Thank you very much! However, I must warn those thinking about buying those packages. I believe the company selling them (SloTix) has made a mistake: they sent me another confirmation e-mail identical to the first one, except the fields "Row" and "Seat" are now blank. I have just done a simulation of a new order and no seats are shown anymore. That means the sector called "Pista Premier" is 100% general audience (everyone standing), which I'm used to anyway. However, there is another package ($50 cheaper than mine) with numbered seats. I have done a simulation of it and got "Sector 113" which is to the left (if you are facing the stage) of the "Pista Premier". Trouble is: it's not nearly as close to the stage as the other package. I'm still happy about my package, but SloTix failed to provide accurate info to customers at the time sales began. I hope fans will not regret the packages they chose earlier today. I'm still happy about mine and I hope my research will be helpful to others.

Sounds confusing!
: but I am glad for you that you got tickets for this show! 
, since it is an indoor arena with less tickets, sounds like it will sell out quickly. -

It's Paul's first indoor arena concert in Brazil. You wouldn't believe how crazy desperate people are for tickets. Many fans are selling their tickets to McCartney shows in other cities so that they can be at this one. Just as an example, up to yesterday there were 4 flights available from Vitória to Rio on november 11, and today they are all gone! That means hundreds of people bought plane tickets today so that they can attend both the november 10 and 12 shows.

I've been awake since 4:20 AM for the Brasília pre-sale, and then this surprise announcement came at 9 AM of the Rio concert, with the pre-sale just two hours later! Now it's 10 PM and I'm still so excited that I'm not feeling tired yet. The next couple of days will be hectic for those who will try to buy tickets during the general sales for those two cities. I'm glad I'll be able to rest.

YESSS!!!!! Tudus finally allowed me to register after three days of trying! And my credit card was accepted! I hope I don't get a nasty surprise when I try to collect my tickets at the venue! Flights now only look about half full...Possibly due to the ebola scare??? See you OUT THERE in Vitoria and Rio!

Congratulations! I believe you will be at the most interesting concerts: the opening night in Vitória and Paul's first indoors concert in Brazil, in Rio. There are also nice beaches and plenty of tourist attractions in both cities.

Here is footage of Paul inviting the fans to this concert: http://www.oglobo.globo.com/cultura/musica/em-video-paul-mccartney-convoca-fas-para-show-no-rio-14376043 About 14,000 tickets have been put on sale.

Just arrived in Rio! The band was at the beach in Copacabana yesterday enjoying the sun. They were nice to the fans and posed for pictures with a friend of mine.

Soundcheck is about to begin. Here is the merchandise area:

WooHoo! Thanks for all the reports Carlos! Have a good time.
