Brooklyn, NY, Barclays Center, June 8th - ARCHIVE

Barclays is small. Thats going to be a tough ticket.

Holly Days:
About time!!! And thanks so much for the presale info - am expecting a presale email directly from Barclays Center as well. Already stressed re tomorrrow's mayhem!
At least there are no other shows going on sale at the same time. That is what really mucked things up at the web site presales this month.

You're not kidding...35-36K seats up for grabs between the two shows: yoiks. Re the PMcC.com presale, can anyone tell me have tickets at all price levels been available? I can't spend VIP package money but definitely plan to go for the $280s.

Yes, all levels are available.

Can someone tell me how the fan presale works for tomorrow? Do we just have to give our registered email with the order or do we have to sign in ahead of time somehow?.

Some helpful reminders from the ever helpful Martin:
For future pre-sales the process remains: Ensure you have signed up to newletters here: http://www.paulmccartney.com/component/signup/?view=signup If you are getting occasional e-mails from Paul that is the e-mail address to use. Registration at this message board is not required for these sales. When a pre-sale is launched follow the specific links from the main site news blog items or the tour pages here; http://www.paulmccartney.com/live You will be asked to enter that e-mail address to proceed to the pre-sale ticket site. This process only applies to ticket bought through the main site links. None of the specific main site fan pre-sales can be accessed through links from other sites or ticketing agencies - such as American Express pre-sales or venue pre-sales they have different sites, passwords etc none of which are officially promoted through www.paulmccartney.com I hope this helps.

That helps. Thanks. I'm registered and have an AMEX card so if I miss out in the first fan presale I can do the ticketmaster one. I'm also going for VIP which don't always sell out as quickly because of the high price. Hoping that will help because with such a small venue this won't be an easy ticket to get.

Ticketmaster pages are live. They currently list 2 prices. $69.50 ($83.10 after fees) and $304.50 ($349.40 after fees). I would think floor seats will be $304 and there might be another price tier for the first level of seats above the floor, with $69.50 being the upper level seats.

I hate how they never release the prices for VIP seating ahead of time. I can guess what each level will be, based in the pricing for shows in other cities, but it would still be nice to know for sure so I can make a decision ahead if time and not run the risk of losing better seats because I'm looking at the prices.

I would bet the whole place is $304.50 and the nosebleeds are the cheap $69.50. What a lot of people don't realise is a lot of the floor is gold $650 and a lot of the lower level is silver $450.

Good point. In a venue that small I'm ok with "nosebleeds"

VIP doesnt sell out fast at all. NYC might be a little faster, but you should be fine. Good luck on getting those great tickets!

18,000 isnt all that small. MSG was 18,500 before its new remodel. Scottrade in St. Louis was 21,500 and was great upfront, not sure how great in the upperdecks. Arenas are a lot better than Stadiums. With stadiums you really need a decent field ticket, otherwise its like you are watching other people at their concert.

Thanks!! I always go for VIP just because they don't sell out like the regular tickets. It's worth the extra money for the reduced stress lol

There are 4 or 5 price levels for other concerts there, so I would expect this will be the same.

This isn't any ol concert. There may be a fewdifferent prices for nosebleeds like the Stones.

It is in a city of 8 million people!
I know what you're saying - not everyone in NYC will care about attending - but it's obviously going to sell out pretty quickly. And $350 is it now?! I can't complain as I've spent that much on others lately but still....
Yowza.

I think part of this decision may also be because of the fact that Paul has done several shows in NY over the last three years, where as other cities (like Orland) haven't had a show for a while. Because the price of his tickets are so high, demand is not going to be as much at this point in NY outside of the mroe hard core fans. I've already seen Paul three times, but I'm changing vacation plans just to go to this concert. I'm hoping to make a sign and get lucky enough to have Paul sign my Let It Be tattoo. I know it has happened before to others, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Yeah, I was just responding to the notion that there would be only two price levels.

Not so sure about that, Janine....this *is* NYC, there are a lot of people with disposable income who have no problem with dropping that kind of money even casually: the Stones proved that. There wasn't an empty seat in the Barclays Center and while everyone clearly didn't pay the $800+ being asked for in most cases, only 150 or so out of 18000 got in the door for less than $250 a ticket. Those weren't Stones "die hards" either; just a lot of folks with extra cash who like the Stones. I'd venture to guess there are even more folks with extra cash who like the Beatles and/or McCartney casually... Shows are just expensive period but it's not stopping anyone here from going that I can tell - I know it hasn't stopped me yet even though it should've! To be fair I suppose, these shows *should* cost more as it's a much more "intimate" setting - while I had a great time at both Yankee Stadium and CitiField, I'd always prefer seeing him in an arena.
