I noticed on TM seats are still available, even the VIP packages. Wonder what they'll do with those seats in the packages that doesn't sell..
Standard practice from the big US promoters (Live Nation, AIG), artists, and Ticketmaster is to do late breaking ticket drops. For people who check Ticketmaster at the right time, better seats than what are showing up now will be made available. This could be any time between now and the show but more likely the closer we get, including the week before, day before, and/or around noon the day of. Those great seats can be comprised of ticket holds by the promoter (it's sickening, but they will push the "not great" seats in section 116 to try to get rid of them, because they know the better seats will be easier to get rid of later; they know that many people will say "Well, gee, I'd rather be up close, but looks like section 116 is the only thing that's available, so, since I want to see Paul, I'll take those seats"), production seats (seats that may have been held for Paul, his band, the crew, etc to use as they wish - usually these get released the day of the show), and/or VIP packages that don't sell at the higher prices.
I think this is accurate, although it poses a huge problem for those of us who are such die-hard Paul fans that we couldn't possibly wait until the last minute to get tickets. The "smart" thing, if you can stand it, would be to buy a regular price ticket in the arena, and just hope that something better comes up later. That is, if you can afford two tickets. I am doing VIP and I know someone could get a better deal, but I just couldn't risk it. My husband lost our tickets to Bruce Springsteen several years ago so we had to buy at the box office when we got to the arena (knowing we could sit in our original seats since the tickets were just lost). We got GREAT seats (it was a GA show, so nothing on the floor) and I never even THOUGHT about going to the other seats. So you never know..... (but I still couldn't risk it for Paul!)

I hope my excitement from the Nashville show will hold me over and give me enough energy for the Charlotte show. I think the reason I might not be too excited for this show is the seats are not where I wanted them to be. I guess I got so excited over my Nashville luck that I thought it would carry over with Charlotte as well. My fault for hitting the presale up 2 hours late though.
