Paul, Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh Aug 18th - ARCHIVE

I too hope my seats are okay, they're pretty far to the side. We also went to Halifax lsast year, drove there from here in Western PA, only have to drive 50 miles this time instead of something like 13 hours last year.

Saw paul twice in cleveland in 2002. Got tickets to pittsburgh, and I'm bringing my 8 year old with me, she's really excited. Anybody else bringing their small children to pittsburgh to see Sir Paul?
I think it is awesome you are bringing your daughter! I would love to bring my son, but he is only 2, still too young. I agree with Martin, definitely get her some earplugs. My ears always ring after a show, I can't imagine how it would affect a child.
yeah, she's looking forward to it. She's been a Beatles fan since she was a baby and at 2 years old knew most of the Beatles songs and who sang it. Needlesss to say, I was so proud!
My son is the same way! He is 2 and LOVES the Beatles. As soon as we get into the car he says "Listen to the Beatles Mommy!". And he always wants to play Beatles Rock Band with my husband. He holds the mike and sings. Doesn't quite know all the songs yet, but he is getting there. It's so cute and it does make you proud! I would love to be able to take him to this show, but he is just too young. Hopefully this won't be Paul's last tour and in a couple of years I can take him!

That password is only available to the people who work for the founding partners. I know the Tribune Review and Post Gazette are both founding members. So I highly doubt that password is going to be made available to the public.

What section are you in? I'm off to the side too in 113. Isn't it great having Paul come to US this time?! I drove to NYC last year and on previous tours we traveled to Ohio and DC. It's so great knowing he's coming here this time!

The AMEX presale sold out Weds through Ticketmaster. You're probably going to have to wait until 10 am Monday morning when Ticketmaster releases the tickets to the general public. Just go to your local TM outlet Monday morning right at 10, and try for tickets! You won't need any passwords or anything special then.. and maybe (and hopefully) some better seats will be available. Good luck!

Thanks guys. Omg now I have to wait TWO more days till I buy my ticket?????????? GRRRRRRRRR. This weekend is going to be absolute TORTURE

Becky, if Pittsburgh is anything like Nashville- I'd get there REALLY early, I mean 2 hours, have breakfast in your car and be the first person in line. I'd even stop by this weekend to make sure that location will have tickets and maybe choose a location in a less populated part of town.... but make sure they will really be ready to sell tickets at 10! Tickets are selling out in minutes and being 5th in line might not do it. I know they say that online is the best way, and I was lucky enough to get through, but if I hadn't, that is what I would have done in Nashville.. Also, ask for tips from anyone who's had success buying from a ticketmaster outlet. Good luck!!!!!! And for anyone who knows about seating. What is row TT? I've checked the seating charts, even entered it in the virtual link- but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks! Britt

You must be on the floor somewhere, that is probably why it didn't come up on the virtual map.

That would suck if I have to go downtown to buy tickets.. There's one on Euclid Avenue and one in Public Square. But I don't think anyone will be in line to really get tickets to see Paul though in Pitttsburgh. If he were playing here in Cleveland yeah I'd get my butt down there super early but since this is Pittsburgh maybe it's best to buy them online?

It's going to be worse to buy them online for Pittsburgh. How fast the presale tickets went is a prime example of why it would be worse. You have a huge possibility of the ticketmaster server being overloaded, that's when they have you wait in a virtual waiting line for over 10 minutes, even more. I'm predicting tickets to be gone in less then 2 minutes online.

I think the 45 bus goes straight down to Public Square to where the ticketmaster is located by me. Maybe if I get there at 8:30 or something that should be enough time before they sell out right?

so i am on the floor in section 4 in row ee. so i have to wonder if ee means row 5 of section 4? or ee means row 31 of section 4. i am wishful thinking that section1 starts with a and section 4 starts with aa and section 7 starts with aaa? anybody know?

You should be fine if you get there that early. I really doubt there will be a line for this show all the way out in Cleveland. But if I were you, I'd call that Ticketmaster outlet first over the weekend and make sure they can get you the tickets on Monday morning for Pittsburgh. You'd hate to go all the way there to find you can't get them there, then by the time you'd get home, the show would be sold out.

You should call the Mellon Arena box office and see if they have any details on the seating of the new arena.

That is a smart idea to call the Ticketmaster outlet first. I'm pretty sure though that you can get tickets for any concert at any Ticketmaster outlet. I've done it before but that was a few years ago, so it may changed, I don't know.

I kept throwing back section 7 row kkk, so you might be on to something there. Perhaps section 4 row ee really will be row 5. I talked to a very helpful lady at the arena the other day - they are switching things over, so she has to go look some stuff up, but she helped a lot.

Thanks...I've been panicking about getting my ticket all day today and I don't want to miss out on this. Not after I've waited SEVEN years to see Paul again. I'll be heartbroken if I can't get a ticket for this show.

What section are you in? I'm off to the side too in 113. Isn't it great having Paul come to US this time?! I drove to NYC last year and on previous tours we traveled to Ohio and DC. It's so great knowing he's coming here this time!
I got seats in Section 221 just couldn't get myself to spend more since this is the 10th time I've seen Paul and there's going to be 6 of us this time. Anyway I hope going for these seats wasn't a mistake.

~ BUMP ~ This should be on front pg. I'm not happy w/ my seat but the TM kept giving me the 105 sec. each time I threw it back I got the same sec. again excpt further back, I began to wonder if I'd wait too long I wouldn't get anything!!! I know, I should be glad I'm getting to go at all, But I wasn't counting on this lousy of a seat...5 1/2 hrs. of driving to set way back, so far back I don't think I'll be able to see anything...if any of you are going....take photos so I can see what I missed, OK?!!!
