Paul McCartney is coming to a nearby city in the spring of 2019. A few Fridays ago, at 10 oclock in the morning, tickets went on sale.
I logged on to Ticketmaster and received a message that 2000 and something people are ahead of me. At about 11:00, I think it was, I got into Ticketmaster
Only tickets still available were way expensive. I dont remember what but they were way up in the hundreds.
Im thinking it was a day later I got an email from Ticketmaster saying some tickets were still available. I looked into it and the cheapest ones were if I recall correctly $225. This isnt NYC or LA or Chicago; its Greenville, SC.
By the way, before the tickets went on sale, the cheapest ones up in the nosebleed section were like $75. I wouldve been willing to pay more than $75. But no way Im going to pay $225 for the damn nose bleed section.
Fuck Ticketmaster
ive heard that they are scalping their own tickets and I believe it. At least I did see Paul on his Out There tour a few years ago.
