Pre-Sale Announcement #1 - 21-Apr-2005

The "US" tour pre-sales:
Paulmccartney.com has managed to secure 3 exclusive pre-sale windows for the forthcoming North American tour!

We wanted to offer this opportunity so that our signed-up members have the chance to purchase tickets before the public on sale takes place.

We expect the demand to be quite high but there is only a limited number of tickets available for each show within this pre-sale..

In order to avoid an influx of new members having access to these limited tickets, this offer is only being made available to all existing members, who were signed up before the "US" tour was officially announced on the 18th April 2005.

These tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately pre-sales are not available for every show, but we have tried to include as many as possible.

How to enter the pre-sale:
There will be three different pre-sales for the US tour:

- The first will be tomorrow (Friday April 22nd 2005)
- The second will be next Friday (April 29th 2005)
- The third will be on next Friday (May 6th 2005)

Different shows will be available for pre-sale on the different dates. To see what's available for tomorrow's pre-sale visit the link below and enter your unique password to get access. You can then do the same for the two following pre-sales. (See above list)

Your unique password will allow you to purchase a maximum of 2 tickets for one concert (or 1 ticket for 2 different concerts) per pre-sale, so you can use the same code for all three weeks to purchase a maximum of 6 tickets. Please keep your code safe as we can't re-issue after this email.

All three pre-sales have a window of purchase which is from 10am to 12noon (Local Time Per Venue).

Press release

McCARTNEY RETURNS TO ROCK WITH ‘US’

ALL NEW Beatles, Wings and Solo Concert Tour To Launch In Miami On September 16th; Coincides With New Album Release

Paul McCartney is ready to rock with ‘US’ this fall, nearly four years after his critically hailed, Billboard Magazine Concert Tour of the Year, ‘Back In the U.S.’ swept through the U.S.  Since his return to the stage in 2002, after a decade long performance hiatus, millions from countries across the globe have experienced his sold-out concerts.  

But Americans can expect the unexpected when ‘US’ kicks off at Miami ’s American Airlines Arena on Friday, September 16th.  The all-new tour, which is planned to coincide with a new McCartney recording, will be highlighted by the classics from McCartney’s Beatles, Wings and solo career, as well as songs that have yet to be or haven’t been performed on American soil in nearly 15 years. 

“We are looking forward to playing again in America ,” said McCartney.  “They know how to have a good time and we’re there to give it to them.  It’ll be fun to visit some new places, to see some old faces and to do things a bit differently this time.  We’re ready to rock.”

US’ will rock and roll through the United States for 28 performances that will span a nearly 11-week period before its close on Tuesday, November 29th at Los Angeles STAPLES Center .  While highlights include return visits to Boston’s Fleet Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, ‘US’ will mark a first for some.  On Thursday, October 27th and on Sunday, October 30th, Des Moines , Iowa and Omaha , Nebraska will experience their first EVER Paul McCartney performance (including Beatles and Wings).  In addition, Miami and Seattle, amongst other cities, will celebrate McCartney’s return after nearly 15 years.

If McCartney’s appearance at Superbowl XXXIX or his last concert in front of 125,000 muddied fans at England ’s prestigious Glastonbury Festival (NME Magazine’s Best Event for 2005) are any indication, fans can expect to see another groundbreaking production.  

“Only McCartney can top McCartney,” said Brad Wavra, Clear Channel Music Group.  “But if you think you’ve already seen him, think again.”

AEG/Concerts West representative Paul Gongaware added: “Half the fun of this tour is wondering which songs he’s going to play.  There’s so much that we didn’t see in 2002.”

McCartney’s band mates Abe Laboriel, Jr. (drums), Rusty Anderson (guitar), Brian Ray (guitar and bass) and Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards) return for ‘US.’   

Tickets for Paul McCartney’s ‘US’ Tour go on sale beginning Friday, April 22nd.  Check local listing for details.  For more information about ‘US’ go to www.paulmccartney.com.

Lexus will be the presenting sponsor of the ‘ US ’ Tour.   

“I’m very pleased to be a part of this new project with Lexus because I think there is a natural fit,” said McCartney.
