Charming and cute to be sure. This was the afternoon before my first Macca gig. It was a sultry, humid July evening. Amazing how everyone forgot about the heat as soon as the band took the stage

I just saw that regular priced tickets are again available for Macca in Des Moines . . .side lower bowl halfway back. When I checked a few days ago, there was still a wait list.

RE: Regular PreSale Question

She did use that number and it didn't work. She was able to find a list of the AMEX cards accepted and hers wasn't on the list. I didn't realize that the AMEX presale didn't mean all AMEX cardholders.
Well, that's discrimination! Was it only for Gold cards and above or something? Did she ever get tickets?
I have an AMEX thru Macy's that I can use anywhere AMEX is accepted but it's not accepted for AMEX presales on TM . . .I do believe it's a certain level of AMEX

Wonder if a second night gets added? Nah! Concert in 2 days after this one.
Doubtful . . .but I think it's great that this one has sold so well

Thread Bump 2: I heard on the local news last night that the majority of tickets for Des Moines were gone 45 minutes into the pre-sale. Still Hot Sound, Gold and Silver VIP left, and, of course, thousands on secondary markets They are taking names for a waiting list.

Just in case anyone is interested, a local radio station in Des Moines (KIOA) is doing a "Wall to Wall Paul" weekend starting at 4 p.m. today. You can listen on their website: http://kioa.com/

Glad you got something good. I sat in a similar spot in KC. Lower row (B I think) but same section. What was bizarre is that I was almost closer to the corner of the stage than the front row on the floor. And you are welcome - happy to help!

RE: Soundcheck Only Tickets/Admission

At one of the US Out There concerts, a group of students studying music in university were invited to the soundcheck. They were given free entrance to the soundcheck itself but had to leave when the regular concert was starting (unless they paid for a ticket). Lucky, right? -Rubber Soul13
That actually happened in Lincoln in 2014 too. No offense, but the kids were pretty clueless . . .mandatory class assignment??
This happened at the Minneapolis soundcheck last year, too. Some U of M students were there. Seemed to me like they enjoyed it.
The student group in Lincoln were high-schoolers I think. They were situated behind us. I kept screaming "Every Night" I love that song and it had been taken out of the actual show setlist. After I screamed it about 10 times, I heard one of the students say (and I'm paraphrasing) "Jeez . . .every night what?" I hope they figured it out when my screaming was rewarded by Paul doing "Every Night" in soundcheck!

Considering VIP package. Anybody know how many seats are on each row in the floor sections? Never been to Des Moines before. Thanks!
I called the ticket office yesterday and was told there were 14 seats across in each section of the floor and that they would keep the aisles. I really don't believe there will be aisles in the first few rows. When I did VIP at Lincoln in 2014, the seating chart showed aisles and there were none. I had 3rd row, Seat 11 there and was about 1 seat off center of Paul's mic. I have 3rd row, seat 12 this time so I'm hoping it's about the same. I hope you have fun in Des Moines! I don't live there but am close so if I can answer any questions, let me know and I'll try 2:
Thanks Seuss! Very helpful! Still trying to decide how much I can spend!
Good luck if you decide to go for it! I checked earlier today and looks like front row is sold out but I think there was still something left in all of the other VIP pkgs. I honestly didn't think I'd do another one . . .what can I say? The view from the 3rd row is addictive :

I missed the meetup last time. This is my first time in front but I have done a few soundchecks.
Congrats!
Thanks. I think the main reason I went for front row is for the extra leg room.
I have the opposite problem. At just over 5', I always have leg room but can't see over anyone that's 5'7" or taller! Anything further than rows 3-4 and I'm probably looking at someone's belt loops :

RE: Soundcheck Only Tickets/Admission
oobu24:
Really? Maybe ask that person that has it listed that way. They could have sold their regular seat I guess because I don't think soundcheck tickets are transferable.
I think I saw on the Slotix site there was an option to upgrade to do soundcheck if you already had a ticket . . .for Japan only. I've never heard of that option in the U.S. but I'm pretty much a rookie at doing VIP pkgs

RE: Pre-sales: Bossier/Wichita/DesMoines/Omaha/Tinley/Detroit
Ospreylady:
When I hit the link to the Des Moines concert, it says presale sold out, general sale 4/28.....but elsewhere it says general sale is not until 5/1. Which is it??????
It does look like presale tickets thru pm.com are sold out. There is an arena club presale on 4/28 but the general public sale is not until Monday, 5/1. I believe the AMEX presale that started yesterday runs until 4/30. You could try to sign up for their CyberClub to get the presale password that starts on 4/28. Here's the link: http://neweratickets-t.neolane.net/webApp/iowaCyberClub?_uuid=01735591-c509-4d79-8d9a-6f2fb4fe0775
