Anyone else feel like that venue has a complete lack of atmosphere? I don't know if it's different on the floor, but up in the bowl seats it was very "stale". Like I KNOW the crowd was loving it, but you couldn't hear or feel it at all, compared to venues like MSG. You know what I mean?

Who just walked in causing a stir down below???
It was Clinton. Which also is the reason there was heavy security on the floor. He was 10 rows back in the center.

"Had a hard time finding a cab driver willing to take me from Manhattan to the Citifield shows last time." well, the train would have been easier anyway, but when hailing a cab in NYC, get in before you tell them where you are going...it is illegal for a cab to refuse a fare based on destination within the city or nearby vicinity...politely inform them it is illegal to refuse a fare based on destination (the law is posted in every cab) and take down the medallion number...simply sit in the car and call 311 if the driver refuses http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/24/taxi-panel-focuses-on-destination-discrimination/ http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g60763-s304/New-York-City:New-York:Taxis.And.Rental.Cars.html http://www.nyc.gov/apps/311/allServices.htm?requestType=topService&serviceName=Yellow+Taxi+Complaint http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/faq/faq_pass.shtml
Yes, I would absolutely not take a cab to Barclays. The traffic around there is not worth the trouble (it's all one way streets, you'll be going there during rush hour, etc. There are 9 subway lines and the LIRR that go right there and it's hands down the easiest way to go.

For anyone sitting in sections other than the floor...seat #1 in a row is located next to the adjacent section with a lower section number. For instance, seat #1 in section 24 is on the aisle next to section 23, etc.

Section F2 row 12, seats 13-14 worth it, I think
You know it's worth it

Considering how fast these shows will probably sell out, what do you think the chances are he adds more dates?

Ticketmaster pages are live. They currently list 2 prices. $69.50 ($83.10 after fees) and $304.50 ($349.40 after fees). I would think floor seats will be $304 and there might be another price tier for the first level of seats above the floor, with $69.50 being the upper level seats.
I would bet the whole place is $304.50 and the nosebleeds are the cheap $69.50. What a lot of people don't realise is a lot of the floor is gold $650 and a lot of the lower level is silver $450.
Good point. In a venue that small I'm ok with "nosebleeds"

You were in A2?! So was I!
Yup! We were in row 16. Everyone around us was great and really added to the atmosphere. The woman behind us hadn't seen Paul in over 40 years and was absolutely losing her mind. She brought her son and you could tell he was so happy for her. The 2 women next to us were in heaven and so happy we were seeing Paul for the first time. The man next to us brought his son, who couldn't have been older than 15. A2 rocked. Not a bad seed anywhere near us.

I was at the show last night with my wife, and this was the first Macca show for both of us. While I understand that a lot of people on the board were disappointed with the set list and that it was generally the same as last tour, I'm one of those people who absolutely loved it. It was amazing to see all those songs performed live and Paul's voice and energy is great for 69. I'd watch this concert live every day and not get tired of it. We were 16 rows back in A2 and the seats were worth every penny. I would never think of dropping $300/ticket on anything else but this. To me, it was once in a lifetime and I'm so glad I finally got to see him. There have been many times over the years that I've tried to see him and it just didn't work out for many different reasons. I'm only 30, but I've seen hundreds of concerts and it's safe to say this is the best show I've ever seen. Almost every song was a highlight for me. A few have asked about merch...there were about a dozen shirts for men, and about half that for women. It seemed like different booths had different shirts, and we went to about 3 before deciding what we wanted. All the shirts were $30-$40 and there was at least 1 hoodie. Posters were $10, program was $20, there were water bottles and some other little things for sale as well. I really liked about half the shirts designs. Not a big fan of the old "huge artist picture on the front of the shirt" shirt, but there were a good amount of those. There was a special NY shirt that had both dates on it, and I bought that just to save. I also bought 2 more shirts, a poster and a program...like I said, to me this was once in a lifetime
Anyway, I sympathize with the people disappointed by this set, but for every one of you, there's one of me who absolutely had the time of their life last night.

@5th-beatle: yes, new merchandise. Usual prices: $40 and up for shirts, etc. There was a stall set up outside the stadium, so you were able to purchase things before the gates opened, as well as stalls inside the stadium.
is there a tour poster? not a big one, but a small one with all the tour dates of this tour?
Not that I saw. I bought the only poster I saw and it was large (not 24x36 large, but maybe 20x24...haven't measured) and only $10. There were about a dozen shirts for men, and about half that for women.
