I didn't know about it until now! Do you know something about how tickets in 2013 in Poland had sold? I remember only, that tickets in first row was for very rich people. And maybe it was the reason why Live Nation dont want to invite him to us again.
I remember that the stage was moved several meters because tickets didn't sold as wished. I believe some blocks on the borders were dropped. The ticket price I paid for a standard front row ticket (~205 Euro) were the highest till now. 2009/13 I got front row tickets for 150-170 Euro.
And we pay $2000 in the U.S. for front row! (250 Euros = $271.92)
even our soundcheck packages or "cheaper" I paid ~650 Euro for the packages in amsterdam/vienna.
Oh, I thought the 250 Euros included the sound package. We can't buy front row unless we buy the whole package. Still, only 650 Euros?!!

for several venues it was possible to get front row tickets alone. Often I got "2nd class" front row seats as they were quite on the edge... but I got the luck to move at the beginning to the center Now

Oh no, I want him so bad in Europe, South America is like distance from Earth to moon for me. And everyone are saying that he won't perform there in near future, because his shows are not selling as good as in both Americas. I'm so impatient and there is no real rumours from his team
He sold out last year 2x London, 2x Amsterdam, Liverpool, Paris etc etc . Maybe in America he perform in larger stadium, but and in europe he have big audience.
Amsterdam was far from sold-out. Whole sections for the second gig were given away, standing tickets were going for a few tenners, and even sponsors did '2 for 1'-discount actions, unheard of.
He may never play Amsterdam again!
Yeah, I think it will be a long time before he will, if ever again. The stale setlist was a big factor in his poor selling shows half a year ago. That, and he went from arenas or smaller (closed) stadiums in 2009, 2011 and 2012 to the open-air football stadiums or two nights at arenas in 2013 and 2015. And the prices went up, up, up. Europe isn't having that, and there are plenty of countries which are, so I won't be surprised about what comes out of this. Regarding all the bloated prices mentioned above. General admission standing in Amsterdam, 2 for 1 standing ticket deal which worked out at around 50 eurobucks:

Paul will play Europe again. The question is where? Places he has not been to in a while, like Spain, Portugal, Italy. Surprised he never played Greece. A free concert in Athens at the Acropolis would be dramatic. Then again, Greece has economic problems, like New Mexico.

I'd love to see him play China, and Australia.

I always wondered why he never went back to Australia after he cancelled in 2003 or 4.

It could be as simple as not wanting to risk NOT selling out, both for financial and image reasons. On a smaller scale, New Mexico likely suffers the same fate for the same reasons, ie Las Cruces, while he had 27,000 people, still had sluggish sales.

Hey lads, the Stones are coming for 3 huge shows in February, so I don't see why Paul wouldn't return as well.

His shows are much more magical and levitate on another dimension! There is no LOGICAL reason he can't play Argentina. Or other places that start with an "A".

I'll be at their concert in Rio, at Maracanã Stadium. It will be a warm-up while I'm waiting for Paul's return.

Why do I not doubt Paul will play Brazil in 2016??

Hell, he could play Atlantis for all I care: Just re-vamp that damn setlist, please!

I think he will play Atlantis before he plays certain other places that start with "A"!
