I’m sure tickets will be hard to get and expensive. Anyone planning on going?

One of those things you HAVE to go to. Even if it’s nosebleeds. Paul’s voice isn’t nearly what it used to be. But he gives it his all, plays the hits, and is a world treasure.

Bucket list but I fear tickets will be both outrageous and impossible.

My 16 yo daughter is a absolute Beatles/McCartney junkie and I'm praying I can get tickets without having to mortgage the house so she can see the legend in person. I did get tix for the tribute group The Fab Four in Houston at the end of the year which she'll love too, but I hope I can get tix for Smoothie King.

I saw him at the Smoothie King before COVID. I was kinda wishy-washy about going - my wife and mother-in-law were geared up about it. But he was great - I got a little choked up when he dedicated Something to "my friend Georgie". And it was just one classic hit song after another.

Saw him in 2013 when he was 70. He sounded amazing and played for like 3 hours that included hits from all his bands. One of the best concerts I've seen.

Saw him when he was here about 10 or 15 years ago. His voice at that time
was still strong, and it was an amazing show. I

That was one of the more unforgettable parts of the concert.
I first heard Paul’s voice as a six-year-old in 1964 and it was the first time I got to finally see him in concert
Absolutely one of the top shows of my lifetime

That's always the best part of the show.
I've seen videos where Paul sounds like he can barely sing anymore. I'm sure they can mask it pretty well, and I can appreciate him not pulling the crap Eagles are doing. He's a legend you have to go see no matter how he sounds.

I have seen the Fab Four several times. They do a great job. Very enjoyable.

I'll definitely be there.

I was at that show as well, incredible. Re tickets, we got them at the last minute thru a suite broker they were cheap. It was a great view of the stage and the sound was excellent

Got my tickets. $250 a piece for 300 level. Ouch!

Just checked for the Minneapolis show. Cheapest I saw was $200 apiece after fees for upper level corners. Anything in the lower bowl was stupidly expensive.

Yep, cheapest I saw was upper deck behind the stage for $200 a piece so I opted for half court in the upper deck for $50 more per ticket. Guess we will be able to at least see him.

What? You can love and respect the guy without paying an exorbitant fee for bad seats and a poor show or prerecorded vocals. What is the point in pretending he is not 83? Go to see some up and coming musicians in a small venue.

I'll probably go but waiting to buy. Presales aren't what they used to be. With market pricing right out of the gate you're basically just getting screwed at the earliest opportunity and getting it it of the way.

I grabbed two 100 level seats. Definitely overpaid, but my daughter was so happy when I told her it doesn't even matter. She never dreamed she'd get to see Sir Paul live. I can't wait to see her reactions during the show!

Also overpaid for 300 level to bring our kids. Figure it's really gonna be the last chance.

I just got two 300 level row 11 seats. All I could afford.
