Just pulled Field 5, Row 24 and will now release it. Somebody please grab it! This was in the fan club pre-sale! Before I pulled it, it listed $125 and then $255 but said none available. I tried 1 ticket about 3 times and that came up. I have mine already but please keep trying if you want floor seats. They are still there and good ones!

Had trouble getting access to the site on my laptop, but was able to order the tickets on my iPhone luckily...In Section 132...good enough for me!

Congrats! This is going to be such a great show! I noticed that the seating chart on stubhub (I know I can't post the link) shows the stage as coming out in an oval shape in the center. That's definitely different than the flat stage Paul had before! So excited for all of these potential changes!!

My triplets became increasingly concerned that there is no Philly rumor and thus far, no announcement for New York. The pleading commenced yesterday after school and carried on through this morning's school drop-off time! I am very happy to report that we will see everyone in D.C.!!! Many thanks to the powers that be for making sure that Paul's fans have access to pre-sales and most importantly to our family, with a ticket limit of FOUR rather than two. Triplets LOVE Paul!!!

Excellent! Where will you all be sitting?

Like everyone else I kept getting the Service Unavailable option. After about an hour finally got the three tickets I needed for my friends and mom. They're all sitting all over the place but they're in the building. D I was able to get myself sec 4 row 5 through the VIP. Super excited!!!! And so glad I was able to take today off because I may have been fired with all of my frustration levels screaming at the computer!!!!

I know what you mean! At least it looks like a good number of us got the tickets we were looking for! Now it's time to wait ... just over 3 months to go!!

Just got my friend a ticket in Floor 3, Row 27 and she's delighted. This was in the fan club presale and I just purchased it so there are still good floor seats out there!
-
Awesome! Just wanted to let you guys know that if you look up pictures of the Billy Joel/Elton John show at Nationals Park, you can see some really good views of what it looks like the floor seating will look like. Here's one particularly good one I found: http://www.scottbradford.us/files/2009/07/bjej-park3.jpg

http//washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ticketing/seats_3d.jsp Don't know if this will help anyone, but found this 3D seat guide on the ballpark's website. Kind of gives you an idea as to where your seats will be located.

Okay, grandmom was not so successful today. She was having internet difficulties...don't know if it was her or the computer but I got home... AND SCORED TENTH ROW TIX!!! I couldn't get anything to come up for soundcheck. Found that bizarre, but maybe they're already gone? The fanclub presale gave me nothing. So I went directly to National's Park website, went for the gold tickets (since soundcheck came back negative) and got right hrough! Section 5 Row 10 Seats 17 & 18...who's gonna be nearby? I'll be right in front of Wix!!! Maybe he'll finally see my "Wix Rocks!" sign! Oh yeah and...I'LL BE TEN ROWS FROM PAUL! ...so who else is going???

I'm in there somewhere! I was section 6 at that concert, kinda far back. Does anyone know which direction the seat numbers run? I don't remember.

Started at 9 a.m. sharp, and it took me 9 minutes just to get past all the "service unavailable "screens. $155 was the best available when I finally got through. I got two aisle tickets for field 13, started loading the payment information and then... my browser crashed. Next came the scream heard around the world. It took 7-8 hectic minutes to get past another series of "service unavailable" screens. The two best available were suddenly in the 200s sections. I added them to my cart so as not to get shut out. Then, to my great surprise, the field tickets were still there, and the 200s said "no longer available." Fine by me, I have the field tickets that I really wanted. For grins and giggles, I checked the VIP packages, and found that the best "silver" package for $440 each were only three rows in front of me. I wish I could swing the gold packages, but I have to be content with where I am. The funny thing is in 2005, I was able to get 5th row dead center floor the day of the show for $250. Today, that same seat costs $1,500. Ouch.

Whoo hoo! I got tickets in section 136! I was debating even if I was going to go up till this morning (will be a 6 hour trip.) I think I made the right decision. I won't be on the floor but I will be pretty close to the stage and not too high up! Soo Excited1 :0)[/list]

Same here... section 136! I'm pretty happy, even though I'm further back in the section than I cared to be. Still, just happy to have gotten tickets and since I couldn't afford to swing for floor seats, I don't think I was going to do much better!

WOOO!!! Joemcook, you were right! Amex presale came through for me! I was in the waiting room getting frustrated, but then I decided to try it out on Internet Explorer and I got right through! My boy and I have seats 13 and 14 in Floor Section 2, row 17!! Typically I don't like being to the side of the stage like that, but I didn't want to risk losing those seats (I pulled two more and got row 30), so I went for it! This is the closest I've ever been to Paul!! YAY!! BTW, in case anyone was wondering about fees: Tickets were $255 base, $293 with fees. And they're electronic, so you can print them out immediately! WOOO!!!!
Told ya so! LOL... Congrats! Glad everything worked out

yeah i am in the double S, but like you said I am just thrilled to get tickets! I almost didn't get tickets the first time I saw him, so far this has been less stressful. Now I just have to stress about actually receiving the tickets and getting to DC

Yeah, I hear ya! Double N, myself. And then, a while after I bought them, Double D opened up... but that's how the game goes... we all know that! Last time I ordered via Crowdsurge, the tickets did indeed arrive in the mail so I think we'll be okay BTW, he's almost definitely going to play "Michelle" at this show, right? Last time in DC, did he drop another song in favor of "Michelle"? Just curious...
-
Oh I really hope he does play Michelle! I am starting to get excited and can't wait to see what the setlists are going to be leading up.
