Boston, MA - Fenway Park - July 9, 2013 - ARCHIVE
-
Alright - I'm 'in da house'...although I didn't splurge for 'up close' seats (and I'm good with that as I don't have a desire to be in his face anyway...LOL)...I'm taking my 15 year old daughter, who also came the last time Paul played Fenway...she's proving herself to be a real fan of the 60's and 70's pop/rock scene with the Beatles as her number one choice (somehow The Doors have snuck in as another one of her favorites)...she'll probably wear the Paul shirt we bought another time - all black with the word 'Paul McCartney' spelled out with gold bead like things while I'll probably wear the Comedy Relief Red Nose Beatles T Shirt Stella McCartney designed a few years ago (I lost 85 lbs and can wear that now...LOL) Should be a good time...although it's billed as a new tour, the two songs I hope stay in place are Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five and the Golden Slumbers medley...other than that, while I'd prefer some decent amount of shake up, it wouldn't make a huge difference either way for what he chooses to play...it's always fun and the 'he never changes his set list' discussions are relegated to after the fact 'I have nothing to talk about' banter...:-)

Does anyone know if the fan pre-sale tickets for Boston are all gone. I can't get into the site.
-
I got into the presale a while ago and nothing on the field was left. I'm also wondering why I need to put in my userid as well as password every time. I'd checked to keep me signed in...

Still field seats (at least singles) at the Amex sale.

More Boston fan pre-sale tickets released!

I just paid $3500 for 2 Fenway seats A5 row 6 Knowing I am paying scalping rates- I took a dive. I'm feeling both unsure and psyched to be 6th row at the same time.
-
Thats completly insane. You could have bought a gold package for $2000 less.

Thanks- I looked into that- it is $500 less. I meant total and not per ticket.

The presale page lists the show at 5pm. Is this accurate? It hardly seems possible. Even with Paul getting on the stage his usual 1 hour late, that puts the Live and Let Die number around 8 or 8:30 when it's still light out.

Even my ticket receipt lists the show at 17:00, which is 5pm

I'm loving that so many boardies will be at the show! Should we start a list of who's going on here, and where we're sitting, so we can meet up with folks if we want to say "hi"?

Are you sure that's not the doors at 5:00. I know in St Louis they changed the doors at the last minute from 7:00 to 6:30. It was nice having longer to get in and relax before the show. Maybe Paul is planning on playing for 5-6 hours on this tour!!

Tickets always bear doors open time, not show-time. Artists like Paul never publish start time - they love to keep us guessing. It avoids attendees staying in bars and restaurants till the 59th minute and trying to rush in at the last moment. Martin

Every concert stub I've went to Martin always bear the concert start time. St. Louis said 8:00PM and doors were at 6:30. The only way you knew of the door time as it was changed that day, was to ask the arena officials. Sometimes stubs will indicate both times, i.e. 8:00PM - DOORS AT 7:00PM. Either way, a 5:00 door is still really early. There must be an opening act. I still expect Paul to start at 8:00 or 8:30. Maybe 7:00 at the earliest.

I'm going! I was lucky enough to use this website's pre-sale, and I will be in the presence of Sir Paul McCartney once again! And yes, it would be very cool to meet up with board people, just to say "hello!"

There are noise ordinances for Fenway because it is in a residential area. The show HAS to be done by 11:00. Last time he played Fenway he started EARLY, around 7:30 one night, and I think by 7:45 the next night. So doors open early because he goes on stage early. This was a big deal last time he was there and the city would not approve the permit if promises were not made to have the show over by 11:00 (and he kept his promise last time!)

See my post about Boston noise ordinances. Paul will start early!

I agree mine all show the show time. Never heard this before.
