Does anyone know if the row count starts over in each section? If I'm section B row 20 am I row 20 in that section or row 20 overall? Thanks!

Ugh. Everything was gone. Never used Surge crowd before, so took me a second, but did not enjoy the experience. When you select a section they are apparently not offering tickets for, there's no response. I finally clicked on one that was sold out and got the zero ticket message. I downgraded to section B and got two, not even together. This is my husband's first concert. I'm a sad puppy. I mean, I'm going to see Paul, so I'm ecstatic! But I so wanted amazing seats for my man. B3, Rows 19&20, both seats 56 (that's something) Maybe the person next to the Row 20 seat will trade.
I know! frustrating isn't it. I know, not what you were hoping for but glad you got through and got the tickets! I had a lot of trouble even getting the page to load at first. I think considering the venue has 60,000 seats you did really well!! You'll be able to see fairly well I think where you are. I am so glad I checked here to see if there was a member pre-sale because otherwise I would have thought it was tomorrow for LiveNation Presale. I know there's going to be a lot of frustrated people when they see how many tickets have already been sold. I also saw quite a few tickets for sale at $1000 plus at other ticket seller websites and so I'm thinking some people were buying in bulk just to re-sell which I always hate to see! It should be for fans not for people looking to make a profit

I may be the only person in the world that's happy with the cheap tickets. I made a profile for me, and another for my mom. Managed to book 8 tickets in a row under the two orders...I just had to be tricky about using the computer and ipad at the same time, and searching particular sections. I had to go a little higher up in the arena (section 414) but my family is super happy and Paul will have big TV screens anyways. And my Dad likes to use his binoculars

I don't know the answer to your question but i found a photo of a previous concert at the same venue, with the seating setup, if you want me to send it to you? I guess you could see if you can count the rows maybe? Can I do that in private message? or ? edit: here is the link where I found the image http://www.flickr.com/photos/_krista/2993226724/

I agree. Everything they do to stop the mass buyers and they still manage it. Sad. On the plus side I just called the hubby and he's jazzed that I got some, so that makes me happy. OMG... going to see Paul!!!!!!

How crazy was this experience? OMG, talk about heart stopping! One link went to Ticketmaster which was open to the public and the other link went to CrowdSurge. I thought the link to VIP was only for club members but a friend got on just going to Ticketmaster...strange. Maybe VIP was open for the general public but I thought it was a club pre-sale? CrowdSurge was giving me a blank screen, no response, or 0 tickets available even when I chose a single seat. Even with having my hours reduced at my job in July, I bit the bullet and bought myself a VIP seat - gonna be very tight for me financially but just had to get an incredible seat for this show!!! Very EXCITED!!!

Actually considering you were looking to get 8 tickets total, you did pretty well even though yeah it's a little higher up. It would have cost you a ton of cash if you bought those tickets at the higher cost! Congrats for getting the tickets!! whew!

Which tickets did you end up getting? And yeah, I was getting the same thing too with crowdsurge on one of my browsers, it would not load at all. The VIP hot tickets at ticketmaster were open to the public for anyone to purchase. Those are the ones called Hot tickets, etc.

Abbeycat, do you know if the VIP tickets opened today 10 AM local time or was it earlier?

Hi patrice, As far as I can tell, yes the VIP tickets started selling today at 10 am local time. Those are the tickets that included special benefits along with the ticket itself.

I'd say use this as a general guide but each concert is set up different. Hopefully wherever you are, you can at least see pretty well. And yeah! you're going! I'm going! we're happy!

Yes VIP for Vancouver opened at 10am PDT. The link from paulmccartney.com was up about 9:55 but when you clicked on it & went to Ticketmaster that site said they weren't on sale yet.

regular Paul/crowdsurge....I was tempted to get VIP, but I am a big Lions fan and good chance they could be in Grey Cup that afternoon and soundcheck was around that time...It was ironic actually...last time I saw paul was in vegas in 2011 and my Bruins were playing in the Cup final (sorry canuck fans)...conflict happened that night too cuz of game and was barely on time for Pauls concert...game before he was at the Love performance and I missed part of that game!!!! too stressful!

VIP tickets are very expensive but if you can afford it, it would be cool to do. I'm not a sports game fan so I don't have to worry about that but yeah that would be stressful being at one event knowing you have to get going to another event on the same day!
