Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
-
I have gotten email updates about the shows and presales. But after the short-lived PMC.com membership club I get them many hours later. So that round of shows where they would email, "presale now!" I would get the email like 8 hours later
-
interesting because U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis also has "big news coming tomorrow!" doesn't say it's a show, but the new stadium opens July 2016, we know how much Paul loves to be the first

The Target Arena, the arena in Minneapolis, has tweeted about a 'Concert announcement of royal proportions'. Could it be SIR Paul?
Depends, has Phil Collins been knighted?

Nope! Quite curious now...maybe Elton's adding some new US dates for the fall? The current string he's on promoting his new album is rather skimpy.

Could be Prince...

"The announcement [Paris] is the latest European date to be confirmed following German and Spanish dates." Europe now following with the drip-drip announcements as well...

Is anyone else getting quite frustrated by the way the are announcing the tour dates? Why can't they just do it in one go or announce a batch of shows at a time?

Folks have been complaining about this for years (myself included). No one knows why they announce shows the way they do. They don't need to, but since they've been doing it like this for the last several years, they are unfortunately aren't going to change their ways.

O yes, so true.. I dont know what I have to do. I would understand if he won't announce anything for Autumn, but its March and we dont know what he will do in May

Extremely frustrating. The worst ever tour announcement is the Springsteen European tour this year. They have been dropping dates for 2 months now and it is probably still not over. Always 1 or 2 dates go on sale. The best possible scheme for scalpers who make their living that way and can spend all the time they need on the net searching for info, plus they can take part in every pre sale. Impossible to do if all dates go on sale at once. It really works great with the Springsteen tour for them, where the tickets are extremely hot and good tickets are gone within seconds. Nightmare for someone who goes to work... Paul follows the exactly the same scheme, but his tickets are not that hot, so it is not such a gold mine for scalpers, but still very frustrating for fans. It is beyond my understanding why choosing this scheme. When there is a European tour with 8 dates that are announced during 2 weeks, why not wait those 2 weeks and announce them at once? I understand that it is difficult to do that with festivals, but shouldn't be a problem with all other dates. Right now I am really happy with my Berlin ticket, but I am still anxious whether there wouldn't be some second convenient place for me to go, so I keep on checking the net and it really takes a lot of my time. I know, it is my choice... Still, if I knew from the start, that there will be a date in Prague, I would not go to Berlin, which is really expensive, since I must add the cost of a hotel and travel expenses. I hope this strategy is not because of "tricking" some fans into buying tickets to more shows...well, "tricking" is not the right word obviously, we all do it voluntarily an it is not like I would feel cheated if I go to both Berlin and Prague
But that is probably not the reason, since the amount of people doing more shows is an absolute minority in the huge amount of all those people filling the stadiums. So what is really the reason?

I don't mind that the whole tour isn't announced yet but they could at least announce the shows during the same leg at the same time. I'm quite nervous for when he announces a UK tour as it could be when I'm away, I wouldn't mind knowing so I know to go for a different concert

While maddening its the way he does it i suppose though i have to say i cant offhand think of any other artist that does it this way..anyways any UK dates on the horizon?this thread has exploded with info in the ast few days.

Keep checking PaulMcCartney.com for further announcements.

In the case of european concerts it's the first time that there are several days between the announcements. 2009 & 2011 there were announced at once. IMO the three gig's 2013 were announced step by step with less delay on one day. And the concerts last year were announced in block too. I'm glad that the 3 german gig's were confirmed at once but I can really understand the feeling of all the fans from the rest of europe

I'm so glad I'll be sitting this one out. Again. Yeah, frustrating how he announces gigs. Makes it very nerve racking as to which show to buy a ticket to if you really want to go. But others do it. Garth Brooks has been doing it all year, announcing one or two cities at a time. I've seen everyone I want to see. I'm going to Italy in July, then coming home and probably buying a ticket to see Janet Jackson in Albuquerque! She puts on one helluva show!

Doesn't look like the old dog is going to learn any new tricks on this tour.

Why are you going in July? Paul will perform in Italy in June... or so they say.

So does this really mean no other shows in Europe?
