I saw him a couple of years ago, and it was a terrific concert! But before you complain about Buffett ticket prices, take a look at what this tour is charging!!!

Anyone know whats going on with the Atlanta tickets? I've tried to find some on ticketmaster and it wont even pull anything up. Is this show sold out already or is there a pre-sale?

I think it may be a pre-sale, because the first wave of tix is supposed to go on sale tomorrow, but I could be wrong.

Sir Paul's Big Plans

McCartney to release solo disc, launch tour in September

Three years ago, when Sir Paul McCartney last went on the road, he earned $103.3 million -- topping Pollstar's list of the year's biggest tours. Only Bruce Springsteen, with his $116 million-grossing Rising tour in 2003, has beaten the ex-Beatle since. But times have changed: The concert business fell into a malaise last summer, and even Madonna and Prince couldn't bail it out.

Can McCartney's fall arena tour of the U.S., which begins on September 16th, help reverse the trend? Some wonder if too many expensive superstar tours -- McCartney charges up to $250 per ticket, the Rolling Stones are expected to be comparable and U2 are close -- could spread fans' entertainment budgets too thin. "There's only so much money," says Dennis Arfa, agent for Metallica and others. "Those who get on sale later, they're going to be hurt by the money that's not available."

But Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG Live, which is promoting half the dates on McCartney's Lexus-sponsored tour, says that sixteen of the first seventeen dates sold out quickly. "You couldn't have a hotter ticket," he says.

McCartney plans to release an album to coincide with the tour. He reportedly intended to bring a band into the studio, but instead, his new producer, longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich, suggested he make it alone. So McCartney played most of the instruments, including fluegelhorn and drums, which he played sporadically in the Seventies while fronting Wings.

Nonetheless, since McCartney's February Super Bowl appearance, when he performed "Drive My Car," "Get Back," "Hey Jude" and "Live and Let Die," he's planning to continue playing more Beatles classics. "The interesting thing, now that I've decided it's OK to do Beatles songs, is looking at stuff that I've never done live," he says. "I don't just do a kind of very self-satisfied set for myself. I try and do stuff people are going to want to see."

I don't understand why a thread so old and burried in off topic area is brought back up by posting an article that could have been easily posted in one of the McCartney threads in the other music section. I guess a mod is going to have to move this one now.
