-
Any news there Chrissie? Bums me out a bit hearing all these other confirmations and still nothing for us. I suppose if the September thing was true they wouldn't confirm right away, but dayum! Throw us a bone Macca!
-
Paul remember your Aussie fans! So please come! This is getting a wee bit tiring but can't give up hope
-
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS PAUL MCCARTNEY! NEED I EXPLAIN!

A whiner? I think not! Its only natural for us Aussies to start to get a bit 'Antsy' when we see the rest of the world getting a bit of 'Paul' and not us. Share the Love Paul!

BUMP..... C'mon Paul, lets get ready for the party...don't you know how long it takes ?

Hi Everyone, Nothing new to add yet, regarding the tour. It has all gone quiet which is a bit of a worry. Has anyone seem paul's new dvd, Good Evening New York? If not, go buy it, it is AWESOME Let's try and keep this forum on page one. It had been going for so long it would be a pity if we lost interest now. Cheers Chrissie PAUL FOR OZ!!!!!

Now that Paul's announcing tour dates, we better make sure he knows that us Aussies are still anxious for news of a tour.

Sorry, it's just not going to happen. Paul's reluctance to tour here appears to be primarily related to money. The "numbers " don?t add up apparently. How is it AC/DC can ship the biggest load of equipment EVER to this country and sell enough tickets to make a profit? Their stage was the biggest EVER to be assembled here. They can spend millions to stage a tour and still make money. Why is Paul about the only international act that can't come here because it "won't be profitable"? Every other act can make a profit, why would he be incapable of doing so? It's not like Paul's show is any more massive than everyone else (look at the size of the U2 and Rolling Stones concerts). Scale the thing down to 10-15,000 seat indoor arenas like most other big name acts (Pearl Jam, REM, Eric Clapton, Elton John to mention a few). The Stones did it in 2002 and put on great shows. Paul can do a show in a 4,500 seat venue like The Joint in Las Vegas and make money. Why does he seem to think he can't make money here? This whole "economics" excuse is rubbish! Why doesn't Paul just come out and say he doesn't want to tour Australia? Saying that won't have any effect on his record sales here as he doesn't sell anything here! And maybe that's the real reason why he won't come. In his mind there is no market here for him. There's no market for Cliff Richard and The Shadows but they toured! Look at Pink. Not my cup of tea but she has my utmost respect. To come here and do more than 50 concerts last year shows she not only has a desire to make money but she WANTS to entertain. She didn't have to work herself into the ground doing that many shows. She chose to because she wanted to. I think Paul underestimates the scale of the ill-will here as a result of his cancellation of his single show in Melbourne in 2002, supposedly cancelled out of respect for the Aussie victims of the Bali bombings. Let's have a look at the "numbers" though. 30,000 tickets sold out of 50,000 over a period of a couple of months (remember when he gave fans sufficient notice before a gig or tour?). Paul's ego would've taken a hit as the show wasn't a sell out and sales seemed to have flat lined. Okay, fair enough. Maybe the Australian public were too slow or didn?t show enough interest. Come out and tell us that then. Why hide behind a terrorist atrocity? It didn?t stop him playing in a benefit concert in New York straight after 9/11. He could have made the Melbourne show a benefit concert and sold it out. Touring here, even if just a couple of shows, will remind us of just why we love him and his music. What better way to mend fences?

Very, very well said, Graystoke. I concur absolutely. Tired of reading teasers and hearing rumours in the newspapers over the last 8 years that Paul is touring Australia...time and again our hopes have been raised, then dashed - and not just by rumours, but even by what Paul has said himself regarding the prospects of another visit downunder. If he doesn't want to tour here ever again - and it's never going to happen, please tell us Paul!
-
ok my feelings have been crushed before but not as bad as this i have been waiting so long for him to come if your saying he has something against Australia i dont know what. I feel as if my life is incomplete...i know it sounds strange to you but if you know my story you will know why...
-
2002 ticket sales were ordinary so a promoter will be reluctant to run with it. (anyone want to bet on springsteen coming back anytime soon??). paul could play a sell out show three nights a week in the US all year round. For the limited amount of touring he does it's not worth making the trip down here. it's ok paul, i don't take it personally wink

Hey, I really feel your pain and I honestly don't know whats true and whats not, but I do know I will continue to be positive about Paul doing a concert here. So don't be sad, where there is life there is hope!

For someone who's waited 20 years to get an anouncement that Pauls coming to their country - I just want to add my support to your campaign
