@njr said in YaleConnect crashes after demand for Macca tickets:

@macbrat You were so lucky!

Yes, unbelievably lucky! It was a fluke that I heard about it ahead of time and something of a miracle that I was able to get a ticket.

Because YaleConnect had crashed, Yale later made waitlist tickets available on EventBrite. I was among those fortunate enough to have my waitlist ticket turn into an actual ticket to the event. For about 90 minutes Paul discussed his book The Lyrics with Paul Muldoon (co-author) and Yale professor Langdon Hammer. Paul talked about his family and their influence on him/his songwriting, his early musical influences, about writing with John and about songwriting generally. Unfortunately the moderator (Hammer) didn't successfully steer the conversation to Paul's solo songwriting, beyond Paul saying that John was so great to collaborate with that he still "checks" with him while writing songs. Paul told a few of his oft-told stories again, but I believe that most in this audience had not heard them before. Paul seemed relaxed and was given plenty of time to answer questions. I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend such a special event.

I believe the other guy is Trevor Jones (now deceased).  He was a roadie with Wings.

You never know. Keep checking on line. It’s a bit tedious to do that but sometimes additional tickets become available.

Nancy, thank you for sharing your fabulous photos!

I think sec 109 will be okay if you're near the aisle next to sec 108. You will be fairly close to stage. The camera booms shouldn't obstruct too much if at all. perhaps someone else who's more familar with the garden could provide more info but i think you'll be happy with your seats.

I believe the presale is 9AM Eastern time? Isn't Detroit on Eastern time?

Merchandise packages for Gold Seats were mailed out. Try emailing slocustomerservice@slotix.com, tell them you never received your merchandise pack. Let us know what happens.

It's old hat now but i was there in halifax when the first of the sign me/tattoo people got pulled onstage. I believe her name was audrey but could be mistaken. It was such an unexpected moment and i was amazed he actually signed a person! Like i said, just part of the show now but that first one was really unexpected. And fun for the audience as well as the signee.

Cassidy Todd, PM for you.
