Vienna, Austria, Ernst-Happel-Stadion, 27th June - ARCHIVE
-
To wait & see if there's a German date available eventually, or to just go for Vienna and spend more than I earn in a month - agh, blood pressure's probably soaring right now.

Had issues -- nothing came up at the website until sometime after 9:20 (the time I looked at the clock), Then got only error messages,looked like the page had crased?? then even this board wouldn't come up. Looked on Twitter and finally saw a link there, clicked on it, and since this was on my phone now, I didn't see the instruction about the code, so just logged in with my email and then didnt know what code to enter, kept trying to figure that out ( was something sent out in email??, checked that, etc.) and then finally saw the code in the far upper right-hand corner, jotted it down since it wouldn't cut and paste. Had glanced at the map of the venue, when that page was available, but it didn't help when I got to the section where I had a ticket, and there was no link to the map at that point -- really bad(!) since I had no way of telling where the seat was in the stadium. Remembered that the map had said only said Gold and the seat said Diamond, which didnt help any. Finally just gave the seat up, as I wasn't going to purchase blindly when I would be flying so far for th concert. Also not clear what the VIP is in this case -- it says diamond circle with catering, but is this sound check, or was there no sound check? Didn't see anything that indicated were the sections were, so couldn't tell where my seat would have been ( where was B1, row 1, seat 40?) was the floor only GA? Nothing clear. at all. Verdict: Glad this wasnt my only chance for a show, I'd be heartbroken.

I was lost, as well! Denny: on the eventtravel.com site is a front row package for vienna. and then it is front row for me and not early entry with standing ticket.
-

-

The actual packages for Vienna aren't yet up at the eventtravel page. Those are just placeholders. You can't click on them. Once they're live you can see the details of each package when you click on them. We'll have to be patient.
-
hmmm.....so then maybe I should have waiting for the eventravel package. you never know what do to:-(. I am not patient!!!! ok wait for another show and then look out for front row package.

A little frustrating that the big thing that was promoted was going in through the website, and yet those who found their way most easily seem to have done so through Facebook or Twitter. I tweet all of the time, had I known, and had I known that the website wasnt going to have a link to the real VIPtickets, I might have just gone to event travel after my purchase failed to produce the seats I'd hoped for. Or monitored Twitter in the first place. Instead was refreshing the website for 20 minutes. Also was truly confusing that they have two things called "VIP". Ah, well, hoping for other dates, may still cave and go for VIP for Vienna. Tho, no idea when that will be up, and if it's GA or not. The constant uncertainty has lost it's charms for me, I confess. Well, should try to sleep it's 2:30am here. Good luck to all in their future purchase attempts. I'll know to closely monitor Twitter in future, tho for Vancouver it was posted there late -- at least I know where to locate the purchase code if trying for a webiste purchase. Always issues with new procedures, I guess, but the map thing was a real issue for me... you have to know what you are buying at the higher prices when it's out of the country and you can't resale easily.

I think you'll find potential buyers for your Golden Circle ticket later on if you chose to sell it and go for the soundcheck ticket instead.

There is no longer any preferential period pre-sale for Premium Members. The Premium Membership scheme has ended There is only one fan-club pre-sale offered to anyone registered on the main site for newsletters, updates etc. There was a good period of notice of the pre-sale start date and time in the news blog - at least 12 hours or more. I received an e-mail alert of the pre-sale start date and time yesterday - to the e-mail address I had to use to enter the pre-sale process. Martin

but there was one hour for registered fans with a code. now you can order tickets without the code as far as I know.
-
I see what you mean. Maybe the new system was confounding too many? Simple is always the best. Martin

That's interesting Martin, because I have been registered forever here, and I re-registered in February, and did not receive an email at all at my registered address, and not in my spam folder. I happen to find out about the shows through other channels. I would have liked to have known about this in advance to make arrangements to visit my homeland to see Paul.

It would be cool if we found out what the VIP packages are for Vienna. If they're the same as in Warsaw - which seems very likely - I'll probably be going there (travel there is easier and cheaper for me). How long do you guys think those packages will be available?

Warsaw seems to be all seater floor. So Vienna must be General Admission - with VIP gaining early admission to be on the rail. So slightly different experiences.... Vienna Hot Sound package on sale now - and this is the specific description posted; Paul McCartney HOT SOUND PACKAGE includes: General Admission Standing Ticket with Early Entry Invitation to soundcheck Paul McCartney Merchandise item Collectible laminate Onsite event management staff PRICE ?499 / £449 / $724 per person including taxes Martin
-
Yeah, I just saw that and came here to post about it.
It'll probably be Vienna for me, then.
-
As Vienna is somewhere I have not visited before, thought I would take the plunge and have managed to get a ticket in Block A2 reserved seat for around £70, just gotta find a cheap flight/hotel deal now!!
-
If you're okay with hostels, I'd recommend A & O Hostels. It's a chain with quite cheap prices. I've stayed at the one in Cologne when I went to see Paul there 2 years ago.
-
oh my god. wish I waited 2 hours and buy the hot package. now I contemplate that and have to sell my ticket then.-(
