      PAUL McCARTNEY ONE ON ONE First Ever Grand Rapids Appearance August 15 - Grand Rapids, MI - Van Andel Arena He's conquered some of the largest venues on the earth, set numerous records across the globe, cemented a singular position in music history, and now he sets his sights on Grand Rapids. Paul McCartney is set to make his first ever Grand Rapids appearance at Van Andel Arena this summer. McCartney brings his brand new 'One On One' Tour to West Michigan on Monday, August 15, 2016 at 8:00 PM. PRE SALE DETAILS: Pre-sale tickets for Paul's Grand Rapids concert will be available through Ticketmaster from 8am (local / 1pm BST) on Thursday 28th April. The password for this pre-sale will be: 1ON1WITHPAUL Monday August 15 - Grand Rapids, MI - Van Andel Arena (Pre-sale tickets on sale from 8am local) GET PRE-SALE TICKETS HERE! / PASSWORD: 1ON1WITHPAUL GET VIP TICKETS HERE! As with the launch of every new Paul McCartney tour, 'One On One' has unveiled a dazzling re-designed set, and dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul's entire career--as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle--and no shortage of surprises. Having opened April 13 to rave reviews, 'One On One' is the first new Paul McCartney tour since the juggernaut that was' Out There' came to its stunning conclusion on October 22, 2015 with Paul's first ever concert in Buffalo, NY. 'Out There's finale capped off an incredible 2015, in which the tour played 27 shows in 22 cities throughout the world, with highlights including Paul's historic debut in South Korea--where the crowd at Seoul Olympic Stadium's refusal to stop singing the refrain to 'Hey Jude' literally forced Paul to reprise the song in the first encore, playing that signature bassline live for the first time--three nights at the Tokyo Dome and one at Budokan, a sold out stand at Paris' majestic Stade de France, more than a dozen packed arena shows across the U.S., UK and Europe, and triumphant headlines at festivals such as Firefly, Roskilde, and Lollapalooza in Chicago--the latter a tour de force performance for a 100,000-strong crowd featuring a guest appearance from Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard on 'Get Back.' The Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show--and so much more: Nearly three hours worth of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music, dozens of songs that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. Paul and his band have played an unparalleled range of venues and locations: outside the Coliseum in Rome, Moscow's Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House, a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people, the last ever show at San Francisco's Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert 1966, and even one performance broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul's band of the last 10+ years - Paul "Wix" Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) - the show is never anything short of life-changing. The 'One On One' Tour features a brand new production, as always utilizing state of the art audio and video technology to ensure an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house. Employing massive screens, lasers, fireworks and, of course, a staggering selection of the best songs ever written or performed, every Paul McCartney show promises a once in a lifetime evening that transcends and elevates the potential of live music. Tickets will go on sale beginning Monday, May 2 at 10:00 AM and will be available for $29.50, $99, $168, and $253 at the Van Andel Arena and DeVos Place(R) box offices, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 1-800-745-3000.

        I'm very happy for the West side of State to finally host McCartney. If he didn't swing through Detrot last October I would totally drive 2.5hr west to see the show.

          I'm right between Detroit and Grand Rapids, and thinking of getting tickets for this show, even though I saw him in Detroit in October. I figure who knows if he'll be back in Michigan again with any tour, especially given what I hear about his vocal quality deteriorating. I love Paul, but hope he doesn't continue such a grueling tour schedule at the expense of his voice.

            The pre-sale code seems to be everywhere, including the announcement of when ticket sales are, and right on Paul's website. Is there a different pre-sale code for fan club members that I'm not finding?

                No. That is it. Just make sure you access the presale thru the links here on the site. If you go straight to TM, you won't be able to see the dropdown for it.

                  Yup. At least he will play that mega festival in California later this year. I'll watch that on Youtube for free!

                    I am so upset about this, I am crying. (Granted, I just had a parent go through major surgery and I can barely cope with it) Why would Paul play west Michigan? He must hate me

                      What? Fan club members get a special pre sale code? (sarcasm. this is something we wanted and never got before the club went bye bye )

                          Yep. I live in Detroit. Oh, it is such a tease. BLand Rapids is a nothing city. When I visited there, they rolled up the sidewalks at night

                            I would try to visit that city again because it's one neat city. If you are into beer that is; it's dubbed Beer City. Downtown Grand Rapids is BEAUTIFUL. It is a college town in a some what conservative area (most of West Michigan is). Like I said try it out again and then head down to Holland.

                              So, Paul McCartney hates you because he played your city, Detroit, last year, but this year is playing Grand Rapids instead, which is still in your state, and is only two hours away? Lord knows what it means that he has not stepped foot in my state in 23 years.

                                    I was only able to get upper bowl seating this morning, but am glad to be going at all, seeing all the problems people had with the pre-sale. I am in south central Michigan and think this part of the state is lovely, and am looking forward to visiting Grand Rapids.

                                        Geez, getting tickets is just getting to be impossible. Logged on way before the sale started and no tickets pretty much immediately. It was not this tough before. Hope you all had better luck. I mean, *someone* had to be able to get tickets, right??

                                          Yes, those of you who got tickets I applaud you because once again by 10:02 there was nothing available. Maybe I should say those of you who aren't ticket brokers I applaud you.

                                            That's insane!! Perhaps Crowdsurge was better than I previously thought. The Detroit presales via Crowdsurge got me the qty and price point I wanted both times. The people near GR deserve a more fair chance than this for the primary market sale.
