Brothers camp overnight outside Echo Arena to get tickets for Sir Paul McCartney concert

TWO brothers were among those camping outside the Echo Arena last night to be first in line for Sir Paul McCartney tickets.
Fans Luke and Josh Owens arrived at 10am yesterday to make sure they didn’t miss out on Sir Paul’s homecoming gig on Tuesday, December 20.Tickets for the show, the finale to the 11-date On The Run tour, went on sale at 9am this morning.

Hi peregrine9! How are you? These brothers knew what they were doing! I always had a great time camping all night in line in the parking lot while waiting to buy tickts the next morning, the parties were fun! Take care.

I've done this before for Dylan tickets, though I think online ticket purchasing has kind of put a damper on the whole camping-out-for-tickets culture.

Wow, that's very cool! I would definitely camp outside to get tickets to see Paul. :)

Hi Mairi! You're right, online purchasing put a damper on a lot of things including camping-out-for-tickets! It drove music stores out of business such as Tower Records and Borders. However, online purchases are still alive and well. So much for wild all night parties in the parking lot. Take care.
