Does Paul care about his fans getting tix to concerts?
-
I've never heard of Crowd Surge before today. More dates added!

After today's experience, I do not care for Crowd Surge at all.
You are not alone on that!!!
-
More US tickets will be available now that a lot of Paul-bashers won't go to his gigs anymore!!!
-
Anyone who has decided to not go to any of Paul's concerts for the dumbest reasons, i.e., getting their knickers into a twist over his remarks at the White House, is just cutting off their noses to spite their faces. On the plus side, these people are doing Paul's true fans a huge favour by giving them better chances at tix!

The other Paul:
Keep checking Ticketmaster as the show date gets closer for a ticket drop, when better seats can become available. I've gotten pretty lucky doing this for other shows.
That happened to me one time. I bought some tickets at the last minute. And, I got to sit 5 rows from the stage! The tickets were less than $100, because they were limited view seating. They were on the side, so we couldn't see the giant T.V. screen. But, we didn't need to see the screen, we could see the actual musicians! There they were right there in front of us! It was cool! One of the best concerts, I have been to, in my life!

Just wish the cost of tix weren't so expensive. Once you have to purchase tix for more than one person the cost is even more ghastly.

I could never get through to the crowd surge site when attempting to buy tickets to the Nashville gig. Ended up getting mine via Ticketmaster.

I'm sorry as well.. I've been disappointed many times before. For 4 whole years since 2005, Paul has been doing shows and only this year had I gotten the chance to see him. Most likely, musicians do not have the authority over their tickets as they have other people who are in charge of that. So, It is not Paul's fault. It's just the ticketing business. And making money for them is making fans like you and me spend up to a thousand on nearly decent seats. I was thinking to myself that only "true" fans should get up front seats by answering some trivia questions and get their seats depending on much they scored on trivia. (Like that's gonna happen). Some tips are: be on the look out for future concerts and make sure you purchase your tickets at pre-sales, use the phone and internet to make your purchase on the time of the sale, or purchase some from real fans who will sell them at face value.
I Agree It's Not Paul's Fault But TicketMaster and Other Places that ticket's Are Sold. Paul Loves his Fans And Cares About them Deeply And That's The Type Of Guy Paul Is And He Gives Tour Dates And Everything So Try To Get Them Ahead Of Time In The Pre-Sales So Hope It Helps With getting Tix's At Least A Little because There Only As In TM And Stuff like that Are Only Trying to Rip You Off By Saying That It's A Good Deal When it's Not And Plus there Only Trying To Stay In Buissness And Plus The Beatles Are The One's Who Started Music Awesomeness And Also Paul Is So Popular that They Think They As In TM Again Should Raise The price So Hope That Helps A Little Again!!!

Just wish Paul would do the one off free concerts here & there like he used to when the Fun Club existed.....

I don't know the history of your attempts, but as a huge PM fan and many many many miles of planes, trains & automobiles (OK, well maybe not trains...) I can honestly say that Paul has been EXTREMELY conscious of his fans and their ability to score seats from his site. If you keep up with the dates, are ready with your credit card info and the time they go on sale, ready to accept less than front row, and you know the procedure, you should be able to score decent seats when they go on sale on Ticketmaster, and esp. with Paul's recent presales. Experience has proven to all that Ticketmaster and concert seats in general are less than fair and mostly timing, luck and one's ability to pay top dollar are huge factors, but I can honestly say that Paul seems to try to make us happy by offering presale codes and going to various places. There's no way to make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time.

Well, according to the latest news, there will be 6 more chances to score tix to Paul concerts this year!
-
Sorry, at this point it isn't news. It's a rumor.

let me say this about that, if I may: I call them" TICKET MASTER OF DISASTER" always making a buck, at the expense of the Fans! we tried to get Legislation here, to get TM OUTA TOWN! and these , Legislators, made it legal! in the Missouri House! wish I could OPT out on the extra fees! and the scalping should be illegal! why not TM pay out the Sponsors, and leave the fans alone on the Surcharge! , NO TAX!! if I had an American Express Card, I might have been able to get A Ticket thru here. but don't carry one. I have to be a good steward of my money. I am old fashioned I guess. cash check is what I use. I don't accrue debt!!! once in Saint Louis, I really got into a Bad deal with the ticket their. and nearly broke me! got badly Scalped! now I try to manage my finances now very well. but not the treats I would like to have. such as sitting on the front row! but I think those are preserved for VIP's who pay top $$$ for their tickets. I was truly blessed, to been able to see Paul this time. cause someone sent me a ticket. out of the Blue!???? if it had not been for you, I would not have been able to see the Most AWESOME CONCERT IN MY LIFE! I was truly HUMBLED! THANKFUL and BLESSED, by this whole experience. things mean so much these days. and Paul was my Knight in Shining Armor again! my did his heart Shine! right into mine

According to Jorie Gracen, it's supposedly in the works. Can't vouch for her accuracy.

I don't trust Jorie, Marinucci or MaccaCentral until it's officially announced. All three sites steal from other sites and all thrive on "exclusives".

Amen. Weren't the rumors that he was gonna play Italy in Sept? And Chicago? And NYC? I'm pretty sure nothing is going to happen in Sept. He won't announce them with this short notice.

Yes, they were and they aren't going to happen in September.

He obviously cares about fans getting tickets. I know the fan presale, anyone can get tickets because they post the password beside the link ( ) but I will swear that when the Dublin tickets went on sale, they saved the best tickets for the presale! Am I crazy??!!
