Hi Guys ! I took my 7 years old son to the gig here in Sao Paulo ( Brazil ) last november , 2014. Dispite of many thins like huge queues and Paul starting the gig almost 2 hours late, everything went perfectly fine. We were with another friends with kids age 10 and 14 , so they were happy and excited about what would come .... No ear plugs, no special cares... Hahahaha ! Of course we were on the sitting areas, so they could have access to toilets and buy snacks at any time. I also took with me sandwiches and fruits and those airplanes pillows ( hahaha ) , because I was pretty sure he would fall asleep at a certain point. And that's what happened. I think he slept for almost 1 hour and woke up with the " fireworks " during " live and let die " And since then he was absolutely crazy and happy !!!! It was a really awesome evening that I'm sure he'll never forget !!! Good luck and enjoy !!!

Obrigada Carlos ! Que sorte vc teve..... Eu estava achando que iriam comecar a vender as 7pm ....

What time is gonna be the general sale tomorrow ?

No success

Deixo aqui minha indignação ao ocorrido. Desde 6:00 em ponto fiquei tentando efetuar a compra de meu ingresso e o sistema apresentava erros primários de programação ao finalizar a transação. Em 50 minutos a empresa responsável pelas vendas diz que vendeu todos os 55.000 ingressos, o que dariam quase 1100 ingressos por minuto. Desculpem, mas no Brasil com "s" nossa banda larga e essa programação fraca do site não aguentaria comercializar esse volume de ingressos nesse período. Outra coisa que me soa engraçado é que de 55.000 fãs acordados as 6am apenas 15 estão discutindo o ocorrido no site oficial. Desculpem minha indignação, mas como sempre me soa como maracutaia. Vendem tudo pelo "corporativo", alimentam o cambismo, o ágio e a venda ilegal. É uma venda de evento em estádio e futebol, ou seja: já deve estar tudo com a mafia que vendia os ingressos da copa na cara dura e o brasileiro já esqueçeu. Triste pela escolha de seus parceiros Sir. Paul. Triste pelo Brasil

Depois de algumas tentativas eu consegui comprar duas inteiras . Porem na confirmacao esta escrito para retirar os ingressos no Mineirao ! . Isso porque pedi para entregar pelo correio, onde inclusive jah veio imclusa a abusiva taixa de entrega. Ate agora nao recebi nenhuma confirmacao de compra efetuada pelo email.... Que medo !

Ivan182:

"A quantidade máxima de ingressos por pessoa para o SP - 25 de Novembro de 2014 21h é de 1 item." ???????????? QUE ODIOOOOO

Naooooo ! Acabei de comprar 2 ! Eh ate 4 !

Hi ! this is Wayne from Taiwan I also bought the tickets from Crowdsurge,and didn't receive the tickets yet Me and my friend had contact to their customer support several times,But their staff always said"we are sure your tickets are in transit...You'll receive them soon..blablabla" Until now,I still haven't get the tickets,and our flight to Japan is on 11/9 What should I do if the show date comes?? Is there anybody have the same problem like me? Is there any substitute option that I can still get in the concert without the belated tickets?? p.s I have the e-mail from Crowdsurge that shows what seats I've bought and the other mail tells that my tickets were dispatched,should I print them out and bring them with me?Does it helps?

Hi Wayne, Once again, welcome to the message board! Back on the 29th of October, I had addressed your concerns in the thread that you created here: http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2741352#2741352 As it is now five days prior to the concert, Customer Support at Crowdsurge suggests the following: http://www.crowdsurge.com/support/

If the event is less than 5 days away and you still have not received any Dispatch Confirmation email then please use the link at the bottom of this page to send us a query. Please include your Order ID number, email address that the tickets were purchased with and the details about the relevant show. http://www.crowdsurge.com/support/?link=6071f267&cat=delivery&type=2&cs_css=support

As previously indicated, in the past, members that failed to receive their tickets prior to the concert date had their original dispatched tickets voided and made arrangements for reissued tickets at the venue box office. Yes, please print and bring with you the two e-mails indicating the tickets that you purchased and the dispatch notice, along with photo identification and the card used to purchase the tickets. As Crowdsurge suggests, you should contact them at this point with your concerns, particularly as you are leaving for Japan on the 9th. I hope this information is helpful. Anita

Hi, I just came back from Fukuoka, I didn't receive my tickets either and I had no problem to enter the venue. Crowdsurge sent me an email telling me the right gate where I should collect the tickets. You have to take a printed copy of the tickets receipt and one document with a photo like your ID or passport. Everything was very easy and well organized . Don't worry and enjoy the show !

Hello all I live in Shanghai and I want to go to Fukuoka on november 15th I've just received the news about the website pre sale tickets. I didn't understand one thing.....only the japanese fans can buy the tickets today ??? Is it possible to buy the tickets living in another country ???? Please, somebody HELP ME !!!!!! Thanks

I was thinking about the seats ....and I agree with you....should be far away from the throng of people on the floor and from the stage....I'm sure she will be scared of the "fireworks " ( like in "Live and let die ") .....

This was my biggest concern. We chose seats far enough away so that it wouldn't be crazy... we chose the lower level stands, fairly far back. Our son doesn't like heights all that much so these seats were better than being in the upper level nosebleeds. The floor would have been too much, IMO... at least for my kid, anyway. He loved the fireworks and explosions but the ear protection was a MUST. We bought them in the gun department at ****'s sporting goods... the heavy duty headphone kind, and they worked out great!

