An extra 300 seats have opened up for Paul’s much-anticipated performance at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

The
newly available tickets are part of a block reserved by the former
Beatle’s “Out There” tour that weren’t filled, said Brad Murphy,
executive director of the Adams Center at the University of Montana.
Most
of the tickets are in the floor or bowl areas and cost $150 to $250,
with a limited number of tickets still available at $49.50.
Nearly 25,000 tickets sold the first day of availability, May 9.
“We were down to just a few,” Adams Center executive director Brad Murphy said about ticket availability before.
About
half the tickets sold went to Missoulians, Murphy said, adding that
everyone who stood in line at the Adams Center Box Office May 9 received
a ticket.
“Given the magnitude of this sale, we’ve had very few
issues and I think that’s a real testament to our ticketing system and
our staff,” he said.
While most of the tickets through GrizTix and
vendors have been snapped up, the secondary market is going strong,
Murphy said, warning people of scalping.
As of Friday morning,
hundreds of entries existed on the Missoula Craigslist site for tickets
and hundreds more were available through stubhub.com.
If people are uncertain if a ticket is legitimate, they can contact the box office at 243-4051 or stop by, Murphy said.
Buzz about the show has been continual, and Murphy said he’s certain all the remaining tickets will sell.
Ticket
sales put the show at the largest concert in the state’s history. Just
more than 23,100 tickets sold for a 2006 performance by the Rolling
Stones, Murphy said.
Support from ticket buyers and the community solidifies Missoula as a destination that can host large shows, he said.
“It’s all about your community buying those tickets and welcoming these artists to the city,” he added.
Tickets are available at griztix.com, the Adams Center Box Office, MSO Hub, Worden’s Market, Southgate Mall and 1-888-666-8262.
