This is the best news ive heard in a long time ! I CANY F**KING WAIT FOR THIS !!!

This could be his last ever time playing in this country , this should not be missed. I still would have rathered if he hung on , and played Slane but what can ye do !!

christeb · 22-10-2009 11:16am

Ridiculously excited

*phones friend in O2 to see can she hook me up with presales-tickets....*

marwelie · 22-10-2009 12:04pm

Saw him in the RDS and Liverpool in 03. Paid 75 Euro for the priviledge of standing in a field watching the only person I would ever consider to be a living legend singing some of the greatest songs ever written then and would happily pay twice as much to see him this time. If theres anybody debating whether to go or not, all I will say is that it will be in all likelyhood the last time he will tour so dust off the credit cards and get on your phones on Monday morning (but leave a ticket for me please!) My only gripe with seeing him in 03 was that he had an autocue (honest!) and his stage banter was word for word exactly the same on each night, which was slightly disappointing. But then again he is a Beatle, he can do what he wants! As long as he leaves Hey Jude alone this time (sings it without the crappy crowd participation bit in the middle) its all good.

StillBallygowan · 22-10-2009 12:09pm

Tickets for the concert go on sale on Wednesday, October 28th at 9am and are priced between €86.25 and €156.25

Hopefuly the standing ones are cheaper

For starters, you have to be an O2 customer.

99% it's all seater. Actually make that 99.9%! I'm going for the dearest myself, not every day one gets the chance to witness Macca live

delbertgrady · 22-10-2009 2:51pm

It's €86.25 standing. Seats are €91.25, €126.25 and €156.25. Ground floor standing eliminates the first twenty rows of seats, so I'm guessing the expensive price will be between Rows 21 and 31, inclusive, with the price dropping the further back they are.

Hippo · 22-10-2009 3:19pm

4 x standing for me, cannot wait!

Might go for a seated one myself, where did you find this info?

Skid · 22-10-2009 6:00pm

Got to get to this one, probably the last to see maybe the biggest influence ever on popular music.

Anyone know how the O2 priority scheme works ? Have they sent out the codes already or if you registered now, would you get a code sent out before the pre-sale starts?

I don't have an O2 phone - might need to get a friend to help out

Cheers, Qprmeath.

Much appreciated.

22-10-2009 9:23pm

So excited for this, Macca's the one artist I've been dying to see. Pressure to get tickets will be immense though- the O2 only holds 14500, and this is one night only on an 8 night tour!

I wish he held out for Slane!!

SB-08 · 23-10-2009 1:07am

Brilliant news. I am def going to try get tickets, but I wish he was playing Croker. 13,000 O2 Tickets are going to sell out in minutes:(

delbertgrady · 23-10-2009 9:29am

I'm not denying he's a huge draw, but Slane would be way too ambitious for McCartney, as would Croke Park, even if it was fully seated. His RDS show wasn't sold out in 2003. Aiken had to put extra tiered seats on the pitch just to fill up the gaps, and there was still loads of space on the grass.
I'm much happier about an indoor show.

hidinginthebush · 23-10-2009 12:26pm

Hey lads, I have a question about the O2 blueroom. I'm not an O2 customer, but my sister is and she got the priority code thing for me. Will I need any other info apart from this code when booking tickets on Monday? Also, does having a code mean I will definitely be in for getting tickets, or do they give out more priority codes than priority tickets?

Thanks!

You only need a code and having a code doesn't guarantee tickets.

marwelie · 23-10-2009 12:53pm

As far as I'm aware there is a 48 hour period you can use the code before the tickets go on general sale. Think the Macca ticket presale starts on Monday at 9am. There are a limited amount of pre sale tickets and they are on a first come first served basis.

creativedrinker · 23-10-2009 3:34pm

im new to this pirioty thing, jus got a o2 sim card, n have it signed up for piroity tickets it but how do i get a code???

You need to send a text saying 'Paul' to 51020 and they will text you back your code.

ko4jm6y9iwv2lc · 26-10-2009 9:06am

Is anyone able to buy presale tickets this morn?

delbertgrady · 26-10-2009 9:06am

Got two standing. You're only allowed two on the presale. Clearly they expect demand to be huge and don't want a repeat of the AC/DC debacle where they only had a few thousand left 'cos everyone grabbed them before they went on general sale.

cassette50 · 26-10-2009 9:08am

I put in the code I received only to be told "The password you entered is not in our system. Please try again."

Really pissed off, especially as I had to get up early:mad:

I'll try again on Wednesday and hopefully I'll get lucky.

26-10-2009 9:12am

Went for standing myself.

Cant wait

ko4jm6y9iwv2lc · 26-10-2009 9:13am

I cant even get to the page to enter my password. Did you go in through thicketmaster or O2 website?

Billydog · 26-10-2009 9:14am

Just got 2 standing through O2 priority scheme. happy days.

Skid · 26-10-2009 9:20am

Got my standing tickets, as expected it went in a flash.

Paul McCartney's website refers to another pre-sale on Tuesday at 9 a.m., 'pre-sale link TBC'. Might be worth keeping an eye on that to see if any more details come up today.

20th December – Dublin, The O2
Pre-Sale Link: TBC
Starts: Tuesday, 27th October 9am

whatawaster · 26-10-2009 9:24am

It's only 8 weeks away i can't believe it.

What are you talking about? The AC/DC, like this pre sale, was limited to 15% of total tickets. It's irrelevant how many are allowed per person.

26-10-2009 9:46am

If you go to the O2 blueroom now it says the priorty tickets are Sold out!

Well, now that I think of it, AC/DC was only two-per-person too, so my comment is indeed irrelevant.

Make sure you enter the code case-sensitive

Corcaigh84 · 26-10-2009 10:05am

Picked up 4 standing this morning (two cards)... but can anyone verify does STAND mean standing?! I paid the standing price, but the 'Row' and 'Seats' business is making me paranoid.

Do they have to give specific numbers like this for security reasons?

Section STAND
Row G5
Seats 427 - 428

Thanks:D

creativedrinker · 26-10-2009 10:53am

i am gutted!!! had the tickets, was payin n the poxy security on visa cards came up n didnt kno the info cause it was my parents, thought id go back to bed cause im in bits from last ni got up again n all gone:(

comet · 26-10-2009 11:01am

I think there must be a big chance of at least the Saturday night being added as well. There's no way he's going to come over here just for one night with the demand that's there.

I just hit the button that said I hadn't registered for that, had to enter DOB and all went well.
