At a time when so much has changed in our culture to dividing us into the "haves" and the "have nots," this is more of the same. C'mon Paul!

Yes, just plain old, I would like to see Paul and his band, tickets. I have a mid price range, not a package/VIP range.  One used to be able to get tickets that were accessible, and affordable. (Note the disappointment)

OK, so this is a bit late in the game to be messaging about this, but how in the world do you get tickets to the Freshen Up tour? Let me explain: We tried.  I tried online. I tried the presale. Then we tried the general sale. I had my phone going and my tablet and was set up 30 minutes before "go time" to try and get tickets. My husband stood in line at the appointed venue. The result? My husband was told, "Sorry, only single seats are left".  All I was able to accomplish was receiving a message stating that the tickets I had selected went to another fan. Over and over I received that message. I kept trying. Finally after 1 hour of trying to teach and get tickets, I gave up.  I tried again in the evening hoping among hopes to try and get tickets again, only to see that the tickets were now double in price. I tried again late at night, thinking, well, maybe there's less of a demand at this time. But nope. Same thing. I can't afford the prices that are listed. Not for 2 people, well, really not even for 1. I am heartbroken, but more than that, disheartened. How in the world did getting tickets for Sir Paul get this complicated, and expensive? I have 2 venues that I tried THIS time, and each one, same problem. Mind you, this is my third year trying and coming up with the same result. What have others done to just get some bloody tickets? This was not the case when Paul was going through CrowdSurge.

Looking for Madison/Green Bay tickets.

Thank you!  Kathi

I have tried since 10:00 CST on Monday to purchase tickets for the Milwaukee presale,using the 1on1withpaul password. No go. Very frustrating. I've also tried calling Ticketmaster. Also frustrating. Long waits, and automated answers. Yikes. I'm beginning to think that fans are not allowed to purchase tickets. Does anyone know how to go about getting the Milwaukee presale tickets? Thank you!

Try to keep calm and remember that ticketmaster is a (authorized) SCAM! I've come to believe that these presales are what they use to dump most of the mediocre seats for venues. If you've followed some of the other "city" threads, you might have noted that KILLER seats popped up this week for Portland (rows 4-6) and Vancouver (5th row center) just days before the show. When I saw Paul two years ago, I was able to get a single 3rd row seat for two of his shows within the final two weeks prior to the show... I recognize that probably isn't much comfort to you right now - sorry! - because you want to get tix and know you're in, but patience often pays off. It's a bit risky, but it may be worth it. I'm going to Seattle on Sunday and have a mediocre seat, but since I'm going solo, I keep checking ticketmaster for a really good seat. This morning, one could buy FOUR floor tickets about 20 rows back (still not good enough to tempt me). Just remember that seats are OFTEN becoming available and that a "sellout" on day one - which undoubtedly will be announced - still doesn't mean that a bunch of good seats won't likely pop up in the runup to the show.

This I have not heard before. I very much appreciate your advice. It's likely that when I try for tix during the general sale on Friday I will again turn off my computer in frustration. It's nice to know that there may still be a way to get tickets as the concert draws nearer. It's disconcerting that this method of purchasing tickets has become the norm for maaca's concerts. It is a real pity for his loyal base. Thank you again for reaching out to me.

I guess I can say that I have been very fortunate to have purchased tickets, seen Paul quite a number of times, beginning at the Rosemont in Chicago, and fully enjoyed and celebrated his performances with other Beatle fans. He's always been my favorite and I consider myself a loyal fan. However, this new method of purchasing tickets, with many of his fans being disallowed from actually getting a ticket, especially after being invited during a presale, smacks of favoritism to the big bucks brokers. Hardly what I've been led to believe as Paul's loyalty to his fans. I am frustrated with this process, but worse, disillusioned with my favorite artist.

No pre sale tix available. Talked with customer service rep from TM and was told that was the reason I couldn't get any tickets. I asked how that could've happened at 10:00 am on Monday, after having just gone on sale. They didn't know. This happened also when trying to get tix for Chicago, during pre sale. By the time I tried for general admission, I could get 1 ticket only, and pretty undesirable seat. Disappointed in maaca's ticket purchasing. We can't afford VIP...

Having trouble getting pre sale Summerfest tickets, despite trying, refreshing, trying again since 10:00 yesterday. What to do?? Any advice appreciated! This happened to me a couple years ago when trying to get Chicago tix. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks fellow macca fans!
