Thanks! Tried both presales with no luck... Nothing for about 15 minutes this morning and then exactly what I was hoping for came up! I was starting to believe that Ticketmaster wasn't going to offer any lawn at all! Just wanted to get through the gate as cheap as possible this time around and am very pleased! As it happens, we were going to be in the Chicago area right around that time and so I got really excited when I saw this show announced! But after two failed presales, I thought I'd have no chance in the general sale... go figure!!

Hello everyone! Not sure if there are any folks out there that were hoping to go to the summerfest show but were unable to get tickets. If there are, and you're open to attending the Minneapolis show instead, please let me know. I have killer seats on the floor (6th row almost center) that I am needing to part with...just asking what I paid for them, which was $281 apiece! Please let me know if you're interested - thanks!

Less than a week now; I hope everyone is getting excited!

Forecast is for low 80's and mostly sunny. That sounds much better than 2013! Ingress/egress at the Marcus can be a headache and with the construction give yourself extra time! And for those who like to have a few...Facilities are VERY limited inside the Marcus so plan accordingly. Summerfest, Cinci and Philly next week!

The facilities are all the way at the back but they are "proper" facilities as I remember it.
But yes, getting out of there after shows can take a while because Marcus people are leaving when everyone else in the park is leaving, too.

Can't make the show at Summerfest on Friday. If anyone wants two tickets in Section 4, send me an email: SummerfestTickets@gmail.com Only looking for $250/ticket (less than face value).

It's tomorrow!
I'll be driving up from Chicago, hoping to leave about 1pm. I'm going to try to find a place to watch for the limo, but it's really hard to tell there where a good place might be. I was planning to wear jeans, but I think I'll be changing that to shorts. Seems like it'll probably be pretty warm.

What time should I be there if I want to attempt and catch the limo? Also, we've got general admission seats and I want to get the best spot possible. Anyone have any strategies for the Marcus???

I think in Toronto I was out there at about 4pm, and he didn't come until around 6! I'm hoping to get to my hotel about 3pm, so I guess I'm aiming for 3:30-4 to get over to the grounds. I've got a guess on where to try to go to see the limo, but it's really just a guess. I think it's outside the Summerfest gates, so I think I'm going to wander around a little outside before I go in so that I don't have to fool with getting a wristband for re-admission. For the first time I'm making a sign. It's very slow-going!
I think I'm about half done. I have no idea about the lawn seats, sorry. I've never been to Marcus before.

Hope everyone has a great time tonight. Can't wait to read reports and see pictures. Unfortunately won't be able to watch any scopes or read reports as they happen...going to see the band Boston tonight in concert but will check as soon as I get home. Have fun!!!!!

Seems like the full set was done: "Expecting McCartney might stick to the set he played at his previous show - June 30 in Belgium - there were a few pleasant surprises. Though he did in fact perform all 31 of the songs he played that night in Europe, he slotted in even more, including "Here, There and Everywhere," "And I Love Her," "Yesterday" and "The Fool on the Hill." Most enjoyable of all for this long-time fan was hearing him play "You Won't See Me" from "Rubber Soul," a record that's been getting excessive playing time in my car these past few months. But, really, there were no real low points, except perhaps a lumbering version of "Temporary Secretary" from 1980's "McCartney II," which did little to move the crowd, except downward off their feet and into their seats." http://mobile.onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/mccartneysf16.html

Yeah, I've never been a fan of Temporary Secretary and I can see it not being a crowd favourite. But, if the band enjoys it and it's a favourite for a few of the die hards then great. I remember him talking - on that Mastertapes thing, I think - about doing deep cuts and new songs on tour and it being quite disheartening when all the phone lights that'd be up for the hits would just all blink out suddenly. Like nobody cares.
