Paul McCartney Tour is it worth $500 a pop

[spotlightkid]

Paul McCartney's first USA tour is about to start.Rumours have it to get a seat where you can see th ex-beatle up close will top $500.is only one beatle worth that much to see.if it's $500 regular price then the ticket brokers will charge up to $2000.i'm sorry but unless you have money to burn i will just remember seeing him in 1976 with wings-that was enough for me.

If it was a good show why not? The problem is if you think the show sucked they wouldn't be offering any refunds.

Maybe I'm Amazed because that's High, High, High$$$:eek:

You could get a nice hotel room for a night a week in a crappy motel a good bottle of Port 1/6 of a Rolex 1/2 a pair of speaker cables. $500 just doesn't go that far any more.

Listen to what the man said...if there's a Rock Show that's Getting Closer we will hear some Silly Love Songs. With a Little Luck we'll board a Jet or take Helen('s) Wheels to Londontown to watch the Band On The Run.

I've Had Enough of this nonsense, My Love...

Give that man a break! He is on The Long And Winding Road to save enough money to Get Back from Jacko the rights to the Beatles songs. ;)

[Andy]

It seems unlikely that he'll ever regain control of the Beatles catalog.

[Paul Chang]

Only if he has the cure for Jacko's nose. :D

With prices like that for concerts, They actually wonder WHY people buy and trade live bootlegs....AMAZING !!!!!

[lennonfan]

well, Paul may be the only performer actually worth it to pay big $ to see. If Bocelli can get that much, I don't see why Macca can't...but then again, Sir Mac doesn't have to hire an 80 piece orchestra....
Driving Rain, again, is his best album in years!

[Paul Chang]

Mr. Mac is no Sir Paul to me for I'm not a subject to the House of Windsor. :D

If you pay over $50 to see McCartney live (or anyone else for that matter) you become part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Many people saw the Beatles for less than $10 back in the day. I love Sir Paul, but I don't agree with the prices someone's asking just to see him on a stage.

Hey Paul, we love you. We'll see you on TV.

[PsychFan]

I'm with Sckott. I'll stay at home with my records, CDs and videos of Mr. McCartney, thank you very much ...

I saw him back in '90, and I overpaid then for VERY bad seats. Never again ...

[Highway Star]

I guess that little ditty McCartney did for Her Majesty must have paid off. ;)

I agree with Sckott. If we continue pay these outragous ticket prices our kids will end up paying a months wages to see Jagger's ghost dancing to Jumping Jack Flash.

Seriously, although I'm a huge fan, for $500.00 Paul would have to be playing in my living room.

[Rspaight]

I paid the then-princely sum of $30 to see him in '90, and had a good time. Certainly not a $500 good time, though.

Back in 89-90, whenever it was that Paul last came to L.A., I managed to score four pretty decent floor seats from Ticketmaster over the phone. Since my wife and I were in the process of buying our first home at the time and because money was in short supply for us, we sold the four seats for $1600, then bought a pair of cheap seats for about $40 each. We used to joke that McCartney helped pay for the downpayment on our living room. :)

Sckott's right. $500.00 is outrageous.

I'll just buy the DVD when it comes out. Much cheaper.

[lennonfan]

the rumors I've just heard put the price of tix @ $95-185. Certainly not cheap, but not $500 either...the rumor mill also has shows in D.C. 5-1 and First Union Philly 5-3. we'll see how all those dates shake down;)

Capitalism at it's BEST! (or should that be CAPITOL-ism?)

:D

[RDK]

Besides, for $500 for a two hour show I want something more than just music if you know what i mean.... :)
