Success -- I finally got in to the Crowdsurge fan site on the fifth try and scored four seats with good sightlines. We're up fairly high, but we're going to the second show -- and we didn't pay inflated scalper prices, either. I never WAS able to get back onto the Ticketmaster site. Total fail from their end. I cleared cookies, rebooted my machine, etc. Customer support email said I may have been blocked as a suspected scalper because I'd been on the page so constantly for two days trying (unsuccessfully) to get tix. IRONY! Thanks, everyone! Peace, Randy
Congrats on your tickets, Randy. It's tough and frustrating but I'm glad you got some. I'm not going to the Edmonton show but when I checked on the crowdsurge page a few mins ago there was still some tickets available there for anyone who does not have them yet! Ticketmaster tickets appear to be all sold out already!
Yes! Good job Randy!
Unless you want to splurge on the VIP, there's stuff still coming up at the $450+ price level. I'd consider it cheap seeing what the scaplers are trying to do.
I still don't know what the hell is going on there... geeze.
-
Randy, Just a quick question: How many tickets were you trying for? edit: Oh, I just saw you were looking for 4 in a row... I've always found the more you try in the same seating together in a row or something, the exponentially harder it is to get those tickets. It sucks though, eh?
-
Yeah, I was looking for four in any section at any price. Yesterday and this morning on Ticketmaster, I even scaled it back to two seats with no luck. Thank goodness for the fan club sales.
-
Yeah, Randy, it's harder when you need that many in a row. I'm glad you did it this time, though, otherwise I was going to recommend a 2 and 2 split or something. I know it sounds crappy, but sometimes it's the only way.
But, I'm happy you scored on the fan ticket sale.
Way to go!

Just a random thought... This may be the only time I actually get to meet hardcore Paul fans in Edmonton, so I'm going to suggest a meetup of some sort at a local place in town. This could be the night before, or the day of before the soundcheck or anything. I don't get to mix (at the soundcheck/reception) with the soundcheckers because I really couldn't put down the dough this time. I know, right? I've been waiting a long time for this and I just didn't have... *sigh* Anyways, enough about that, but just a thought.
Let me know.
This is for everyone soundcheck, VIP, regular seat, or random fan.

I was in charge of buying 2 tickets a few years ago. A friend was on the phone in another state to buy the other 2 tickets. There were 4 of us going. Even though we each got on TM immediately, we could not get two good tickets, so we ended up with 4 singles. Had a great time.

Awesome! Um, that's one other person.
I think there's two other peeps: One I've found through Twitter back in the day that turned out to be a major Paul fan and another one through the official site on a blog post here and is now a FB friend that would likely be very interested... So four people, not including myself.

That's cool! I'm going to see if he has kids' sizing. I wore a Youth medium Italia jersey this year for Eurocup, but it that way.
Or, adult T-Shirt with alterations! lol... I can't wait for the merch booth! I'm really excited!

So, the date is getting closer! All the time!
Anyone thinking about a meetup? So far, it's a friend from here - kind of (the premium section that I stumbled upon on a comment on a blog post) and a friend from Twitter that turned out to be just as much obsessed as I am! Let me know!

Here is a guide to the official goings on: http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_recreation/festivals_events/celebration-for-sir-paul-mccartney.aspx Paul should play more medium-sized cities. They really appreciate it.

Here's a story about a fan taking her daughters to see Paul McCartney in Edmonton. But there's more to it than that. For one of her daughters, who has sensory processing disorder, seeing Paul is a dream come true. Hope you like it. http://www.examiner.com/article/mom-s-present-for-special-needs-daughter-we-re-going-to-see-paul-mccartney

WOW!! I am really impressed! Sounds great!

These are shaping up to be the coldest dates Paul has ever played, with highs of 6 and 2 degrees F.
Anyone planning on waiting to see Paul arrive?

I would love to see that!
I've lived here my whole life. Well, my whole life being the ripe old age of 25... well, okay, the first 22 years was in a small town just outside of here, but whatever.
6 and 2 F... what's that?
He should be thrilled. There's suppose to be a snowfall warning as well.... 15 to 25cm (5 inches - approx. 10 inches (if it does 10 inches... almost a foot!))

Great article. I'm happy for them to get in on the second time around.
