I just looked at the prices and the Hot Sound Package (which does not include dinner like in the U.S,) is only $880!!!
Why do we get charged $1600 for the same thing plus a lousy meal?!
And Front row is only $1056 and here is $2100!
Because you guys happily pay for it, and Europeans don't :D. "Only 1056 dollars"... insane price for just some rock and roll.

I'm patiently waiting for the U.S. dates! I heard Paul wants to perform in cities he hasn't been to in a while, so I'm hoping he'll come to Denver! Anyone agree? Even if you don't live in Colorado, you should answer the poll!
Come to Pittsburgh Paul haha

It's means absolutely nothing, of course, but like I mentioned in the other thread that's going.... if they intend to drive all those trucks from Edmonton to Austin, the most direct route goes right through Denver.

What a lousy name for a tour. Febreze Over America would have been better.

Hope I’m not too late..boy do I need this. My life is a flipping soap opera lately, I need some rock and roll & some fun.

I didn’t “happily pay it!” But I know there are those who do, DOZENS of times. I did it “only” 3 times and the 3rd time only because he was playing 15 minutes drive from my house! (Never did 1st or 2nd Row, just Hot Sound Package and got 3rd Row once and 4th Row twice - all 3 times in center section) Also, I was financially able to do it. I still could now, but I will only go again if he comes to Atlanta and I will get Gold VIP. (Which here costs around $750 I think)

Or maybe Screw Over America (with high ticket prices). I cleaned that up for the censor Police.

ANY US rumors?? This is driving me crazy and feeling a little depressed over possibly not seeing him this year!!
I'm hoping that they're leaving an obvious gap from October 13th-December 12th as space for US dates (and maybe more European dates prior to the UK ones).
my understanding is that there is not a large gap at all. But I guess we'll see
Perhaps those previously rumored South America dates in October/November are to follow Austin and precede the UK?

Yes! My daughter lives there.
Pepsi Center is available Oct. 21-23

But will he get sued?

Hey, just to be fair.... we here in the USA, have had our unequal share of concerts....
I think europe/uk deserves these and many more dates....
now, quit fooling around Paul, get Back here in 2019

Agreed here too... we all love Paul and his music so it's only fair that others get a chance to see him in concert again!
Still not giving up hope however, that there may end up being a few (10 or less) shows in the US.. time will tell... but if we have to wait our turn until next year, that's ok too

ROTFLMAO!!

It’s too bad that when he was younger and could sing so well, he rarely toured. (I’m speaking about the U.S.: 1976, 1990, 1993) Then when he’s almost 60, he starts touring all the time!!

Nancy I think a big reason the USA gets so many more shows is because he can charge more and get it here, so why not play here as much as he does. That is obvious from a from a financial standpoint. We all spend money on whatever we choose to based on our own standards, that's everyones own choice. There is no wrong or right from an individual standpoint .I would rather pay cheaper prices of course, but he's getting the higher prices here. I never see empty seats in the front rows to the shows I've been to. When i look to purchase VIP seating for the majority of US shows they sell pretty fast. It is what it is.

I know, but that doesn’t make it fair. He doesn’t need the extra money, so why charge so much more here just because he can? The guy is a billionaire, ffs, and even his grandchildren will never want for a thing. Yes, “it is what it is” but I don’t have to like it. Just my 2 cents.
Btw, I just found out that Gold VIP was $850 in 2017!

No I don't think it's fair, and no you don't have to like it. Who wants to pay more, not me. just my opinion on why the higher prices are charged here.

Yes, that was my point, these ridiculous prices are being maintained by people who pay for it. We don't pay it, so they won't charge it. Regardless, it's still not fair.
Actually, until a few years ago no seats over here were blocked by champagne packages, front row Dublin '10 was regular price, available during the McCartney pre-sale... Cologne '11 first centre blocks same story, simply available through Eventim during regular sale.
