Stubhub has over 500 tickets on sale for Toronto already. Interesting since tickets aren't on sale yet!

No doubt scalpers that will use the Paul McCartney presale to take the majority of the good seats away from the fans. I don't understand how Stub Hub allows people to list tickets that aren't even on sale yet.

I don't understand how Paul's people can allocate that many tickets to them.

Just went to the ticketmaster website which had a seat plan for the Toronto arena. Any one know what the blue colored area is between the stage and first sections of floor seats? See link: http://www.ticketmaster.com/paul-mccartney-out-there-toronto-ontario-10-17-2015/event/10004F0ED5C2C09A?artistid=735610&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1 Thanks!

Not sure...don't recall the "rising stage" being the same width as the main stage for previous shows.

Yeah, what is that? If it was in LA it would be special rows for celebrities & or their kids. Hopefully its not but this needs to be clarified, it could make a big difference. I wonder about this ticket web site SLOTix too. Its offering front row side section only. So between the two it looks suspiciously like someone is holding onto front row center, but who? Guess we'll find out next week. :

In the ACC, the first four rows of the floor are in solid rows (which is that blue block) and then in row 5, there are aisle dividers every 15 or so seats. I sat in the 2nd row in that blue block for Petty and it was the best spot I've EVER had at a show! Having said that, Macca's stage setup definitely makes EVERY seat on the floor a good one. In regards to StubHub having tickets before they're even on sale, 99% of those tickets listed, the scalpers don't have yet. They merely put them up for an insane price, hoping someone will buy and they "win the lottery". If someone were to buy a front row seat for $5000 right now, the scalper is banking on the fact that they'll be able to find a front row for far less than that and make a tidy profit. StubHub 101!

Most likely those tickets are being sold by season ticket holders (i.e. for the ACC the Platinum seats) for the Leafs/Raptors they usually get to purchase their seats for concerts before the concert tickets are made available to the general public.

Well this is a great surprise. I thought the Out There tour was over. I guess not. Hoping for a hometown show all summer and finally getting one in the fall is fantastic. Now the stress of getting tickets begins. I'm seeing Ringo a few days later so this will make for a great week. It's been a long five years. Good luck to everyone on getting tickets.

I am planning on going to see Paul here, just to see "Mull of Kintyre". It's one of my favorite songs, so this would be kind of a bucket list thing. I'm a little confused about the pre-sale. It says you have to be registered on the site by 8am Eastern time on Monday. What time will the pre-sale start? And if I'm getting the emails that the site sends out, that means I'm already registered with that address, correct? Every couple of years I have to figure this stuff out.
You're good to go on Monday morning. You are already registered. Let's hope there aren't a lot of others who register solely for the purpose of buying these pre-sale tickets. Let's also hope that the ticket prices as currently listed are a range and not the only two options! $55 or $320 doesn't really make sense...Yikes!
Yes, I did get the email, so I'm set. Thanks! Now I'm hoping I can get a ticket tomorrow morning! I'm going in to work early so I can make sure I'm there in time to be ready for the sale. And I keep trying to calm myself down by remembering that there's still the Amex pre-sale and the regular sale if I don't. 2 years ago I got a ticket through the website, so hopefully I'll be as lucky this time.

SLOTix is the official, authorized seller of Paul's VIP ticket packages which includes most of the front row. Nothing suspicious about them at all. Paul holds onto to front row center. Those seats are never sold via Ticketmaster. They keep them for the fan upgrades.

Very tempted for this one but I wish I knew where else he was heading before tickets go on sale monday!
Exactly. I'm way over in Regina. I'd consider going that far to see him but I'd feel pretty silly buying tickets only to find out a week later he's going to Winnipeg too. And to those wondering... Yes, he definitely played mull in Edmonton, I was there.

I know this upsetting for fans, no matter how much money you spend...paul has the middle block front row reserved. For upgrades,... ops:

To all those going to the show in Toronto, good luck with tomorrows pre-sale!!

Is there a code for the Monday morning pre-sale? Thanks! Edit: Backtracked and saw that no code is required. Hope you're right! SO, IF WE ARE REGISTERED, DO WE BUY THE TICKETS THROUGH PAUL'S SITE? I've been registered here for 10 years but have not frequented the site for a while. Any help - THANKS!
-
Thinking about doing VIP. Anyone done this? Better through tickemater in Canadian $ or Pauls site (Us $?) Was vip good? Thx

Hi, Nice to see you posting! How to gain access to the pre-sale: Approximately one hour prior to the pre-sale, administrator PaulMcCartney.com will create a Sticky pre-sale thread at the top of the Rock Show forum here at the message board. About 10 minutes or so prior to the start of the pre-sale a direct link to the pre-sale will be placed within that thread. In addition, you may also find a link to the pre-sale at the main site here: http://www.paulmccartney.com/live Once the pre-sale link is live, you will enter the e-mail address which you have registered at the main site to gain access to the pre-sale. Best of luck obtaining tickets! Anita

I think Carsoni4 is correct on both counts with regard to the solid blue in front of the stage and the seats that are already posted for sale.
