Paul at Yankee Stadium July 15, 2011!!!! - ARCHIVE

Has anyone who bought tickets through CrowdSurge gotten any notification that the tickets have shipped? Since we're just about 2 weeks from the show, they should be shipping any day now, right?
-
Just got an email saying that my CrowdSurge tickets were shipped!

Really appreciate the help, Train it is .......One small query, having used the subway only once last year. Where do i purcahse a "Metrocard" from and would I need one each for us? and as an estimate how much would you reccomend i put on it for a return journey to the stadium from grand central....apologies for the dumb questions, but We're from South Wales and our only transport as far as trains are concerned require buying an individual ticket that takes you one way and back, there is no swiping it in a booth and credit needed for it like the tubes in London!!!! sorry!!!!!
You can buy a Metrocard at the machines located in every subway station. There is a flat fare of $2.25 (I think that's what it is now ... they've been increasing it recently) regardless of how far you travel. My biggest suggestion to you would be to buy a Metrocard with enough money on it for both ways before you leave for the stadium. After the concert, there is going to be a huge line at the subway station to get Metrocards, and you'll want to avoid that! Good luck!

And btw it's Rockefeller Center. You won't find Rockerfella Plaza on the map.

Yes, me too. Just got the email saying my ticket are going out today, July 1 and the Fed Express tracking number. I tried tracking them but FedEX does not recognize the number yet...sometimes takes a day. Does FedEx deliver on Saturdays? With the holiday Monday, I really do not expect to receive them until Tuesday, but sure happy to hear they are going out today!! This delivery stuff makes me nervous as I had a problem with delivery of tickets once before. Yeah, Paul in two weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! FedEx usually delivers on Saturdays. If you're worried about FedEx not delivering them (I don't know if they're going to need a signature), you might want to call them. If they leave a slip saying that they needed a signature, you can usually sign the back of the slip if you won't be home when they try again. You can also typically schedule a delivery, but they won't let you schedule a specific time ... it's usually just a time period in which they'll come.

Same here!

FedEx will only deliver on Saturdays, if the shipper paid an additional fee for Saturday Delivery. I doubt CrowdSurge did, since it's like twice as expensive as regular M-F delivery. I wouldn't expect the tickets to arrive until Tuesday at the earliest, since Monday is a holiday.

You can also take the "D" train which is express as well. Also, it is right by Rockerfeller Center so no walking if you are staying right there.

July 15th is getting close..., just not close enough!! New Tour, New Songs!

I don't think Paul ever kicked off a tour in New York before...and if I remember corrctly the Beatles never began one in the U.S. either. The anticipation will be "off the scale", Phil.
-
Didn't the Beatles' 1965 US tour start in NYC at Shea Stadium?

Yes, the U.S. leg began at Shea, however the '65 tour had dates in Europe prior to that.
-
DrivinFan I didn't know that. He loves playing in NY so let's hope fpr something special!
-
There's no doubt...this will be an amazing show!!
-
I can't stop thinking about the show!!
I can't wait! I just want next week to come already! I can't even wait to board the plane to NYC haha
This whole trip is going to be magical!
-
cpaige has it right...the subway is fairly easy to navigate, but be sure to read all service bulletins posted in the station, and make sure you have enough on the card ($4.50 uptown and back) for the entire trip...you do not want to be trying to get the fare after the show also, carry enough cash to purchase a metrocard, as there are occasional credit / debit outages

wow... this is kinda exciting... depending on what new songs Paul may or may not decide to pull out for this tour, we have the chance to see him play some stuff for the VERY FIRST TIME!!!

I guess we are all excited!! The anticipation is killing me. I expect to receive my tickets from Fed Express today and once I have them inhand will feel even more excited. Yes, JOE, the prospect of new songs is really exciting. I also think that being in New York for the opening of the new tour and playing at Yankee Stadium for the first time, is probably exciting for Paul, too! He seems to love New York and I have seen him on tv attending a Yankee Game, as well. There is always an extra excitement surrounding opening night of a new tour. Once a tour starts, there is not the element of surprise for the setlist but opening night...you never know!! If we get three or four new songs along with the typical warhorses, I will be happy. Now...good weather!
