Just wanted to say that a very kind forum member offered me two tix at face value for the first show as they can't make it. Unfortunately - really unfortunately! - we can't now change our flights and so are unable to take advantage of this very kind offer. Just need to hope we get on the guest list for the secret warm up gig the night before! Regards Jim

MaccaGirl90:
Can I also just point out that the original poster decided to Google WHY concert tickets are sold out already for this event and pulled up drivel from a two-bit newspaper as proof that concertgoers are supposedly screwed over? Maybe this person should think, like most actual Macca fans, "Oh, first PM concert in Orlando in exactly 20 years! Those will go quickly!" I smell a troll. Rolling Eyes
No, not a troll. A long term and very unhappy fan.... I Googled 'McCartney Orlando tix' looking for other sources and came across the OS article. We have this problem in the UK too and it hacks me off. I remember engaging in correspondence with a venue and they blamed the promoter and/or artiste who they claimed did side deals to maximise their profit by selling to scalpers. How can it be that these people have hundreds if not thousands of tix to sell often in advance of the official dates? If it was a 10% maximum mark-up for expenses I could live with that. This is not. This is profiteering and if you accept that then you deserve the situation. However it's about time something was done about this. If someone of the stature of Paul McCartney can't or won't do anything then we really are in a dire position. / Jim

Hi, My wife and I are to be in Orlando next month and were delighted to see two dates set. It would mean amending our return flights as we are supposed to leave on 18 May but maybe we could manage that....at a cost of course I'm sure knowing airlines. However, when we tried to get tickets - no chance. I Googled this subject and I've pasted below what the Orlando Sentinel reported. This is obviously bad news for us but for Paul it is also bad in that it is obviously people ripping both him and the fans off. How many more chances will we get to see someone who has been the soundtrack to our lives? Perhaps not many as it is amazing that he still wants to get out there and put on a show. Best wishes for a great show for any real fans who do manage to get tickets. Regards Jim Orlando keeps secrets about McCartney show Paul McCartney has set an Orlando tour date.

Are you a big Paul McCartney fan? Are you hoping to buy tickets to his upcoming Orlando show when they go on sale today? Good luck. Because many, if not most, of the seats have already been sold to VIPs, insiders and scalpers who have special access to "pre-sale" offers.
