I'm having a once in a lifetime day......I paid it off!!

Vallejo, Calif..................never happen...... I dare you!!

I have had time to get even more upset by the Waiting List.  I feel really let down by Ticketmaster.  I’ve been a good customer buying  $2000. tickets every year since 2009.  They know I’m not a scalper, I only buy 1 or 2 at a time.  I have always purchased the TM VIP , some have turned out to be good,some not so good but at least I had free choice., I made the decision to buy or not.  Now it’s not free choice, it’s no choice.

l really hope this is temporary.  It has driven me to either give up and don’t go or buy from the scalpers at almost 3,000$  They have raised their prices to off set any losses.

I have been up front for so long ,I tried a cheaper seat once but.......

I gotta say, I hate the way Ticketmaster does their business. To get McCartney tickets you’ve gotta register for pre-sale. So I do, I register. Then I get an email a day or 2 later saying that I’m on the “waitlist”, and “should more tickets become available, registrants will be randomly selected and notified via text message”. Which is already a buncha BS.

It gets worse: I then go to StubHub and they’ve already got nearly 2,000 tickets available!

So Ticketmaster does it this way, they say, to keep bots from buying tickets so the real fans can. Well guess what, it’s NOT WORKING! I’m as big a Macca fan as anyone, been a mega fan for 45 (or more) years, but I might have to restort to paying ridiculous amounts of money to get nosebleed seats! I had/have plans to take my 9 year old son, who LOVES all Paul and the Beatles, to his first concert in Fort Wayne. It would be a very special, once in a lifetime experience that we’d share together that he would NEVER forget for the rest of his life. Hope these a-holes don’t blow it for us. It shouldn’t be this difficult. It’ll be crushing if it doesn’t work out.

Ugh!  I'm in the same boat!  I just want the dang code!!

i got on the waiting list too, I feel snubbed.  It’s made me change my mind about going...feels punishing .

Billy Joel is playing MSG next week on the 23rd; maybe Paul will show up and then play a secret gig a day or two afterwards if he is in the NYC area (Hamptons). This will keep him in the news cycle leading up to the release of the lp (The Carpool Karaoke special on CBS Monday will help as well).  Debating on going as I am seeing ELO at the Garden the night before and I already saw Billy last month for his 100th.  Thoughts?

Paul has been in LA recently, but of course that doesn't mean he couldn't be back in the Hamptons by the 23rd, the way he jetsets around.    Guesting with Billy, who knows? He's obviously had many chances and will have many more.   BTW just saw ELO and it is a great show.

Can anyone help us find the best tours of Liverpool?  Who knows the name of the Liverpool tour company run by Paul’s relatives?  ‍️

Very happy with the fan pre-sale.  The system actually works.  Got two good tickets for the Quebec City show Sept. 17, 2018. Thanks Ticketmaster.

It only works if you are lucky enough to be selected or are ready to a pay a 500 dollar premium (on top of the 275) per ticket.

I was selected (Montreal 1pm presale) and I got zip. Congrats Birmingham!

I got a good ticket but had to fight for it.  Access code, etc never came but I manage to wrestle a ticket from them anyway.  Had to go on my old laptop to get it,  TM knows it .  Managed 4th row center ".....I’m as happy as a bird

Was this Hot Sound Package? No code was needed for any VIP tickets.

Hot Sound.  I was into trying the Verification route but as usual PM.com tickets does not work as well as TM .  I wasted 30 minutes waiting for the access code.  Checked all VIP’s all wanted a code at first , this eventually cleared.  ‍️  I had set my location as Quebec on TM , missed the button to change back to US & lost a ticket in the 3rd row.  Thought I was sunk anyway so i went on my old laptop and got a ticket in a few minutes much to my surprise.

for some reason, this is the only of the 4 Canada shows that doesn't list presale info on the Ticketmaster page.  Just says "on sale Friday July 13"

I don't think TM sells these tickets.  I think you have to buy from Evenko.  See the link that 5th Beatle posted above.

Thanks - but the link still takes you to TM verified fan

Hope I’m not too late..boy do I need this.  My life is a flipping soap opera lately, I need some rock and roll & some fun.
