An open letter to Sir Paul

[Doctor Phibes]

If his songs are anything like his posts it’s no wonder he can’t afford a decent ticket

[George K]

@Copper said in An open letter to Sir Paul:

I thought any liberal or Californian could request equity.

Close, but no cigar.

They can demand request it for others, not themselves.

[Horace]

Vegan bass player and song writer who can't afford $700 to give his parents the treat of their lives. They probably would prefer a son who wasn't a loser, rather than McCartney tickets.

[Ivorythumper]

Life is cheap, but the accessories will kill you.

[Mik]

The invisible hand at work.

[Klaus]

Capitalism. It's fair.

If the tickets were $20, he wouldn't have gotten a ticket either, because they would have been sold out.

[jon-nyc]

What a whiney little bitch.

He’s complaining to McCartney about gas prices?

[Copper]

He's begging for tickets

[taiwan_girl]

I wonder how much control the singer has over ticket prices. Do they really have a say in it?

[Axtremus]

Just watch and listen to the recordings later.

Yes. They can dictate the prices in fact, since they have the authority to do the concert or not. If they dictate too low a price, they might not be able to pull the concert together, but I’m sure it would be possible to hold the concert profitably for all involved parties, for a much lower price. Actually there is probably only a small number of people whose compensation is related to ticket price, McCartney among them.
