c'mon buddy! cancel or sell what ever ticket!!~ let's rock with Macca & Co...

shoot! I might try don't know ? humm humm... geez~

The venue seats 15,000 for concerts.
-
THE VENUE WAS BUILT IN 30 AD, MAKING IT EVEN OLDER THAN THE COLISEUM, SO THS IS THE OLDEST VENUE PAUL HAS EVER PLAYED IN!!!!

I stand corrected. I thought if McCartney plays Las Cruces, that would be the smallest venue on the tour (30,000) but this is half the size. What an amazing place to see a concert!!
-
I have a DVD of a 2003 Jamiroquai concert in Verona -- fantastic audience! Paul's gonna rock 'em.
-
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.

L'Arena di Verona è un posto magico, così come magico è Paul. Doveva prima o poi arrivare per farci un concerto. Non poteva farsi scappare questa unica, meravigliosa location....e io ci sarò!
....ma 3 giorni prima sarò anche a Varsavia! ;-))))))))))) -
The Arena ( this is the real italian name of the location) of Verona is a magic place. It isn't large so the sound is spectacular...great ancient roman architecture !
I' ll be there! -

: is it possible.. There is a Ryanair flight from Warsaw to Bologna on the 25Th morning It arrives in Bologna at 12.30 and from Bologna to Verona it's a 2 hours trip. I'll take that flight... And from Verona to Vienna you can take the train

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 shitty 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.

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-- -
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.
