Eeee Cor Blimey:

I do find it strange it's the people who don't even live in the UK (or Europe for that matter) that in this thread seem to be saying it's a disaster and that we're all too thick/naive to be allowed that choice... Can i just say people voted not just about money - it's not all about money. Many were sick of the EU making rules, such as the lightbulbs, vacs, with hair dryers next! Would you in the states like another body tell you you could no longer make or sell a vacuum cleaner that is any more powerful than 1600 watts with a 900 watts rule to come next year?! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/21/anger-as-eu-bans-most-powerful-vacuum-cleaners Most people were 2100 btw.. Anyway, little things like that have piled up, many feel so pissed off with the EU setting up rules and laws for the UK, rather than allow our own leaders to do so. Not saying what i voted for, just cos i did this post doesn't mean i was out, nor in, but just wanted to point out it's not all about the pound. The pound will come back up again in time.

This happens in the U.S. all the time. Especially laws about stricter environmental standards, plumbing standards, Air conditioning standards, more efficient lightbulbs, appliances, you name it. Most of it starts in California, and eventually the rest of the U.S. will follow. It's been happening here for years. That's what the EU is all about. Being a union, not separate. I think it's too bad the vote was to separate, and will not be good for Britain in the long run.

Unfortunately we don't have that chance here, you can't choose on this subject by referendum in Italy. Your democracy is just so far ahead. Anyway ... we had a good chance to buy beatles memorabilia at a very good price on june 24

distractions, definitely

It's like he's singing with one lung. There is no power in his voice. It's been croaky or wobbly before sometimes but not like this. It's weak, and sometimes feeble. Interestingly the press reviews have made no issue of it. Not yet.

Or maybe he's just a 74 year old man singing the songs he wrote when he was 25. Like it or not, he'll never ever sound as good as the year before (nor will any of us) so shall he be touring next year .. we'll be looking back to how great he sang in 2016 He's just human, isnt' he?

Mettila come vuoi, amica mia, fatto sta che Paul ha programmato 29 concerti in 21 stati e l'Italia non ? contemplata. Pi? lampante di cos? pu? solo farci marameo con la mano "Romans, italians, country men I want you to listen to me Quindi prendetevi sto biglietto per la Germania e fatela finita"

Il fatto ? che, per quanto noi ci illudiamo "ma Paul ama l'italia", la realt? nuda e cruda ? che a Paul dei fans italiani non frega un'emerita cippa. Forse non vende bene, forse non gli piace la nostra organizzazione (e come dargli torto), forse fa troppo caldo o troppa nebbia. Dati alla mano: dal 1976 al 2016 Sir Paul McCartney ha suonato in Italia 10 volte In Francia o Germania probabilmente ha suonato tre volte tanto Facciamo tesoro dell'anno insigni 2011 e ....... andiamo all'estero

Hi everyone are there any news about a date in Italy? I knew that there were rumors about Lucca Summer Festival, but there are no more news.

No news = bad news

Not with all those people buying VIPs with early entry...

So you suppose that there are 400 ppl who buy vip ticket in each show? Yes I suppose in Holland i made it in the second row because someone was already there .. but this is mere unluck, it all depends on where you end up running

It's possible indeed I made it a few times, all you need is a standing ticket, a lot of patience and a coat to sleep rough the night before the show I did it in Liverpool and Paris and made it in the very first row. ARrived very early in the morning in Arnhem and got the second row. Not bad for 50 ? A friend of mine last year paied 70 ? or so in Marseille and was so close he took wonderfull pictures, you cold see every wrinkle Paul had It all depends on how long you are willing to queue

I think the bad planning, with 3 shows in Germany, has played an important role in poor ticket selling. Ticket prices are not to blame, just compare the price you have to pay to see the Stones or the U2, there's not much difference. Anyway the best seats are all sold out, Paul seems to have a problems with the remote seats...we all want to be as close to him as we can

mr.flamingpie:

maybe the fact that ticket demand especially in germany is sluggish/bad is the main reason that there are no further rumors/news for other eu gig's What is the situation for madrid/paris ticket sales?

Paul's team should forget about playing in huge football stadiums in Europe....indoor arenas are the best for Paul's shows...and theatres and clubs would be even better.....

I think Paul's team made a big mistake: you can't play 3 sold out gigs in stadiums in the very same country. And another mistake is to play Holland and Belgium which are very close. Very bad planning. Half Europe is cut off

I agree with you , but this morning I heard rumors of possibly going to Lucca, isn't it Steblap?

I'm holding my breath Happy Easter 2:
