McCartney Tickets Not Sold Out

Driving past Rio Tinto Stadium this morning, it occurred to me that with just days left before Paul McCartney's concert, we haven't heard nearly as much about it as it would seem we should have.

This is Paul McCartney, he of the Fab Four. Now, weren't the Beatles the biggest music act ever?

Then, this afternoon, I called the ticket office at Rio Tinto Stadium. Surprise: Tickets are still available. Three days till the July 13 concert and one of the most notable musicians in history has not sold out in his first-ever and what will surely be his only-ever concert in Utah. Oh, a lot of the reason they are still on sale is the price, $169 for the least expensive seats still available. (I also called a reseller and they had tickets for $82.) I was told less than 2,000 of the 18,000 tickets remain. Call 888-477-5849 for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of seeing McCartney in a Utah venue.

As for the lack of buzz surrounding his coming, is it that so many years have passed that even the Beatles are being forgotten?
