At first, it seems a few people didn't realize the presale was today. It continues through 10 p.m. Thursday EST/3 a.m. Friday UK time. Email your successes and otherwise to beatlesexaminer@gmail.com.

From Jim Marien:

Presale for the Maryland show (Washington) started today.
I received an email from the Fan Club. The presale foes
through Ticketmaster. I'm not close enough to go but I
did try to see what tickets I might be available. First
section, right of stage, field level !! Apparently not too
many people know about the presale today.

From Frank C. Branchini:

I got a seat in section B3 on the field for the Paul McCartney show at FedEx Field just outside Washington. This is the second row of sections back from the stage but absolutely dead center. 

I tried both on line and, while I was waiting, by phone. I have four different phone numbers for Ticketmaster and never connected to anything. Got right through online and was given a 15 minute waiting time. It connected a bit short of 15 minutes. I then went back through the system to buy a second ticket and came up with a 7 minute wait for a seat only 5 rows further back in B3. Had the two tickets at 10:24.

I can't afford this but I am thrilled. 

It is going to be a great Summer! 

Cheers! 

From Rachel:

Hi Steve,

 

I had no idea the presale was going to be today.  I was out all morning and as soon as I got

home, I saw the email so I immediately went to work.  I turned down about 6 different ones but

finally settled on section A1, row 16, seats 7-6.  They're $250 each.  At first, they said I couldn't

get two together at that price but I guess persistence pays off!
