I'm sort of thinking of going there. Does anyone know anything about prices?
According to local newspapers: 78€ GA, 130€ Pit Area and 220€ seats, taxes not included. No confirmation yet.
Expected 20.00 to 25.000 people.
Devil, you're right

Do they deliver the Hot Ticket Packages at home? I'm moving out, so I'm not sure which home address to include.
Looks like there is a standing pit in front of the stage for this show. Here's info on the VIP packages:

Normally they give you the merchandise items at the concert when you buy the soundcheck packages.
What about this one? It doesn't include soundcheck, so do you think it will be just a general admission with an early entry? https://www.eventtravel.com/paul-mccartney-hotticket-standing-naples

What does everyone think about the value of getting the "Early Entry" tickets? They are roughly 2-3 times the cost of the EUR120 tickets. Does anyone have any experience with them in the past - how much closer will you get compared to "Normal entry" tickets.
I won't go for the soundcheck tickets for the outdoor concerts - the reason being that I reckon you could hear the soundcheck from close to the venue in the case of an outdoor concert. But it is my plan to get souncheck tickets for the first time in 2020.
I may attend one of the Italy gigs alone - is there a good community on here where people can meet up before the show, etc?
Look forward to hearing from as many people as possible.

In Italy most of the shows are standing only. When Paul played in Bologna in 2011, I gained a 2nd row with only a GA ticket (60€). I had to queue outside for about 10 hours , but I saved 600+ euros. Naples in June will be hot, but not unlivable.
I don't think that the "early entry" tickets are worth the value. You can have a very good spot with the 120€ ticket.

I always buy early entry. I am too old for queuing for hours
you will end at 2nd or 3rd row, because the soundcheckers are in earlier than the early entriers.

When are the tickets going on sale? Are there going to be any other Italy locations, like the Lucca one mentioned ?
When I was in Naples in about 12 yrs ago...at that time, the local people gave me the impression that as a woman alone, they were worried that my purse could be stolen, when I put it on a countertop in a shop,while I was standing next to it. Are there still similar concerns in Naples? Just wondering?

Seems to be. Which would mean they would probably send the merchandise to you--maybe with your ticket. In the past when I have used Event Travel for seated VIP tickets, they have sent them out via overnight courier very close to the show date (because they were late getting their seating allotment). So you would have to make sure you give them a good address where it can be signed for.

Tickets are going on sale next friday at 10 a.m.
I live in North Italy and i often go to Naples because i love it and its people . Naples is as dangerous as all the other cities in the world. Everywhere nowadays you have to look after your belongins.

has anyone for sure found out the GA/PIT is in front of the seats?

That's what I thought. The Italian people are great! As well as the food and the red wine too!

Regarding the TicketOne website: is there an option for e-tickets or do they only send by mail?
-
I bought my ticket for Naples by Virgin Radio. Is there anyone who have bought with promo FRESHENUPNAPOLI ?
-
TicketOne is charging the following pre-sale fees for the concert in Napoli:
-
Tribune (Intero Presale FC) - € 220.00 + € 33.00
-
Pit Area (Intero Presale FC) - € 130.00 + € 19.50
-
Posto In Piedi (Intero Presale FC) - € 78.00 + € 11.70****
The service fee costs € 9.12**** per ticket.
There is also a shipping charge to send the tickets by mail. No option was shown to either collect them at the venue or print them at home. Did anyone have a different experience?

I got a Hot Ticket Standing. Looks like there is a special area right next to the PIT Area (side section) and not in front of the stage. That would be very disappointing.
-
I almost bought a Pit Area ticket just now but the price kept going up and up. No e-ticket and they demand 19,99 € for mailing it, so all in all it would cost almost 180 €. That's not a price I'm willing to pay for such a standing ticket.
I was really tempted, it's a beautiful venue.

Using the FRESHENUPNAPOLI code, I got a Hot Ticket Pit Area from ticketone.it. No e-ticket available and no delivery options as well. Nothing but collecting at the venue. Probably because it's a VIP package? Usually with ticketone you are able to chose, but the deliver has an extra cost, the e-ticket a €1-€3 surcharge, while the collect at the venue has no fees at all.

No, I didn't get an e-ticket option either. Only delivery by mail which would have cost 20 € extra.

General sales now available for the concert in Napoli.
Even though it's no longer a pre-sale, they're still charging the pre-sale fee.
Is this standard procedure for concerts in Italy or is it a mistake?

According to this news report, tickets for Paul's concert in Naples are being purchased in highest quantities by fans from the USA, followed by the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy.
It also mentions that the Italian promoter worked for 5 years in order to secure Paul's appearance in Lucca, and Paul insisted on playing in Naples as well.
