McCartney Tickets: Fans Face Outrageous Prices & Massive Queues!

Paul McCartney's "Got Back" tour is generating immense excitement, but also significant frustration among fans attempting to purchase tickets. Reports are surfacing across the United States detailing exorbitant prices and virtual queues stretching into the hundreds of thousands.

Columbus Show Sparks Ticket Frenzy

For McCartney's November 8th performance at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, presale tickets went on sale July 15th. Within the first half-hour, the Ticketmaster queue reportedly exceeded 180,000 people. While some tickets initially priced at $43.55 and $174.70 quickly sold out, fans lamented the lengthy wait times and the overall difficulty in securing tickets.

Palm Desert Prices Shock Fans

Similar issues plagued the presale for McCartney's September 29th concert at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California. Fans reported prices ranging from $800 to a staggering $1,659 per ticket. One Instagram user reported waiting in line for almost an hour only to find tickets priced at $1,659, while others expressed outrage at the minimum ticket price exceeding $300.

Widespread Pricing Concerns

The high ticket prices aren't limited to just a few tour stops. Reports from other cities, including Chicago and Minneapolis, indicate similar trends, with some fans reporting prices of $1,200 for Chicago shows and $650 for nosebleed seats in Minneapolis. This has led to widespread complaints about "dynamic" ticket pricing, where prices fluctuate based on demand.

What Can Fans Do?

Fans hoping to attend McCartney's "Got Back" tour are advised to be prepared for high demand and potentially high prices. Consider exploring alternative ticketing options and remaining vigilant for potential scams. The tour continues across the US and Canada, concluding in Chicago in late November.
