On February 9th, 1964, The Beatles performed “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You,” “She Loves You,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Sixty-one years later, Paul McCartney is still going strong.
Ticket prices for Paul McCartney tour
The legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer announced the latest leg of his ‘Got Back Tour’ in July, which originally began in 2022. As expected, the demand for tickets was high.
NY Post last reported on ticket prices for his concert on July 18th, the lowest price found for any show was $167, including fees, on Vivid Seats.
However, in the days leading up to the tour’s September 26th launch date, prices have, ahem, ‘Got Back’ to something fans can afford.
Based on the findings, ‘Got Back’ ’25 prices now start at $33 including fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication. Don’t say Paul never “gave you your money.”
Other shows have tickets priced anywhere from $60 to $2,112, including fees. While some performances remain expensive and not all prices have decreased, they may drop in the days leading up to the shows, similar to how ticket prices for the first few concerts have significantly declined. Regardless of the cost of admission, these performances will undoubtedly be unforgettable and worthy of a bucket list.
83-year-old Sir Paul won’t be around forever and this could be the last tour where he pulls out all the stops like he did on his ’22 run when he regularly performed 30+ songs per show including Beatles favorites like the “Abbey Road Suite,” “Let It Be,” “Hey Jude,” “Blackbird” and, of course, “Get Back” along with solo/Wings classics “Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Band On The Run” and “Live and Let Die” among others.
It can pay to wait for tickets
Believe it or not, waiting on tickets sometimes pays off — especially for major rock acts. The X account @UnderFaceValue frequently monitors pricing anomalies and late-release tickets, flagging instances where scalpers or resellers lower prices as showtime nears. For example, they’ve exposed situations where tickets listed above $900 dropped to more reasonable levels just hours before a concert.
Why does this happen? In some markets, demand softens or last-minute sellers panic, pushing their markups down. Promoters and venues may also release “holdback” or “papering” tickets near showtime to fill empty seats. In more than one tour cycle, fans reported snapping up 40–60% off resale tickets on the day of show — deals that never existed during pre-sale windows. On that same account, Under Face Value has documented such price collapses across multiple tours, urging fans to “wait if you can” in cases where early resale looks overpriced.
So while it’s risky, for certain tours it’s not unusual to see dramatic discounts late — if you monitor resale channels closely.
