Wow, that was not a fun pre-sale. And, the complete side of the stage, section 8 tickets, usually obstructed view for every other show I've seen at Marcus, is still $286. WOW!
Did you get a ticket? Apparently entire allotment sold out within 10 minutes. I didn't care for what I pulled up so I will have to wait for next sale.
I did, section 6. But it took 24 minutes to finally pull that one up. The rest were corners for just under $300. That's absurd!
Was it row S? That is what I threw back.
No, row B

Have been hearing from Chicago friends they had no luck with pre-sale either. Never been to Summerfest but amphitheater looks like a great venue. The shape makes it look like it'll be a bit more intimate (as intimate as a crowd of thousands can be Razz ). More importantly - it looks like there's a slop in the lower seating which should give my fellow shorties a better view from the floor, as opposed to the flat arena floor.

The venue is intimate and did seem really highly sloped to me when I was there last year. I was in the lower red section and could not understand how lawn seating people could even see.

Hot Sound tickets are available NOW.

I have tried since 10:00 CST on Monday to purchase tickets for the Milwaukee presale,using the 1on1withpaul password. No go. Very frustrating. I've also tried calling Ticketmaster. Also frustrating. Long waits, and automated answers. Yikes. I'm beginning to think that fans are not allowed to purchase tickets. Does anyone know how to go about getting the Milwaukee presale tickets? Thank you!

Sent you a PM

Try to keep calm and remember that ticketmaster is a (authorized) SCAM! I've come to believe that these presales are what they use to dump most of the mediocre seats for venues. If you've followed some of the other "city" threads, you might have noted that KILLER seats popped up this week for Portland (rows 4-6) and Vancouver (5th row center) just days before the show. When I saw Paul two years ago, I was able to get a single 3rd row seat for two of his shows within the final two weeks prior to the show... I recognize that probably isn't much comfort to you right now - sorry! - because you want to get tix and know you're in, but patience often pays off. It's a bit risky, but it may be worth it. I'm going to Seattle on Sunday and have a mediocre seat, but since I'm going solo, I keep checking ticketmaster for a really good seat. This morning, one could buy FOUR floor tickets about 20 rows back (still not good enough to tempt me). Just remember that seats are OFTEN becoming available and that a "sellout" on day one - which undoubtedly will be announced - still doesn't mean that a bunch of good seats won't likely pop up in the runup to the show.

I heard an interview with a Summerfest official today on WTMJ radio and he said they had been trying for years to book Paul.
Here is link to interview: http://www.wtmj.com/shows/wisconsins-afternoon-news/paul-mccartney-is-coming-to-summerfest

Eric helpfully pointed out that the link from Paul's web site is currently good only for the fan presale option. Open TM separately to pull up the Amex sale options.

just got a pair in Section 12 bleachers to come up using the code
-
There is currently high traffic and demand on Ticketmaster.com for Paul McCartney tickets. Please try refreshing your brower. The code ONEONONE is correct for this pre-sale and tickets are still available at this time but will move quickly.
-
singles in the Yellow section are coming up. and pairs in the bleachers, still.
-
Some people are getting tickets Phone app was working better than computers I was offered bleacher seats a couple of times
-
It was a problem with google chrome for many people. I never saw lawn seats come up even though I selected lawn only it kept offering bleachers Wonder if ANYBODY got lawn?

that would be FINE if they NEVER offered lawn/cheap for presale but they never say...and people hurting for money get hopes up/waste time. I would not sit on lawn but this non disclosure is maddenning

This I have not heard before. I very much appreciate your advice. It's likely that when I try for tix during the general sale on Friday I will again turn off my computer in frustration. It's nice to know that there may still be a way to get tickets as the concert draws nearer. It's disconcerting that this method of purchasing tickets has become the norm for maaca's concerts. It is a real pity for his loyal base. Thank you again for reaching out to me.
