Paul at Yankee Stadium July 15, 2011!!!! - ARCHIVE
-
This is all so exciting!! As an impoverished student, I have been dropping hints to my parents (who live in NYC) that seeing Paul at Yankee Stadium would be an excellent family activity.
However, I live in Chicago, so I'm faced with a dilemma: Do I use some of my hard-earned money to buy a New York ticket (assuming the parents don't come through), only to sell it if he announces a Chicago show? Or do I wait to see if a Chicago show materializes, and risk not getting a New York ticket? What would you all do? And does anyone know if the rumors about the Chicago show are strong enough at this point to be considered almost fact?

Nobody knows, the only certainties are officially announced and confirmed concerts. You are not alone with this dilemma, there are many fans considering the exact same problem and there are no absolute answers. One thing worth throwing into the mix though is that time and again, extra seats have become available closer to show dates, long after the first sale of tickets have been announced as sold out. So there remains a reasonble opportunity to let this first sale for NYC pass to wait further dates and venue announcements and still secure a first hand ticket closer to the show date if nothing is announced. (Not guaranteed, of course.) Ideally parents will fund Yankee tickets and travel and then it's problem solved - after all they'd have the bonus of a visit from you - and who could turn that chance up?

I was actually supposed to be out of town that weekend, but my trip got cancelled a couple of weeks ago. I was very disappointed when it got cancelled, but now I'm happy. I'd rather have a chance to see Paul! (Of course, if I can't get tickets to see Paul, I'll have TWO things to be disappointed about, but I'll try not to think about that)

coming up:
Chairs on the field????? oh nooooooo!!!!! that's a no no. The field has to be GA.......this is not a broadway show........get rid of the seats right now!!!!
Watch the DVD Good Evening New York City... Same city, same audience, same seating arrangements. Just watch how thoroughly miserable the fans are throughout. Paul best live concert DVD release ever - fantastic show, fantastic atmosphere. If this show can just scratch the surface of those nights.... pure gold. Martin

Hi, I'm new to the board but had a question about the time of the concert. Ticketmaster lists the time of the show being 4 PM on July 15th...is that a typo of some sort? Seems really early for a concert to start on a Friday
Time sounds right. They'll have an opening act like at CitiField.
Ok, so any idea at what time Paul would come on based on past shows? Sorry to be a pain, never seen him before and just trying to determine if I can make the show on a Friday.

My guess - 4PM is probably when the gates open. Opening band 6:30ish. Macca around 8.

Glad he is finally playing the only ballpark that matters in the USA.
He played Dodger Stadium in '66 already.
The only Dodger ballpark that mattered was Ebbets Field -ha ha. Actually, I have been to Dodger Stadium a couple of times and thought it was really nice although I have not been there in 20 years.

Get over it Yankee fans. It's not even the same park from even 4 years ago.
Cmon, just having a little fun. Actually, my "dig" was intended for a couple of friends on this board who are Sox fans. If you have been to the "new" Yankee Stadium, they really did their best to give it the "look" of the original in a modern way. Also, Yanks have already won a World Championship there so it has been "christened" in a way.

Would be cool if McCartney walked on stage wearing a Yankee shirt -IMO
