1st row! Jinro soju for everyone!
Oh no, lol, been there done that. Are you a Korea vet? I was stationed at Camp Stanley in 83 and 84. I was tempted to go to the Seoul show until the US dates where announced.

Congratulations! Are you coming to Korea from the states just for the show? Wow~!
Thanks! I was planning on touring China and Tibet for 2 months anyway so, needless to say, when the rumors for Seoul started; I did some minor adjustments to the itinerary. It was also $1000 cheaper to fly into Seoul from the States than Beijing...go figure (and if you figure out airline fare schemes you get the Nobel Prize in Mathematics). Must say I was very surprised he is going back to Japan again so soon but I couldn't pass up Osaka, either. Here's hoping there is still a Crowdsurge presale for Japan. ps-looks like Seoul just sold out, too!

No, not a vet but I am looking forward to the USO tour of the DMZ/JSA. Should be an interesting experience.

All that's left are the front row/hot sound packages, which happen to be the best seats in the house
-
Any chance he'll "postpone" the Seoul show out of respect for the tragic loss of life in the South Korean ferry disaster? I doubt it!
-
Apparently there will be an announcement tomorrow at 4 PM (local time) saying that this concert will be postponed, due to Paul's current illness.

Here's the link to my story, which was the first word about the South Korea show. http://www.examiner.com/article/paul-mccartney-to-announce-illness-will-cause-south-korea-show-to-be-postponed
-

Well, I'm half way across the Pacific on my way to Seoul writing this and must say if the rumors of his hospitalization in Tokyo are true it sounds like he became severely dehydrated from this virus. Hopefully a few liters of IV fluids will make a world of difference and this nasty bug will pass. Get better, Sir Paul! We'll look forward to seeing you out there later this summer in the US!

I'm upset by just everything about this. I've been looking forward for a while now. Of course I understand his health is top priority, and I care for Paul's health just as you guys do. But I am only going to be stationed here in Korea until October. I'm from Texas and missed Paul when he was playing in Austin because I was going through boot camp for the Air Force. When I saw the announcement I was so ecstatic. Then the bad news just kept building. Hoping the Korea date was far way enough. Now it's being postponed to who knows when. And I can't take leave for the Dallas show because I'm already trying to use what little leave I have for my cousins wedding in July. I don't want a refund. I can't help but feel like i'm being self centered for wanting to see Paul.

It's totally understandable. I met several fans in Chile who had tickets for the April 21 show, and when it was postponed those people were unable to stay any longer. They had to accept a refund and were quite sad. Hopefully Paul will return to Seoul while you're still there!
-
It appears I have received a refund for the ticket that I bought from Etix.com Although I received no notification of it, I just noticed it in my bank statement. I wonder what this means for the asian dates... I think it will be rescheduled to a time after all the US dates which mean Nov./Dec. hopefully I'm wrong and it's in September. If they issued refunds to everyone else then that means that the tickets will have to go on sale again and I will have to go through the nervousness of buying another ticket and trying to get a good seat.
: -
Wow. So no "Hold on to your tickets, they will be honored at a future show." Maybe the thought is, even if the shows are re-scheduled for Nov-Dec, it is too far ahead to expect people to hang on to their tickets. Or perhaps the shows will be scheduled in 2015. Who knows???

:Wow, that part would be frustrating. I hope you are able to catch either a rescheduled Korean show or make that one in Dallas. And, thank you for your service.

England would make sense in 2015! Good luck!
