I'm still impressed by how beautiful that theater is! What is the seating capacity? By the way, since this is not a regular arena or stadium, will they change the seating configuration and prices, as well as those special packages, such as Front Row and Hot Sound?

It seats 15,000 for concerts. I don't know about the packages. The theater was built in 30 AD!! I heard the acoustics are incredible and the audience is very enthusiastic, so it'll be a great show.

I just adore Paul he couldn't have choosen a better place, small arena, great acoustic. Again, thank you Paul !

This has me thinking. I have read different stories about what Paul charges or is charging, ranging from $1 million to $3 million per show. I wonder if he has a sliding scale. For a venue that seats 15,000, certainly a crowd that size cannot generate $3 million like a 50,000 seat stadium.
Maybe Paul's staff required some biggert agreement than the tickets income. It's a major attraction for the city itself well worthy every price they needed to pay to book Paul.

Ok, catching up with all:
SandraH:
what I learnt from Milan: if the concert is GA, don´t buy from crowdsurge in the pre-sale! you only get the information for your ticket, then you have to queue at the venue for getting your ticket very very late. in the meantime there are hundreds/thousands of people in another queue in front of the entrance, who already have their ticket (bought in the regular sale and already home printed)....
This can't be repeated enough. I now learn Milan was the same chaos as in Bologna one day earlier. They screwed us big time, the only time I had a really sh**ty view during one of his shows, and only because of their disorganisation. The most amateuristic troop I have ever experienced for a concert. Unheard of. While, with general admission, all could have been so perfect. Travelled from The Netherlands to Italy, queued since noon in the freezing cold, and ended at the back of the venue on my own without any of the fans I met. It was a disgrace. Mind, as soon as McCartney hit the stage with 'Magical Mystery Tour' I forgot all about it, and the shock-stunning additions of 'Come And Get It' and 'The Word'/'All You Need Is Love' made it one of the best McCartney concerts I ever saw. But, whatever you do: let them send you the tickets beforehand. Even if you have to pay let's say 20 bucks for it. Will Call/box office ('pick up tickets at venue') will screw you over big time in Italy I'm afraid.

In that same single week I'm already elsewhere... Gutted this is it.
c'mon buddy! cancel or sell what ever ticket!!~ let's rock with Macca & Co...
I know right! What are the odds this short spree would take place in the only few days I'm not free as a bird so far this year to leave everything behind and go on McCartney holiday... I would gladly axe every event, but that's a bit hard since we are talking about a potential week at no less than Glastonbury. I will only know for sure in late April. By then it's much too late for McCartney tickets. Plus since there is no advance notice, I'm stuck with work and not in the opportunity to catch proper seats tomorrow morning... (Why no one or two day advance... Then I could have fixed something...) It's not going to work out. I got lucky with 4 (!) EU 'On The Run' concert in 4 different countries with 4 perfect - ok, one not totally perfect as stated above - seats, so I'm not complaining. Just sucks to know I will miss one 'Letting Go'- or 'Come And Get It'-like addition, since that one will be gone before he's maybe coming back later this year, lol! Hey, I would gladly help you with any of your EU travel plans. Warsaw-Vienna will be 180 bucks with Air Berlin. Warsaw-Bologna (2 hours from Verona) about 170 dollars, if you travel on a certain date, or indeed as already suggested through Ryanair. Let me know!
ahhhhhh
ops:
OK>>>> yep, Im confused on the travel...
verona has no airport...? gotta get back to vienna gotta be in Vienna on the 26th--
http://www.aeroportoverona.it/en/voli/arrivi_giorno.asp i hope that helps
-
the Ryan Air combination is a good idea!! for all the planners: all distances in Europe are possible to make in one week. flight from Warsaw to Bologna: 30 EUR train from Bologna to Verona: 9 EUR flight from Verona to Vienna: germanwings, 125 EUR
-
Excuse the bitterness, but... Let me guess, still no information about seats, price categories or venue maps...?

I can somehow understand your frustration, but the prices you're quoting aren't really all that bad. The best seats for the Warsaw concert cost 1100 PLN, which is ?260 and, trust me, that's a hell of a lot of money. PS. I also get the feeling it's not necesasarily Sir Paul but the organizers / promoters / venue administrators who charge these prices in order to get the biggest piece of the pie they can.

That's expensive for Europe. Hopefully it means nothing for the US, or else I'm screwed.

where do you find the ticket prices?

I have not said that Italy is the only date with expensive prices..I think Poland Brothers are not so happy to have tickets so expansive...Macca please if you are reading or somebady for you ..take some solution!!!

Paul McCartney decide where he want to play and the organiser are taking decision about th eprice to arrive at macca request..so in all tis only a name is responsable of all...Sir Macca!!! I hope he will take a solution...he is th eonly that can to change things....nobody else
-
230 euro? That's £200 for me. My last Macca ticket cost me £100... that's a 100% increase. That's probably why he's going to new places and not the UK, because they want to charge more and know that enforcing an 100% ticket price increase here would be quite a shock. It's always about money money money. That's why they're obsessed with going across the Atlantic because they can get away with charging so much. I understand for people over there it's very expensive compared to Europe, but I think it's really wrong and narcissistic to jack prices up like that. Paul's fans all over the world aren't rich. What they're doing is disgusting. No wonder they've broken the Denmark reschedule promise... they'd rather go somewhere and charge even more. They make MILLIONS and they want even more millions. Just charge a FAIR ticket price that's the same all over the world.
