GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The opportunity to grab tickets to see Paul McCartney perform at Lambeau Field was opened to the public at 10 a.m., which proved to be a frantic first few hours for both McCartney fans and local ticket brokers.
A select group of people were able to get a crack at purchasing pre-sale tickets last week, but for everyone else, the floodgates opened today.
Travis Loftus, Manager of Ticket King in Ashwaubenon, said there was real excitement Monday morning.
“As soon as 10 o’clock hit we had a bunch of people calling us and actually stopping [to come] into the office,” he explains. “We’ve actually already had quite a few sales.”
Loftus says they have a wide range of tickets available.
“The tickets that we own ourselves physically were anywhere from $120 to about $1800,” he says.
Those upper scale seats will probably remain available for a while, but the same can’t be said for the more low-scale entry level tickets.
Loftus says the more economical seats have been the popular purchases, so far.
“Most people they just want to go in there to see him and just kind of get in the door,” he says. “Most people have been picking out the bottom price.”
And if that description fits you, then it might be a good idea to pull the trigger on a purchase sometime this week.
“Especially if you want to keep it under that $200 range, I’d buy them sooner rather than later,” he explains.
Also, expect frenzied sales to continue beyond Monday and into the middle part of the week.
“The sales for the next couple of days I expect them to be pretty good, just because people are still making their plans, trying to get seats, or buying them for Christmas presents,” he says. “There probably will be a little lull after the Holidays as people will pick at them here and there.”
It was announced last Tuesday that Paul McCartney will be performing for the first time ever in Green Bay at Lambeau Field Saturday, June 8, 2019.
