No McCartney pre-sale for Rider season ticket holders

Apr 23, 2013 | 10:45 AM

Rider fans will not be getting a leg up on everyone else when it comes to this summer’s Paul McCartney concert.

The former Beatle will play one of just three Canadian shows this summer at Mosaic Stadium on Aug. 14. Neil Donnelly with Evraz Place, the operator of the Brandt Centre and manager of Mosaic Stadium events, says there won’t be an early pre-sale for season ticket holders like there has been for other big events in the past.

“I think (the concert promoter is) just making sure as many fans and as many people have equal opportunities as possible to get to it,” he explained in an interview Tuesday. “So I think if it was something that restricted that other people can’t get on they weren’t interested.”

There will be a pair of pre-sales held through other avenues, however. Paul McCartney’s fan club and concert ticketing web site TicketMaster will both hold their own later this week.

“Both are free and open to the general public,” Donnelly explains, although he admits only a limited number of tickets will be made available for those promotions.

You can sign up for McCartney’s fan club through his web site. That will give you access to the pre-sale on Thursday morning. No time has been given for that so far. Donnelly says Facebook users simply have to “like” Live Nation’s page to retrieve a password for the TicketMaster event, which starts at 10 a.m. Regina time on Friday.

Regular ticket sales start Monday at 10 a.m.
