General Sale
-
Just a question-- I was GIPPED today during the Albany pre sale and was wondering what my odds were for the General Sale. Has anyone ever gotten tix during the general sale? I scored 2 for Billy Joel but not sure for Paul.
-
I'm in the exact same boat.
-
Good luck, it would be good to know how many were made available and how many are left for monday. I hope you're successful

I've gotten general sale tickets for every McCartney show I've been to except for last summer (since we went for VIP). I didn't get anything in today's presale, will try AMEX tomorrow and whatever else comes up by Monday but I'm really not the least bit concerned about getting tickets Monday if needed.

The more tickets you're trying to buy (for example, 4 together) the harder it will be. If you only need one seat it will be easier. Just keep trying, sometimes people throw tickets back as they're searching, and if you're persistent you should be able to get something. Good luck.

I don't even know if there's such a thing as going to the box office anymore. As in, lining up on the day of the sale etc. The last time I've seen anything like this was when Elton John came to Baltimore in 2011 and there were a bunch of old Baltimore hons lined up at the arena dodging bullets
They had them on the news! -

Does anybody have advice for getting the lower-end seats during the general sale? I need two seats for $59.50 tomorrow for Albany, or else I'm not going. Maybe $99.50, but I'm not sure the padres will go for it. Do you think I have a shot? I'll be right on at 10am, and am willing to refresh as much as possible for 2 hours. Any tips? I'm going to take the first that's given to me. Paul has no obstructed views inside so what do I have to lose? Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone getting tickets tomorrow.

Just wanted you to know you were so right! I needed to get 1 more ticket. I started right @ 10am. I had 1 & idk if ticketmaster had a problem with their server, but i lost it. I searched for an hour. I was getting ready for work & thought well, they s. d be persistent. I had given up. Bam! 1 ticket popped up!! Omg! Then i almost had a heart attack when my credit card decided to take me from TM to make sure I was me! I got back, hit purchase & had like 10 seconds to spare when i got the green"You are going to see Paul McCartney!" Screen. Whoo hoo! I do miss the days of standing in line & going to the counter & picking your tickets on a seating chart, & walking out tickets in hand.

I did the presale last week (Pittsburgh) myself and my two buddies were trying to get tickets together. I felt uneasy about trying to get 3 tickets together, I normally have trouble trying to get two good seats together and three is pushing it in my book. I logged right on at 10 a.m and right away I got an error screen (404 or whatever) I hurried up and logged back on while it started freezing and was showing a sort of blank white screen where all the dates were suppose to be. It finally loaded and took me to Albany! I started to panic, logged back on again. It happened to direct this time to Pittsburgh, I hurried up and put 3 seats and I lucked out! I was able to secure 3 tickets together in section 5 front row! I couldn't believe with how much trouble I had that I was able to get such good seats, especially with 3 being together. I didn't realize at the time how much trouble everyone else was having and I think where I got lucky was getting into Pittsburgh's queue on the 2nd shot. I get SO much anxiety when trying to get tickets for concerts ever since my first Paul experience, where we waited in line at ticketmaster right at 10 a.m with 2 ahows and all of the tickets selling out like nothing flat! I only got lucky later on closer to the concert date getting two seats. It didn't matter at that time where I sat because I was just happy to be in the building. Next time I am going to save up and get one of the front row packages I think!

Hi all- I unfortunately didn't get tickets for Albany (I was offered seats, but turned them down due to my limited price range). HOWEVER, many people complained about not getting even in to Ticketmaster. I suggest BOOKMARKING THE EXACT PAGE the night before the show goes onsale. All you have to do is click the bookmarked link when they go onsale. Any other cheats and tips please feel free to leave them below.

It's easier to get single tickets than it is to get 2, 3, 4 or more together.

It is easier to get single tickets. If you are fast and so is your computer you can try to get 2. If you require more, have another person search too. I had my phone & computer searching for 1 ticket for the Albany sale. Beware of the fact that I had a ticket in my cart @ 10:01 (my phone search) I got an error message from Ticketmaster & lost that ticket. I think with buying for multiple Paul shows, we all almost crashed their server
Don't give up. I got back in the virtual ticket line & kept hitting search. People tie up tickets & then don't buy them. 10:57. Bam! 1 ticket appeared!

you can still do good at a general sale,, regardless of concert or location,, you have to be persistent,, and ready to buy with cash or card,, patients has a lot to do with it,, and you have to be on time

I have had good luck through general sale at Ticketmaster. Last years Indianapolis and Milwaukee shows, floor 16th row center, two seats on isle. My tip's are sign in early to Ticketmaster and I go Best Available, and hope for best. I did get two in sec 102 (Chicago) at WDRV presale Friday. If I get better tix's at Mondays general sale gonna sell them for face value here at PM.com. I regress here: Ticketmaster was re selling tickets at 10AM. I cannot believe they can do that. If your a McCartney fan buy your ticket and be happy your going to see Paul, but then resell it for profit to a fan. KARMA

HELP If you missed your chance to get pre-sale tickets for one of Paul McCartney?s concerts, when do the general sale tickets become available?

It depends on the show, but typically it is the Monday morning following the presales.
