Paul, EDMONTON, AB Rexall Place, November 28th - ARCHIVE

We are a family of 6 so I will be looking to get 2 VIP tickets in pre sales today (in minutes! fingers crossed!!!) and then 4 'general' tickets together for the kids (this is a historic moment they all need to be at also!!!). Will that make me over the limit? Can I order VIP tickets and general tickets at the same time? I have a premium membership - does that help? Ahh - why didn't I ask this earlier? My stomach is in knots!!! I have never done pre sales before but have been going bonkers with the worry of not being at the Edmonton concert... Neglecting all other duties for days....
-
After reading all the posts about things not going as planned for the other presales I managed to grab my tickets with no issues...
-
Well that was a waste of time.. The only VIP tickets I could pull up were silvers 10 minutes after the sale started. Row 9 or something in section 112, way in the back. I was able to get row 2 in section 118 for the normal tickets but nothing on the floor. I have a feeling better tickets will be available tomorrow or Friday. I might end up just buying tickets off ebay at this rate though.

So you would rather pay a premium to be a few rows further up? You know scalpers will start at double the price if you go that route.. and your odds are greatly reduced when tickets go on sale later. I managed row 3 right near stage... so im good with them.

.. and there are 101 tickets on Stubhub already..

Yes, I'd like to be on the floor, preferrably in the first 10-15 rows. I figured I would be able to buy those tickets through a package, I guess not..

Tickets were on kijiji yesterday at double the price....

I almost had row 3 but made a mistake and had to start over. Then I panicked as I couldn't even get a single ticket (was trying for Hot Sound) only 5 minutes in. But then I remembered posts with the US dates showing people would say there were no tickets at some early time and someone would try later and get them. So I just kept trying and got 2 in row 5 with Hot Sound Package! YEAH! So maybe keep trying even now if you are not getting seats.

EEEEEEEEEEEE Got tickets!!! Bit the bullet and became a premium member, totally worth it! I'M SO EXCITED!!! And so grateful to have such an opportunity. I cried when I found out he was coming here. I love him so much. And I never thought I'd be able to see him. And now tickets are paid for and I'm going, it's totally surreal still

Aw man, row 3. But nothing wrong with row 5 for 2 people. I had to go alone at it to help my chances. I couldn't afford Hot Sound and I'm sure Gold went as fast as a freak seeing it was less than half the price than the Hot Sound. I so would have gone Hot Sound, personally. I'm happy you got good stuff! Yeah, I've been poking around seeing what was left, and nothing was coming up 40 minutes out from the start.
-
I went for Gold seating, likely like a lot of folk because they sold out quick! I got row 7, seat 14... Floor! ... suspect a little off centre, but it's row 7 for $650. I can't really complain here at all. I think I did pretty well. Little jealous of you Hot Sound guys, I have to say. Maybe next time... if I can manage a next time. For a first timer... I didn't do too badly. ops: I just feel super lucky right now and preparing and it just all worked out. I feel very lucky because I have to say they went quickly for Edmonton, as far as I know. It's pretty crazy. I was able to still get Gold seats half hour out on the US dates... not for Edmonton through Ticketmaster...

RIGHT ON! I'm happy you got tickets. Premium seemed to be worth it for the Edmonton date from what I was not getting on seats after 40 minutes or so.

Those ones are likely liars if they posted it yesterday. No one had access. Not even premium members unless I'm mistaken. Sounds like a scam.

Woot thanks!! Glad you got some too!!!!!! I'm hearing the entire floor is sold out already just between here with the premium members and ticketmaster's presale. Pretty intense
-
I thought there was supposed to be a presale at 1? What the hell?
-
Was there a regular priced ticket presale today? Wtf? I got an email saying 1pm and they said they were sold out before and after. So much confusion right now.

I can hardly believe it! It's true! Paul McCartney is really coming to Edmonton,Alberta,Canada on November 28,2012 at Rexall Place and I want to be there! On August 22,1971 I saw Led Zeppelin in Vancouver,B.C. at the Pacific Colesium. On October 15,1981 I saw The Rolling Stones in Seattle,Washington,U.S.A. at the Kingdome. In February 1964 I saw The Beatles on TV on the Ed Sullivan Show. I turned 12 years old in March 1964. Now my life long wish to see Paul McCartney live in concert in my own hometown is about to come true! Life is bliss!
