a corporate box at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
It was a big change from earlier yesterday, when Noah's mother, Katie Cleaver, feared she and her son would have to miss out.
Mrs Cleaver and husband Nigel, of Invercargill, had already paid $400 for two tickets to see one of her favourite bands.
But she contacted the Otago Daily Times yesterday morning, after being told she would have to pay an extra $200 for a third ticket if she wanted Noah to sit on her lap during the concert.
She had assumed her baby could come in free, but was told by Ticketmaster everyone attending the show - even babies who did not need a seat - still needed a ticket.
''I was like 'Wow'. He's 4 months old. He can't even sit.
''It's just absurd that a 4-month-old baby should have to pay $200 for a ticket to a concert they don't benefit from,'' she said.
Mrs Cleaver said Noah would not bother anyone, and would not watch the show, but she wanted to be able to breast-feed him.
It was increasingly common for parents to take babies and young children to concerts and major sporting events, using earmuffs to protect their hearing, she said.
Air New Zealand and other carriers also allowed children under 2 to fly free, while sitting on their parents' laps, she said.
She had done both with older son Finn (5) in the past, including attending a Taylor Swift concert at Auckland's Vector Arena, and the approach in Dunedin seemed ''archaic''.
''A baby really is an extension of the mother at this age ... It's just really important in our society that we don't impede on those rights of a baby and a mother to breast-feed.''
Dunedin Venues Management Ltd chief executive Terry Davies declined to comment when contacted, while DVML marketing and communications manager Kim Barnes would only say the policy was set by the band's promoter, Live Nation.
''It's their show. We abide by their conditions,'' she said.
Live Nation relented yesterday and instead offered both parents, and Noah, a spot in a corporate box.
The company's ''blanket policy'' was everyone should have a ticket, and parents were ''generally'' discouraged from bringing infants to noisy concerts, Live Nation vice-president of promotions Luke Hede said.
But if the couple still wanted to attend, and had appropriate hearing protection for their baby, they would be welcome, he said.
''We would actually be happy to welcome them into a heated corporate area behind glass if they think they'd be more comfortable there.''
Mrs Cleaver said the company's response was ''so awesome''.
''I'm really stoked. Fleetwood Mac is one of my all-time favourite bands and I really didn't want to miss out.''
