I bought discounted tickets off craigslist but there is some confussion about the entrance times. The guy that I bought these tickets from, said that entrance times had been changed around a bit. Can anyone tell me when the REAL admission times are and how to tell if you have that actual ticket in hand because so many of us purchased them through a third person broker. Thanks!!!! We are also bringing our teenage kids with us. One who has no idea of who Sir Paul is and doesn't care for the Beatles And our other child who doesn't show interest in most music, is a fan of Paul McCartney and willing to pay for his own ticket and by the way already had a fav song before I asked him :) I can't figure out my kids but we are in this together, attending a concert as a family. My husband & I are used to hearing our kids whine about all kinds of needless things. Tomorrow, they will have justifable cause and its our intention to give our standard answer of the day, ALL day long,"Just deal with it." This is Paul McCartney, Dad & I really want to see and enjoy this concert and YOU are going to allow us to enjoy this concert". These kids have been instructed to not bother us unless they are truly in dire need of medical attention- are you bleeding? Who died? Is the house on fire? So we are going to have fun and our kids are not allowed to ruin it; no matter how unentertained they find themselves. Good bless, smile and enjoy it. If not, good bless, smile, deal w/ it and complain to your therapist when you get home. We are planning a happy day.

I can't remember whether I bought through the Amex pre-sale or the conservancy. Does anyone know how to tell whether tickets were bought through the Park Conservancy (and give you early admission)?

If he's getting old and doesn't sing as beautifully as before, he's still pretty good and his legend and all that he represents are good enough reasons for us to go to this concert. C'mon, $100 is nothing. I'm flying 4,6 miles from São Paulo to Atlanta just to see him.

Not limit-pushing at all. :) I talked with the folks at Piedmont Park today, and they said seat cushions are fine, and even cushions with a back support. The key is that they can't have arms and legs. They want to avoid objects that can be used as projectiles, and things that would get in the way of people making a quick exit, in case of emergency. Here's my latest post about what to know pre-McCartney concert: http://blogs.ajc.com/inside-access/2009/08/11/what-you-need-to-know-before-the-paul-mccartney-concert-street-closings-weather-how-to-get-there-what-to-bring/ Hi Judy!

And don't even mention sitting on someone's shoulders...that would take 2 hours and an act of God. Our backs and bottoms will probably pay for it afterwards, but it will be great.