Of course they wouldn't let you type D i c k's!! Deaschumi, Couldn't you find a professional babysitting service for the 3 year old? Are you staying at a hotel? They can refer you to one.

Yes, we are going to stay in a hotel, but honestly, I won't be relaxed and enjoy the show if I leave her with a babysitter that she never saw before...

Ah, well, I guess I was a terrible mother--in 1990 I left my 3 year old twins with an old friend of mine they'd never met before so I could go see Paul (and they survived--they're now 26 and my son loves Paul & The Beatles! Daughter leans more towards Coldplay, etc!)

I think there's a very big difference between what you did and what she's talking about. At least YOU knew the babysitter, even if the kids didn't. You knew they could be trusted and so you knew they were in safe hands. In her situation, if I understand correctly, she's going to be visiting the city and wouldn't know anybody personally. I would be terrified having a stranger in a strange town babysit my son, even if they were "professionals"! That said, I probably wouldn't want to take a 3 year old to a stadium rock concert but others have done it. I guess in that case, you just have to be prepared for everything, including a willingness to leave early if things get ugly...

Nancy R, sorry, I think you didn't understand me....as joemcook said, I will be in another country, probably the babysitter doesn't speak Portuguese or English, and nowadays it's hard to trust someone that you don't know, especially when we are talking about our kids....But a very good friend of mine who lives in the same building that I live here in Shanghai, she said she can stay with my kids for 3 days ! This will be perfect and in this case I don't see any problem at all !!!!

In 2011, I traveled with my 3 year old to NYC to see two shows at Yankee stadium. It was VERY hot and humid and because of the crowds on the subway, I carried her the entire time on my back in a baby carrier. Those Ergo carriers are the best! I brought her some ear muffs to protect her ears, but for most of the show (each night) she was fine. About 2/3 way through, she fell asleep on my lap. I was up in the stands where we could sit instead of stand. It was the furthest I've ever sat at Paul shows and the first time I've actually sat down! haha I think you've received some great advice to bring some things that will keep your child/ren busy and give them naps before the shows. Enjoy! I recently went to DC and did not take my now 5 year old to the show and am so glad I didn't. It felt a bit crazy and disorganized getting in and out and my daughter is now much heavier than she was 2 years ago so I wouldn't have been able to carry her the same way. As mentioned by someone else, only you know your child/ren and know what you can or cannot handle.

DaisyL, I have the Ergo carrier, my husband already told me....if we go, please take the carrier !!! Thanks for helping !

We just took our 6 year old (he'll be 7 next month) to the show in Washington D.C. and it was a great experience! He loves Paul's music, so I thought he would enjoy the concert. That said, we all know our individual kids and what works for one kid may not work for another. We prepared in advance to make it the best experience possible for whole family and every worked out great! He never complained once the entire night, even though the show started an hour late and ended at nearly midnight. He stayed awake the whole show and was really into much of it... especially his favorite songs, which are all the upbeat tunes!! We brought ear protection for him so that he wouldn't be alarmed by the sudden loud noise of 70,000 people screaming. We made sure that he rested in the afternoon before the show, 'cause we knew it would be a long night for him. We also brought his Nintendo DS which we let him play for some of the slow songs in the middle of the show, as well as at the end. I figured 3 hours would be a lot to make any kid sit through, so we brought his video game with us to insure that he wouldn't get board and overly antsy... worked like a charm! Again, not one single complaint the entire night! And he really enjoyed much of the concert... "Live and Let Die", with all of the fireworks and explosions wound up being his favorite song of the night. Loved "Mrs. Vandebilt" and "All Together Now" a lot, also! At the beginning of the show, when Paul took the stage, my boy was cheering just as loud as any other fan in that audience and he knew the words to every song all the way up until "My Valentine". In fact, he knew the words better than I even realized he knew them!! I was a very proud dad!!!

I'm taking my almost-seven year old tomorrow. Great advice on all accounts. I don't think she'll get bored since we are on the floor and might be a little crazy, but I am taking her for a bathroom break to get some calm down time from all the excitement. She is scared of Live and Let Die but I showed her a bunch of videos to show how far we'll be from the fireworks. I've got earplugs packed.

It's a hard decision for me , as I live in another country ( China ) and don't have relatives here to stay with the children. The only time I watched his show was in Brazil in 1993, during The New World Tour... I was 16 !! Since then there was no other opportunity for me And now, HE will be in Japan, 2 hours flight from Shanghai.... My son is 6, I'm sure he will be fine, but I have a 3 years old girl.... not easy at all.... Anyway, thank you all for the replies and advices .... Probably someday in the future they will be grateful to have had a chance to watch a Beatle show !!!

Hello and welcome to the message board There should not be a problem taking your children to one of Paul's shows. You might be interested in reading about fellow users' advice and experiences here: http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86379 http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86574

Thanks for everything ! I hope they"ll be fine ( one of them is only 3 years old, but already know some of Macca's songs

Does anyone know if there is a minimum age to watch the show ? I'm from Brazil, living in Shanghai ( China ) and I'd love to go to Japan, but I need to take my kids with me.... lol Thanks
