    Ok check this out and be prepared to be píssed off:

    Paul McCartneys European Tour

    http://www.paulmccartney.com/HTML/HTMLindex.php#

    Standing prices (some examples)

    Ireland: €75

    Belgium: €35

    Barcelona: €45

    Munich: €40

    London: £35

    This is a totally unacceptable state of affairs....

    I always said I'd go see PMcC if he came to Ireland. But the ticket prices are just offensive.

    Ideally, nobody would fork out these huge sums (€105 for a seat!) and prices would be lowered but I imagine with the pent-up demand the concert will be a sell-out. [Ticketmaster.ie tells me that all the €105 tickets are sold out!]

    it's the kind of prices you'd expect to pay a tout. Another area we can add to the list of things we are ripped off on. Read an article about this yesterday and it seems the likes of Paul McCartney charges the same fee no matter where he's playing but then the organisers decide what to charge. They are using the same old excuse that insurance costs are so hign in Ireland etc etc. If you ask me, all these people see Ireland as an easy target when it comes to charging us because they all get away with it as our Government couldn't give a rats arse about us.
