Its okay, I found out the tickets go on sale on the 8th March and also on the day of the gig the doors open at 12.45pm Early will be a long day for everyone especially if the alcohol is flowing

For anyone after tickets for Hyde Park, if they wouldn't mind leaving it for five minutes on Friday so I can get them first, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Would like tickets for Cardiff even though IOW and London are closer.
But funds are low so probably not this year...
He was amazing at the O2 though, so anyone who is able get tickets is in for a real treat. Songs to be performed that haven't been heard live before??
Right Macca don't forget you have to make time to squeeze in a new album...

Me too, never seen a concert in Hyde Park, just wondering about upgrading the ticket or not to one of the VIP packages?

Is it worth it? Is it the best view from the grandstand? & is the 'Chill Out' area CoOl! Anyone used one of these VIP Packages?

Wonder who else will play on Sunday?

Anyone any ideas?

Thx

Just got tickets for Hampden in the front central pitch block!!!! Row ZE, what ever that means, probably Row 30, but it will still be amazing!!

Macca and Michael Jackson were the 2 acts I said to myself I would pay any amount to see live. MJ died 2wks before I was due to see him (and I would've been seeing him again last night).

So if Paul McCartney dies on June 2nd, I apologise greatly.

Personally it's not worth it.

Hyde Park is full GA, so you can turn up when doors open and get a nice position. Provided you're not in the first couple of rows, until 6pm you will have a relaxing day - many people take a picnic!

Not last year. At noon when the doors opened there was an almighty charge to the stage for Springsteen and no-one moved for hours. Hated it, no water, no space and worst of the lot - had to listen to James Morrison in the rain.

The VIP area is far away from the stage though, so not worth the cash.

I was in the first ten rows and moved about without problems under DMB started.

Bruce fans are very defensive about their positions, hence why the queue started on the Friday night.

Got tickets for Cardiff through the advance sale when they went on sale on Friday. By the time I got home from work and logged on all of the front blocks had gone but got the second blocks on the pitch. £85 a ticket but I think it will be well worth it. Anyway my wife has never seen him live so I told her it was a special treat for her. Should earn me a few brownie points.

McCartney will be the second live act that I'll have seen in Scotland, England & Wales having seen him with Wings at the Glasgow Apollo in the 70's and at Wembley & the Royal Albert Hall after I moved to London.

I've got tickets for Cardiff, pity my parents didn't have an AmEx card though, now we have to make do with tiered seating on the South Stand, which is quite far back.
