Shame on Paul and artist of his stature for not stepping up to do things to prevent as much of the brokers and scalpers from buying them up at such a high rate. In grand Rapids the seating capacity is almost 11,000 and the last time I looked there are over 500 seats on the resale market of just Ticketmaster. I know how the business works but there are some artist who have taken measures to cut down on this and paul does nothing?? That is part of the problem of him getting a flat rate, if it was a percentage of sales it would be different or if he cared more about what his fans are going through,but he does not unless you are one who buys the VIP ,Front Row package or similar. Sad.

don't get me wrong folks it breaks my heart not to go but it has to be more than a couple songs difference for me to go now. My wife is shocked.LOL..One thing I did not even mention is his voice. He really struggles with songs like Maybe I am Amazed yet he can not change it out to do songs he has not done and could handle easier. waste of a song anymore. Once again it is sad to me I have a streak of seven years in a row of seeing at least one show, I have had tours where I saw 4 shows in 8 days..I love the man and have been a fan since the Ed Sullivan show.

Too bad set list is almost Identical from the last tour..I have always been one that has defended his set list choices but when he only changes a song or two then I can not defend that. I was expecting 5 or maybe 6 different songs..I think I am going to skip this tour it will be the first time in 7 years I have not went to see him. Sad but that is reality. Thanks for all the fun times Paul. Best to you.
He's added in 6 new songs this tour: A Hard Day's Night Letting Go In Spite of All the Danger You Won't See Me Love Me Do Fool on the Hill
I agree however , I should have worded that differently, how many of those songs has he performed before in that recent past? I am at the point of wanting him to throw in songs he has not done before. I guess if you are going to change the tour name it should entail more than changing the name of the tour and stage and lights. this man has a tremendous catalog and yet he recycles songs he has done quite often. it is starting to have the feel that he is just wanting to sell more merchandise draw fans back to see songs he has performed many times. I get it it ,is his right to so and I love the man I am now at the point I am not going to fly or drive several hours for a couple songs I have not seen before. One thing that also bothers me is the presale to grand rapids. I have never, never been shut out from getting a ticket in a pre-sale and not only that I tried for several hours and was never even able to get a ticket of any type to come up not a single one. When I put together all of that it is just not worth it to go see him and you ar talking to some one who drove 8 hours spent the night etc..just to see him in Toronto because of Mull of Kintyre ..just think it is not worth it now. If there was 5 or 6 songs I have not seen him do I would still go. I may change my mind but it just kinda seems we are being pimped now. Have fun he is still the greatest to me.

RE: Grand Rapids Pre-sale Thread
I too have alway got a ticket that I wanted this will be my 22nd show of Paul's so I have done this before...one of the things that amazes me is look on the TM site at the length of time the fans and forum pre sale runs, it is like 48 hours. Why? they know the amount of demand Paul always gets yet some how they are out of tickets and do not release anymore?? it makes no sense. The other thing that surprised me is that how often do you see TM start selling at 8 am never it is always 10:00..my fault for not checking the time but they whole thing sucks. But oh well.

RE: Grand Rapids Pre-sale Thread
I have not posted for quite a while but I have to say the handling of the pre-sale for grand rapids was and is PATHETIC.. in many different ways. Go back to crowdsurge. It is like they are trying to force the fans of this forum to but the premium packages. sad sad sad.
