I gotta say, I hate the way Ticketmaster does their business. To get McCartney tickets you’ve gotta register for pre-sale. So I do, I register. Then I get an email a day or 2 later saying that I’m on the “waitlist”, and “should more tickets become available, registrants will be randomly selected and notified via text message”. Which is already a buncha BS.
It gets worse: I then go to StubHub and they’ve already got nearly 2,000 tickets available!
So Ticketmaster does it this way, they say, to keep bots from buying tickets so the real fans can. Well guess what, it’s NOT WORKING! I’m as big a Macca fan as anyone, been a mega fan for 45 (or more) years, but I might have to restort to paying ridiculous amounts of money to get nosebleed seats! I had/have plans to take my 9 year old son, who LOVES all Paul and the Beatles, to his first concert in Fort Wayne. It would be a very special, once in a lifetime experience that we’d share together that he would NEVER forget for the rest of his life. Hope these a-holes don’t blow it for us. It shouldn’t be this difficult. It’ll be crushing if it doesn’t work out.
Ugh! I'm in the same boat! I just want the dang code!!

Is this supposed to stop scalpers? HA!

I don't like this either, but which city was this for? I didn't have a problem getting a ticket for Phoenix, maybe your venue has a higher demand?

I have had time to get even more upset by the Waiting List. I feel really let down by Ticketmaster. I’ve been a good customer buying $2000. tickets every year since 2009. They know I’m not a scalper, I only buy 1 or 2 at a time. I have always purchased the TM VIP , some have turned out to be good,some not so good but at least I had free choice., I made the decision to buy or not. Now it’s not free choice, it’s no choice.
l really hope this is temporary. It has driven me to either give up and don’t go or buy from the scalpers at almost 3,000$ They have raised their prices to off set any losses.
I have been up front for so long ,I tried a cheaper seat once but.......
