AXS says "coming soon" for VIP: http://www.axs.com/events/335441/paul-mccartney-tickets?skin=gwinnett

No luck. Guess I'll have to hope for the best in the general sale. Congrats to anyone who got good seats today!

I got seats - couldn't pull off 165 apiece for 4 tickets for the family. But this is my 6th time seeing him and we will be in the building!

OMG OMG! They just starting allowing VIP sales on that site and I got Sec. FL2, Row D!!! Yeay! What a stressful morning this has been!
-
had to spring for VIP Gold to get decent seats in Syracuse, but ended up with row L in sec 6... happy with that, esp since its about 11 minutes driving from my house....
-
Congrats, Nancy R! I know the morning you've had. Now you can relax and watch me sweat all over again in the venue pre-sale on Friday! LOL

Why isnt Paul coming to Boston this year? Whats going on??
-
Wanted 4 seats together for Miami, but ended up getting two separate pairs. Whatever. And I ended up having to go through Amex because the fan club sale was pretty worthless. The fan sale is OK if you're willing to shell out for the VIP packages but for those of us who could only afford $250 a ticket the seats offered were pretty sad. I knew it would suck as soon as I realized the fan sale was going to be on Ticketmaster this time rather than through Songkick/crowdsurge.

Syracuse pre-sale I got a decent central floor ticket section 4 ,2nd block back for $160. Got offered a closer one but not close enough for $250+ so I threw it back. There were many many tickets available in the 300 sections low rows several hours into the pre-sale. Plan to travel from Ottawa for the show, happy with what I have.

That should be a good show for getting tix to. I'd imagine the other three gigs in and around the city will soak up the crowd.

I've been out this afternoon and thought I'd try again just now since I'm home. Duluth sends me right to the AMEX presale (which I don't have) so guess all the fan club presale seats are gone. There weren't many good ones; I pulled one on the floor but back farther than I wanted. I'll try my luck again on Friday and hope for better luck. Definitely want to be in the house since this one is only 20 miles down the road from my house!

Agree the fan presale was a bust but thank goodness for Amex. I haven't been great about keeping up with the "rumors" of late so when I woke up this morning to an email time stamped 2:30 am announcing Miami, I was shocked. Further shocked to see the presale was today. As I mentioned earlier, this is number 6 for me, which I realize still puts me far behind many others - but seeing him once was a dream come true so for number 6, I didn't feel the need to shell out thousands. Went modest and got lower level seats but I'm bringing my family with me. All in all I'm happy - again, considering 24 hours ago I didn't even know Miami was on his radar!
-
I never saw anything on the fab club button. I did see seats for hot sound, but not the first row package.
-
I was able to get some good floor seats, front part of section 7. I hope everyone else has luck on some good seats! Seems like the Amex presale was on the very outside sections, and middle of stage was mostly VIP's.

Infinite Energy Center advertises a presale on its website on April 28 at 1000 a.m. What kind of presale is it and do you need a password? When do tickets go on sale there to the general public? It's very confusing! Anyone? Edited to say that I found the general sale is May 1 at 1000 a.m. But still wondering about the presale on the 28th and a password.

Funny how some people have problems with TM, but I never have. Got great seats for Paul in 2013 and 2014 through them. I bypassed Paul's site and went straight to them those 2 years.

Congrats! As you've said, it's all in the quality- not the quantity. I've got my 13th show, and hopefully my 14th with MSG on the way. I've been in the LAST row of the biggest football stadium in the country (at the time) for $30 and I've been in the tenth row with a gold package and everywhere in between. I cherish every concert infinitely and looking back, it never has much to do with where my seat is...it's about the music, the stories, the adventure, and all these friends and lovers I've had the pleasure of sharing them with over the years. I've seen parts of the country I never would have seen otherwise and have lifelong memories to cherish. Moral of the story to anyone on the fence: Buy the damn tickets.

Contact AXS and ask if there is one required. https://support.axs.com/hc/en-us

For those of you who got tickets today, first of all congratulations! I was looking at some of the ticketmaster pages and I'm not seeing any seat numbers offered on the screen, only section and row. Do you really have to buy tickets now, not knowing what the seat numbers are? This can make a HUGE difference! EDIT: OK, nevermind. I see if you click on "buy" you will be shown the seat numbers. But not an improvement in TM software in my opinion. Another screen to get to before throwing back tickets!
