Who Gets The Front Row Center Tickets? Friends, Charities?

At the last Philly show they where upgrading random people to the front row middle.
How cool is that? I love it! Hope they continue that method! I've got 3rd row center so I'm fine where I am and lol, while I'm waiting for the show to start I'll watch the fun of seeing who the lucky ones are. I bet they're going to be beyond thrilled!

I had front row center in stockholm 2011, it was the regular pre-sale. it was the very very best seat of the whole venue.
Must've felt like you won the lottery!!! How did you like being up there for "Live and Let Die"? Were the fireworks right on top of you? Were you blinded by the light? I think I would've brought my sunglasses for that song, lol!

been front row 4 times.. you can see better from the 3rd & 4th rows tho....

harleyblues:
fans with money!!!!
...
I don't think so. The Front Row VIP package is for front row SIDE, not center stage. And we've already had one fan who got front row center on a fan pre-sale so don't be envious, lol, okay maybe just a little envious is okay.

Yay!!! That's what I thought when I got my 3rd row center ticket. I gotta ask though how did you do it? Were they side seats? Were they front center? VIP? Amazing!

Two thousand dollars seems very expensive for a front row side seat. I would rather be on third or fourth row center and get a better view for a lower price. Anyway, since there are no chairs on the field over here, we have to run towards the stage and hope to get a good spot standing at the grid/rail. That usually happens to those who wait a long time in line or buy a Hot Sound package.

Yeah, I bought the Hot Sound VIP for just that reason. It cost a lot but this is my first ever Paul McCartney concert. I've bought all his albums over the years, then eight tracks, then cassettes, then CDs, now I'm buying them all again on iTunes, lol.
: So the secret to getting the up front area of an arena show is to be in good shape, wear running shoes and then it's, "On your mark,.....get set,.....GO! They should make a video of that moment. Once you've claimed your front spot are you able to leave and then return, say if you want a coke or snack? I guess you can't, so do you load your pockets with power bars and carry a bottle of water? Your photo shows that you're in good shape, I bet you're up at the front pretty consistent.......

as in cool hot? Lol, Even in the 3rd row think I'll bring my shades and earplugs just in case, just for that song, which I have always loved btw.
Can't wait for the concert, this is so exciting!

I've always wondered where the ticket locations are for the tickets the radio stations give away.

Good question, I've wondered about that too. Maybe some of the lucky winners will chime in on that here.

The flame pots are very, very HOT (as in temperature), and bright, and the explosions are very loud, and if there are sparklers, be careful not to look up, as you can easily get a cinder in the eye. I've seen Paul's head of security go through the pit just before the song starts to move all the venue security people out of there. I always just duck if I'm that close. And as to people in the front row middle, at the US shows, there are definitely some exceptions but it seems it's usually young and attractive people who get picked (however that happens) to be in those seats. Some of the young guys and girls front row center in Vancouver looked like models but they were all dancing and having a great time, and Paul gave them a lot of attention during the show.

Yes and Brian and Rusty run directly INTO that firestorm as they criss cross the stage during that song AND they play guitar at the same time. Max respect to them!

I was EXTREMELY LUCKY for Boston, I got Front Row CENTER-which NEVER happens. Front Row pkgs are always the side sections. Front Row Center is for friends, local VIP, and some lucky fans that are brought down from the nosebleed seats.

Wow! This show may even top Led Zeppelin's and The Who's concerts back in the seventies! (yes, I'm in my fifties). Lol, Take note 1st row people, DUCK and COVER!
I'll know if they're models or Paul fans just by if they are surprised when the pyro explosions start up, lol! We'll find out.......I'll let you know after the show.

I won tix from an Iowa radio station to go to Cleveland in 2002 . . .nosebleed seats
But they paid for rounddtrip airfare, hotel, Rock/Roll Hall of Fame for 2 plus $100 spending cash . . .I would have sacrificed all that other stuff (OK maybe not the airfare) for front row. I hadn't seen Paul in 12 years!

Last time Paul played Phoenix, while waiting to go in, I was talking to a couple who had front row center. Hadn't paid a dime. I asked him how and he knew one of the local sponsors who had no interest in the tickets so he gave a pair to this couple. I asked if he wanted to trade, but he said no.
