saturn Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) So Sir Paul is playing 14 dates in the US. I notice he's taking plenty of time between shows except May 2 and 3. Baltimore is second to last stop at Camden Yards. I doubt I'll go. I have some friends that say they are getting tickets. They go on sale Friday. Who knows? Maybe I'll try to get a pair for wife and I. I wouldn't mind just being able to say "I saw Paul McCartney". Plus it's only the second concert ever at Camden Yards after Billy Joel played a few years ago. TOUR DATES: Thursday 28 April - Spokane,WA - Spokane Arena Monday 2 May - Seattle,WA - Climate Pledge Arena Tuesday 3 May - Seattle,WA - Climate Pledge Arena Friday 6 May - Oakland,CA - Oakland Arena Friday 13 May - Los Angeles,CA - SoFi Stadium Tuesday 17 May - Fort Worth,TX - Dickies Arena Saturday 21 May - Winston Salem,NC - Truist Field Wednesday 25 May - Hollywood,FL - Hard Rock Live Saturday 28 May - Orlando,FL - Camping World Stadium Tuesday 31 May - Knoxville,TN - Thompson Boling Arena Saturday 4 June - Syracuse,NY - Carrier Dome Tuesday 7 June - Boston,MA - Fenway Park Sunday 12 June - Baltimore,MD - Oriole ParkThursday 16 June - East Rutherford,NJ- Met Life Stadium https://www.paulmccartney.com/ Edited February 22, 2022 by saturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Saw him in 2015. I’m sure I don’t want to know what a ticket costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 1. I saw Paul McCartney. See? It's easy to say. Hell, I could probably say it all day. 2. Ticket cost? Well, like the old saying goes.... "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." And knowing "Sir Paul", the cost is probably equal to many people's car or house payments.

Whitefang I can afford it, I'm sure I don't want to pay for it, and in an outdoor baseball stadium or a college football field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I saw him in 2017 and paid about $150 for two tickets. We were basically in line with the front of the stage and very high up. The only time we saw him in person, rather than on a screen, was when he walked out onto the short catwalk. This time, I spent about $600 for two tickets. I'm still far from the stage, but this time I have a straight-on view. I had really built up how much they would cost, and was surprised that floor seats near the mixing board were "only" about $400. My only complaint at the moment is that there was no way to see ticket prices in advance. I had to get an idea from a reseller site that already had tickets posted. They were about 50% more than face value (fees not included) in the sections I looked at. Edited February 22, 2022 by pohatu771 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 We saw Paul 4 times now. Once with Linda in Ames Iowa. That was the best one and 3 times with his band. But we enjoyed all of them and no need to see him again. He won't be anywhere close to us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the guy's pushing 80. 😬 Agree. The rockers live are good, but the ballads and slow numbers are not easy to listen to. He’s a legend though.

Tman Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'll try to go to SoFi Stadium in May. Saw the Stones there and it was great. I saw him in 2002 in Oakland. it was amazing. Maybe I'm Amazed easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have had the good fortune to see him 28 times of the years..It is getting tough for him to sing but still a great show. You can't see anyone else with the massive catalog of hits/well known songs and the band he has had since 2002 are very good. I may go see him one more time if he comes near but one never knows.

Wow the most I did was a three day stand for the Grateful Dead before I joined the Navy. Paul was great but why did he have to play Temporary Secretary from McCartney II, complete with cheesy green laser lights? I took my wife on her birthday to see Macca in 2015. This summer 2 days before her birthday we are seeing Ringo. Edited February 23, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three times may go again this year, I love that you get to hear the other artists with him doing their songs as well. Fun time. As far as Temp Sec I have no clue..not one of my favorites I was able to sim him do some quirky like " Tequila" and "Ram On" in Nashville he always tries to pay tribute musically to the local music history. In Dallas it was to Buddy Holly doing "It's So Easy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came a few years back and I think we were testing in the Wind Tunnel that night and I was on the night shift. When Paul played Blackbird I cringed a little. His voice was not doing one of my favorite Beatles songs any justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long ago I can't recall who all was with him. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Where Wake Forest plays tix up front are $500 and nose bleeds are $130. Where to Oriole play tix up front are $800 and nose bleeds are $200. Love your music Paul, but you will just have to deal without me going to see you on this tour. He don't care and neither do I. Saw him once and I'm fine with that. Edited February 25, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEG Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hey everybody Greetings from Israel ! Im planning to go to the upcoming concert in June and would love to understand what to expect. Are the concerts standing or sitting? Will it be helpful getting there earlier to get to see him closer or it will make no difference? More so, The tickets are very expensive and even at the same section the prices are different, are you able to move in the section or you have a sit and stay at your sit ? thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
