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 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

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!!!!!
Call Ticketmaster 800-653-8000.

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.

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

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

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.
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

I didn't get a ticket from the PM sale today.
Went to the Dickies site and bought one, paid more than I should have but I wasn't going to miss him, I've seen him in every concert. At least TM didn't get my sale
. Just for kicks I went to some other venues and the tickets were SO much cheaper than what TM ripped Texans off for. But this one is the only one that was drivable in a day and not a stadium. Now looking forward to when hubby sees the bill, he says I would buy a PM turd if someone offered it to me
. Pray for the Ukraine

Well damn, TM does get my money!

Finally got some.
But geez...when I log on today and see better and cheaper seats than what was offered during presale, that's a bit ridiculous.

I thought VIP packages were "non-transferable"?

For the public sale ....after about an hour ALL the tickets were platinum.....over $1000. It is outrageous. I tried all week and failed to get a decent seat at a reasonable price. It's sad that Paul allows this. Other artists have done things to prevent it. It left me with a really bad feeling....greed rules.
he is not coming anywhere near me so I was gonna have to fly a long ways.....so there is no way I could afford that on top of a $1000 ticket. ( lost my job due to the pandemic, tough times) It felt like a big FU to the fans.
a few years ago one of Paul's sales was managed by SONGKICK and it was so nice.....no platinum seats, everything ran well, easy, straightforward, tickets at face value.....much better than Ticketmaster. It was such a nice experience.
and now all the resellers have tons of tickets.....but I refuse to support them.and I wish someone would explain why I clicked buy on SOOOOO many tickets and they all said another fan got the seats....and then those same seats came up again ten minutes later and the same thing would happen. I tried and tried and tried....was never able to actually buy a ticket. I have a new iPad Air.....it's not an old slow computer. WTF?

If you sell a VIP package to someone, you have to be physically there at the venue to show your I.D. and tell them this other person bought the ticket from you in order to get them in.
Stub Hub is a different story. I have no idea how that mess works. Bunch of "legal" scalpers! 🤬 -

Stub Hub is a different story. I have no idea how that mess works. Bunch of "legal" scalpers! 🤬Stub Hub just posts listings from people who have tickets to sell. They don't have the tickets in their possession, they get sent out from the seller, amd sellers set their own prices. I have sold tix there for under face value just to get rid of spares and not take a total loss on a ticket. Looks like these people above are just selling the tickets, and for gold and silver, they are claiming that the seller will send you the merch. Which they can, since gold and silver are sent to the home of the original buyer. But not with Front Row. So not sure how that is going to play out, because as you said, for soundcheck you have to have ID to get in.

Not sure why I keep looking. It's crazy how many "verified resales" tickets there are. $4000 front row, $1600 side row... We've been following Paul and loving him and his music for a long time, but looks like we'll sit this one out. Don't know if it's Paul or Ticketmaster getting rich(er), but congrats to those who can pay that much. I have kids and grandkids who could always use help (not to mention so many others out in this crazy world now), so it doesn't make sense to me to pay those prices. I'll give my money to them and listen to Paul on vinyl.
