Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney is heading out on the “Got Back” tour this year, but before the trek even kicks-off, fans are calling-out the star over exorbitant ticket prices.
Tickets for the run went on sale via Ticketmaster on Tuesday, July 15. During the presale, fans reported headaches while waiting in the virtual queue — which included over 200,000 people — with wait times exceeding 90 minutes. Fans began to compare the sale to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour debacle, dubbed the “Beatlemania version.”
When fans did finally make it through the online queue, they reported egregious ticket prices. “Platinum” fan presale tickets were up-for-grabs for a whopping $1,258. Others found tickets in the nosebleeds for $622.
It’s wild. I hear Americans are in more debt than ever and nobody has any money.
Then I sign up for the Paul McCartney presale, log into Ticketmaster, and see this.
There are 210K people in front of me buying $300+ tickets.

Ahhh, yes. Another presale where I leave the sale and want to yell “fuck you @Ticketmaster” from the tallest building in LA.
$300 for last row at United Center for @PaulMcCartney is criminal.
Anyway! Time to update my Ticketmaster class action lawsuit paperwork! 🥰

Concertgoers called-on McCartney himself for using Ticketmaster’s infamous “Dynamic Pricing” model. The ticketing tactic, which increases prices based on demand, has faced widespread criticism over the past year — from fans across all genres. While its supporters argue that such practices discourage “scalping” by making it harder for people to turn a profit by reselling tickets, it has drawn extreme backlash from fans, who often feel ripped off.

McCartney’s “Get Back Tour 2025” will play 19 performances spanning the United States and Canada. The run promises a career‑spanning set that touches every era of McCartney’s unmatched songbook — from The Beatles and Wings classics to solo favorites. A general on sale is set to take place on Friday, July 18.
Additional details and official links will be posted on McCartney’s site. Tickets will also be available on secondary marketplaces like Ticket Club, where members avoid the service fees common elsewhere — visit Paul McCartney Tickets for more information.
