from the person organizing the event
why haven't they publicized it or informed the people who signed up for email updates? if they expect to sell any tickets and gain support for their charity they should have the information out there.

Today I noticed this picture at the homepage of DLF: Ringo Starr is mentioned too. I don't know if it is new. I only know I haven't seen it before. Perhaps there will be more information about the tickets soon? edit: I finally discovered where the news about the 14 tickets for $ 100,000 came from: http://www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~topic69522-David-Lynch-Foundation
The highest premium package will be $100,000 and include 14 seats, plus soundcheck, rehearsal and backstage access, though there's no confirmation those paying this money will have access to either Ringo or Paul.
Until now I assumed it had to be a joke. I am afraid your world isn't my world anymore, Paul. And somehow that makes me feel sad. Mostly for you.

Nicely said Wunjo, just for big bucks. In a way I don't understands Paul. 100.000 dollars just to see a human, sorry I can do more and better things in life than to see him in a concert

dont blame Paul for it. Dont forget this is a benefit concert and is setting out to make cash. For such a small venue it needs the big bucks to be spent. Also remember that this is only the vip package or one of them at least. When you are after that type of money you can get it for those people. Have faith

I hope this is filmed for all those of us who won't be able to go.

Exactly. The David Lynch organization undoubtedly came up with that VIP price *precisely* because they had signed Paul to headline the show. Their point is to raise money and with Paul's participation, they can command very high prices. Paul is NOT setting the ticket prices.
-
Is everyone missing that this is a charity concert - and not one organised by Paul? Paul is not making money out of this.Like it or not, most charities are interested in big donations. The Adopt a Minefield galas were the same.
-
I never paid more than $1000 for one ticket to AAM. Good seats because they were so small. Second year I attended, I ended up seated with celebs because they took my money and didn't put me on the reservation list. I wasn't seated until the beginning of the event because they had to figure out where to put me, Got to sit with James Taylor's management people.
-
Like anything else, if you can't afford to go, you don't. It's still a benefit, he won't be the only one on the bill. Are some of you going to Sheryl Crow's and Ringo's website and calling them out on it.
-
Most of us on this board can`t afford to go to any of the planned shows because we can`t afford the plane ticket, hotel, etc. That`s life. Paul`s fans really do whine alot.
-
Where on earth did I say that I am blaming Paul for these ticket prizes? I know perfectly well what a benefit concert is and that Paul doesn't set the prize and doesn't make money out of it. Besides I wasn't thinking of me not being able to go. I have been to one concert and I know for a very long time that I will never be able to go to whatever concert he is giving in the future and that's okay with me, as I don't like crowds anyhow. I have never complained about it on this board. Instead I have always expressed my genuine joy for others who would go to gigs and concerts. When I posted yesterday, I was thinking of someone else who would love to go with her family, someone I wish with all my heart she could go. She would need 4 - 5 tickets. I don't even know how much she would be able to pay, but I assume she can't afford to pay these absurd ticket prizes. My wish for her is the only reason I have been looking for news about the ticket prizes. So I was just feeling sad when I read these prizes and I expressed it. Am I allowed to do so? Obviously not! Well, don't worry, I will shut up from now on. No trolling here. Your reactions made me even more aware that Paul's world, including this board, isn't my world at all. I hope many, many children will benefit from the chance they will get to learn the Transcedental Meditation Techniques due to this concert. And I hope those who will attend will enjoy being there, including the ones who will perform.

wunjo.. you're allowed to express an opinion.. AND so is everyone else do you want everyone to agree with you? I think feact did. but you talk about the 'reactions' which clearly have upset you these are the ones i found

i don't see what the problem is not even your name is mentioned. you're dismayed about the price of these very exclusive group ticket prices? didn't Paul give, not one, but three FREE concerts a year and a half ago? relax. or don't. but..in my opinion, you're acting a little childish

Very Important People prices. Get a clue! they have money so they are and I guess we are not. : There a lot of good music out there to be had support your local musican and let the rich asshole have there paid for entertainers. Also don't hide behind chairty to gouge people thank you.
-
I do support many charitys without McCartney's involvement. I don't need to see Paul to support a charity. I can say more but I won't.
-
Nobody said you have to support every charity Paul supports, and if you can't afford, do what the rest of the fans will do, watch it on you-tube. Some concerts are benefits and some are not. This one is, ticket prices will be higher. tickets to events, concerts, sporting events are thru the roof. Appletart has a good point, support local musicans and teams. there's plenty of music out there, no need for anger. meanwhile just this package went on sale, nothing else. One post said the GA tickets are going to 90.00. That's a bargain today. Relax and wait for the tickets to actually go on sale then slam him. Nobody is gouging anyone. If you can't afford the prices or don't believe in the cause you simply don't go.
-
Paul is volunteering his time. So no should be blaming him. However he should control these guys from exploiting him and his fans. Too many rich ruin things for everyone. Look at the sports players ruining average kids from getting to attend there games. Everything good gets ruined by greed. Paul should stipulate," no greed allowed in marketing me". Ticketmaster? the day the music died!
-
so what should the price be?. Who should determine it. Who's budget should it fit? It will always be out of reach for some, and within the reach of others. People go to benefits all the time, artists perform at them. Someone posted they went to the AAM concerts and paid a hefty price for it. I hope they enjoyed it, it's a great cause and the money went to clear minefields. fans don't necessarily go to these events, many are people who believe in the cause.
-
Well good point. Has any prices been revealed and if so where. I?m hearing 100,000 for VIP?s. That sends a message of exclusiveness. If exclusiveness is the point than why doesn't David Lynch just have it at his house and tell all his rich buddies he having the gang over for dinner and you can get invited for this amount. Promote it among the NY jet set that Paul?s a part of. Why promote it to eager fans only to dash there hopes. How much do you think Paul spent on a charity ticket (not including his own charity) We know he got to cut to the front of the line for Led Zeppelin (lottery only) concert. I bet he didn't even pay for those tickets. This is a good cause but it not like your feeding the starving . Its to teach meditation to kids. Great concept but if there the kind of kid I was, they?ll be thrown out of class on the first day or there teacher will have to medicate to teach the class. I mean get real!
-
many kids meditate at school, and if they don't many should. so don't support it if you don't believe in it. Paul's raised and donated plenty of money. Did he cut the line at the led zepplin show, maybe. You have no idea if he donated the money for the ticket or not. why can't it be "exclusives" and "regular" people. We dont know what the prices are. It's not heavily promoted either, most people don't even know about it. Which is better actually, easier to get a ticket. Maybe David doesn't want a whole bunch of stangers or jetseters messing up his house. lol there's a lot jumping to conclusions on the access to this concert.

I think some people on this thread should contain themselves, sign off for a while, and try some meditation themselves.
