I've gotten VIP tickets to Elton without getting a Verified Fan code so they appear to be separate things, but I don't know for sure how this one will be run.
Bob, do you have any idea?
Don't know for certain but I think if you've got the cash to pay for VIP, you're in - no codes or fan verification required. Also, I don't think the VIP tickets sell out quite as quickly as the standard ones.

Thanks, everyone, for the info! Sounds like Hot Sound is the way to go. Am I right that the sound check usually takes place at about 5 PM? Or is earlier?
Yes, 5 or 5:30, but you MUST arrive no later than 4 pm to get checked in. Bring ticket and I.D. (Name must match - in other words, the person who bought the tickets must be there) P.S. For Hot Sound, I have gotten either 3rd or 4th Row Center all 3 times.

Just a thought for any one considering shelling out big bucks for front row VIP or soundcheck tickets...You may want to find out if Paul is eliminating that small rising stage in front for this tour. In my opinion it's not worth paying that much even if you have the means if you are essentially 10 rows from the main stage in the first row.Of course if just being in for the soundcheck is your desire, go for it!

Good question, it doesn't specify on TM or on SLOTix.

Well for Verified Fan it is Ticketmaster: https://verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/paulmccartney
So...wouldn’t it probably be Ticketmaster for all? In all my Hot Sound and regular tickets with Macca since 2002, I have used TM. (Except 2017 which was AXS)

It is TM. I meant that SLOTix' site does not say anything about needing a Verified Fan code to purchase a package.

does anyone know if TM limits the VIP packages to UK residents? It says that they mail the ticket package "in advance" - and I live in Asia but want to go to a UK show

I think that everybody can have a vip package, i never buy one myself but it seems that they were a lot of foreigners in the first row seats reserved to those packages in the last concert where I went.

thanks. yeah, i was just wondering if they will not ship ticket packages outside of the UK for some reason...

Does anyone have recommendations on what to do if you want good seats but without soundcheck? Is it still worth getting VIP tickets?
-
So does anyone have any experience as to the position of seat a Hot Ticket package £300 for O2 gives you roughly please? Just says premium PL1 reserved seat.
I was lucky enough to get 12th row last time for non package prices so don’t know whether to chance that again or pay the extra.
I’m with the O2 unless I can be relatively near the front I’d rather not bother.

From my experience last time, was not able to select my seat with the U.K. Hot Sound. I was in the 5th row. And they did send my ticket package to me in the US. It came very near to the time I was leaving, tho, so was a bit nerve wracking.

VIP packages for Canada are gonna be through Ticketmaster and not through Event Travel, am I understanding right?
This means that if I'm not selected as a verified fan, I have to wait until the Friday 13 to get any kind of ticket.

Yes Event Travel is only for the UK. Canada will sell thru Ticketmaster. Don't know if VIP will require a VF code tho

It’s all done online. You print out a paper ticket. You receive the merchandise at the show. Well, at least thst’s how it is done in the U.S.
Looked again at the info and apparently they will be mailing out something:
“Ticket packs will always be sent out in advance, time permitting.”
It will be an ID card and itinerary.

Yes, get Hot Ticket Package! (This is called VIP Gold or Silver in the U.S.)

Click on the name of the package for more details.

Does anybody know how many tickets we will be able to buy in the pre-sales?
