Paul McCartney 2012 Rumours

FrankieJ:
Thanks! What are the seats like for the actual gig for both packages? Which is best? Have you gone with other people? I'll be doing it alone.
I went solo, and had 3rd row center. It was about $400 to $500 cheaper to not do the first row package, and I had better seats (center) than the front row folks (off to the left of the stage).

^^^ That sounds exciting. Honestly, if those November US gigs were the last of the year then they'd be in December. There's no reason for Paul to have them in November instead of December unless he plans to have the usual UK xmas shows. And Paul has no reason to not continue his usual xmas UK show thing. I asked Brian last night about it on twitter and he said he doesn't know anything yet. So, we're probably not going to know any time too soon. Unless he's keeping a secret. How does that radio show know?
Lets hope the rumour bears fruit,i saw your tweet to Brian and as you say he was giving nothing away
. As i say lets hope the radio lead comes up trumps again.

Anybody have any news or rumors about the Christmas shows?
Well Welsh radio station Red Dragon have mentioned a possible Liverpool show and they were the first to get the heads up last year so heres hoping. Here the link showing that they correctly predicted last years show really early http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=82476&start=0
Thanks, hoping they are right again! Last year was great ,(could only make Manchester) would love to do it again! Great songs, great time of year!!

Unless you can get the front row seats next to the center section on the piano side (I think it's called the Hot sound Package) then the up front center section seats are better and cheaper.

I was puzzled by that statement, as well. I know that Stones tix can be pricey, but Macca is the king of the box office.

Nonsense Macca's prices are (though at the top end of the scale i'll grant you) very reasonable compared to the stones O2 gig while i've only seen the "bog standard" floor seats at £406 im aware of the £950 pit ticket don't forget that just the base price for the concert if they add a sound check option things could get a bit silly. I'll add this if Paul had announced those prices i rather suspect the outcry would be the same if not worse

Any of you rich Americans please lend me 25 grand. "I need em, man, I need em" http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/318509

£400 plus for a ticket is way off the scale to see any artist, don't the promoters know there's a recession?

From the info I can get the top 3 VIP hospitality Stones packages in NJ go from $1850.00 up to $2450.00. I was told there is no sound check and the best seats available ($2450.00) are in the center floor section rows 6 through 10. The 3 packages include food, beverages, and a private entrance. In the $1950.00 per ticket package the seats are located in the loge sections closest to the stage. In all 3 packages laminates and other gifts are included plus a ticket admitting you to some Stones exhibit I believe in New York.

Absolute ripoff! I hope Macca doesn't get any funny ideas about prices from these Stones gig. I'd say for the show we get Maccas normal prices are quite fine. That said, I remember when he announced his 2009 02 gig the prices were at £125. Thankfully, when he returned in 2011 it was at a more sensible price. Anyway, I'm desparet for news on potential gigs soon! The rumour about the liverpool show is encouraging, I just hope he announces a date in london.

I think Paul could tone prices back a little bit. THey have been slowly creeping upward since the mini-tours started. The top seat was $250 average (not talking packages) now it is more like $280 average. I mean, it is Paul and yeah, I'd probably a little more than that to see him at all but, there are very few others I can think of that charge over $200 for a regular ticket, no package. The Rolling Stones obviously, Elton John, The Eagles...
