WHOA!
It was just insane (and downright criminal if you ask me) the prices that were being charged during the presales today. (Tickemaster's pricing, not Paul's ticket pricing) And the prices were changing right as people were adding them into their carts to buy. Folks would see one price, add it to the cart and the price would suddenly change.
That's supply & demand to the extreme.

It's so sad that outright robbery is happening in front of our eyes. Paul doesn't get that money. It seems Ticketmaster is trying to steal from Paul too!!!

It's TM trying to be its own scalper. It's outrageous and the worst Plat pricing I have ever seen from them.

For 20K I'd expect Paul to personally pick me up from my house, play a set list of my choosing and drop me home afterwards.
LOL!!!! That "setlist of my choosing" would be almost worth it!
Want to place bets he would not remember how to play some of the songs you might request -lol

I saw Paul in 1976. Row 10 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I still have the ticket. Price was $10.
-
I've been front row center stage to see Paul. I knew then I would never match that experience again but, I still saw him every tour after that. I've tried all day yesterday to get one ticket but decided I just couldn't pay the prices they were asking. Today, I found one lonely ticket in the back for $256. I clicked to buy it but it won't let me purchase, says it doesn't meet the criteria I set?! I changed all the filters, tried again and now it says I have to purchase 2 tickets. There aren't two seats, there's only one!!!!! I tried anyway for 2 tickets and of course it comes back saying I don't meet the criteria for "aisle seats". Does anyone no the solution for getting around this? Is there a place I can call? Maybe I'll just buy a ticket from a scalper at the venue. Uhg!!!!!

Didn't get tix. Kept telling me I can't use my device. My iPad is really old and wouldn't load. Tried using iPhone but the screen is too small and couldn't find anything. Took way too long and only seats showing up were way out of my price range. Guess I'll try for public sale on Friday but don't have much hope that I'll get anything.

If you want him to remember the words, that'll be an extra $5000

If it helps, i've seen tickets on stubhub the day before a show listed below face value. Difficult to plan obviously, but it happens more often than not.

Sorry just figured out how to post the pic and not a link. sorry sorry.
-
VIP packages on Stubhub now? I guess that explains why these were being snagged up infront of our eyes and vanishing faster then we could click on them. It was hard to find these but esppeically golds and silvers. Also note the 4 times the price? Wow

Tried to get tix to NC show today.
I logged on before noon. And it was already all double letter seats.
I'm sorry but after seeing him on front and 4th row, I can't spend $300 for the 42nd row.
Just not gonna do it.Then you look at what's available and you see there's a pair of tickets on the 6th row but they are over $1000.
I'm sorry but no one is worth that. I can take my family on a nice vacation for that amount.Defeated.
I hear ya'! I've already seen him a number of times & they were fantastic shows but now it's not worth the cost. I'm looking forward to seeing Iron Maiden this summer which is a lot more reasonable & can count on a lively entertaining performance. Paul hasn't announced any Toronto date.

They need to change their name to Ticket Tyrant to reflect the truth.

I'd expect John and George to show up for that price

I ran into the same problem. The system is not set up to let one buy a single tix on an aisle, even though the map shows one tix available. Plus can't buy one tix when there are only two together surrounded by sold tix. Also I've tried calling Ticketmaster and they don't seem to be taking phone calls. Just keep referring me to their web site.

Now the damn code is BANDON when you select only Venue Presale!
And if you have $5000 per ticket to blow, there are 2 seats in Sec. 109 (center) behind the pit at the Hard Rock in Hollywood!

....
Well, looks like I won't be seeing Paul McCartney this time round. I'm sure I'm logged in , it says "Hi _ _ _ _" up top.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the request on this device.
Please make sure you are signed into your Ticketmaster account and try again or come back later."
I tried on my phone as well. I actually had a decent seat and was going to buy one but as I was reading the covid bullshit somehow I got kicked out and my phone went to the home thingy. Oh well...it is a stadium show (I hate stadium shows), the man will be a few weeks shy of 80, and I've seen him 5 times already. I'll keep trying though. I mean...he is a Beatle after all
