Paul McCartney is set to embark on his “Got Back” tour across North America in the fall of 2025, showcasing his extensive musical legacy. However, the tour’s ticket sales have raised eyebrows among fans due to the high prices and a frustrating purchasing experience.
Tickets for the tour went on presale via Ticketmaster, where fans faced long wait times—often exceeding 90 minutes—to secure their spots. The presale was met with comparisons to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ticketing issues, leading fans to express their outrage on social media. Reports revealed “platinum” tier tickets priced at around $1,258, while even the most affordable options in the nosebleeds started at $622, prompting many to voice their disappointment with the ticketing system.
Critics have pointed fingers at Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model, which adjusts ticket prices based on demand—a practice that has sparked widespread controversy across the music industry. Fans are questioning the fairness of such pricing, especially as they struggle with rising costs of living. This sentiment reflects similar concerns raised by concertgoers during previous major ticket releases.
Despite these challenges, McCartney’s tour promises to be a remarkable experience, featuring a mix of his timeless classics from The Beatles, Wings, and his solo career. The general sale for tickets is scheduled for July 18, giving fans another opportunity to join in on this monumental event.
As fans prepare for the unveiling of the full tour, the hope remains that they can find ways to enjoy McCartney’s music without feeling financially burdened by ticket prices. McCartney’s shows are always a celebration of music history, and many are eager to see him live, regardless of the challenges faced in acquiring tickets.
Upcoming tour dates include performances in cities like Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, and Chicago, offering numerous opportunities for fans across North America to witness this iconic artist live. For those interested in securing tickets, further details will be available on McCartney’s official website and through secondary ticket marketplaces where fans may find options with lower service fees.
