McCartney is schedule to play three UK tour dates in Liverpool, London and Glawsgow to support his new album Egypt Station. 

Tickets were set to go on sale at 10am, but fans claimed that despite waiting at their laptops since 9am, they were unable to get tickets. The second they got through to the purchase page, tickets were apparently “sold out.”

Vibe Tickets publicly expressed their irritation at the recurring issue: “Paul McCartney tickets went on sale at 10AM this morning, 3 dates Glasgow, Liverpool, London,” they said. “Fans have been on Ticketmaster and AXS since 10, and are left empty-handed. The same old story! This has to change!”

Disappointed fans took to social media to share their outrage. They felt particularly disappointed that after the official tickets had sold out, plenty became available on Viagogo immediately.

One fan shared their anger on Twitter: “Been waiting since 9.30 to get @PaulMcCartney tickets as soon as it turned 10am all tickets had gone.”

Another said: “Maddening! How is this right? None available to fans at 10am on the official @TicketmasterUK & ASX_UK sites yet plenty available immediately on viagogo. What a complete racket!”

“Absolutely disgusting. @PaulMcCartney tickets seemingly “sold out” at 10:01, loads on Viagogo by 10:02 though and look how many are there by 10:28,” said another.

According to McCartney’s official website, the audiences present at his concerts in Quebec City, Montreal, Winnipeg and Edmonton will have the opportunity to hear some of the tracks from his upcoming album Egypt Station. The website also notes that it’s been more than five years since the 76-year-old musician played in any of these cities.

“We’ve always had such a fantastic time playing shows in Canada. We can’t wait to return in September for what should be another special run of shows,” McCartney said in a statement. “We are looking forward to freshening up our show and playing some of our songs from the new album alongside those songs we know you like to hear. Get ready to rock Canada!”

The rest of the dates for Freshen Up tour will be announced soon.

Besides these four dates in Canada, Paul McCartney will also perform at Austin City Limits Festival, which is scheduled to take place in October. This will be McCartney’s only festival in North America for this year.
