Even if a show is sold out, tickets are sometime released on Ticketmaster.com on the day of the event and many times even for sold out shows if you visit the venue box office the day of the event you can get good seats.

Additionly, you can go down to the venue on the day of the show and try to buy extra tickets from folks who have too many tickets or had someone who does not showup. Ticket scalpers at the show try to low-ball those with extra tickets and offer much less than face value. You can step it and offer face value and usually the scalper will not offer more money for the ticket.

McCartney Returns to Washington D.C., the home of the Beatles’ First Performance on American Soil, for Stadium Concert

Tickets Go On Sale Friday, June 26 at 10:00 A.M EST

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Paul McCartney will perform at FedExField – the home of the Washington Redskins – on Saturday, August 1.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 26 at 10:00 A.M. ET and are available at all Ticketmaster locations, by calling 800-551-SEAT, and online at LiveNation.com. Tickets will be available at the FedExField Box Office on June 26 only. This concert is rain or shine.

This concert event at FedExField marks the latest in a series of landmark performances that link the beloved Beatle with Washington D.C., beginning with The Beatles’ first concert on American soil in 1964 at the Washington Coliseum, and continuing with McCartney’s critically acclaimed appearances in the District over the past forty-five years.

“This will be a great concert by one of the world’s most-loved performers,” said Daniel M. Snyder, Owner of the Washington Redskins and FedExField. “I’ve been a fan of Paul’s all my life, so it’s going to be a memorable night for us all.”

The FedExField concert on August 1 will feature classics from McCartney’s extensive catalog, including Beatles, Wings and solo career hits as well as selections from his most recent album Electric Arguments, released under his alias The Fireman.

Additionally, the FedExField show will be among McCartney’s first U.S. appearances since his recent headlining stand at the first night of this year’s Coachella festival and the same weekend’s record-breaking one-off opening of the new Joint in Las Vegas. Reactions to the two sold out 2.5 hour performances were unanimously ecstatic from fans and critics alike:

“McCartney remains a sharp and agile performer, his voice as supple, warm and elastic as ever…Macca signatures Let It Be and The Long and Winding Road…still have the power to raise gooseflesh.” –USA TODAY

“The verdict from his Coachella debut on Friday? Never underestimate the power of a Beatle…The night belonged to Paul.” –LOS ANGELES TIMES

“For almost two and a half hours, he had the attention of what seemed to be the entire multigenerational festival” –THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Everything you could ask for in a McCartney set. Stunning. Beautiful.”–LA WEEKLY

“The concert of a lifetime” –LAS VEGAS CITYLIFE

The FedExField concert will also come on the heels of Paul McCartney’s three sold-out shows at the new Citi Field in New York, with the public snapping up tickets minutes after they went on sale.

McCartney gave his first ever American performance at the Washington Coliseum on February 11, 1964, a concert so historic that it was released to the public on DVD in 2003. Joined by the Caravelles, Tommy Rose, and the Chiffons, the Fab Four played to a capacity crowd of over 8,000 people, heralding the arrival of Beatlemania in the United States.

The show on August 1 at FedExField marks McCartney’s first performance in Washington D.C. since October 8, 2005. Dave McKenna raved about the show in his review for the Washington Post, stating “folks came to hear McCartney sing, in a voice still strong enough to leave listeners awestruck.”
