Midday Tuesday (Feb. 11), it was revealed that the Beatle would perform a last-minute underplay at Manhattan’s peerless Bowery Ballroom that very evening – with tickets only available at the box office. Even with the in-person purchase requirement and a one-ticket-per-person limit, the show sold out in approximately 30 minutes.

Paul McCartney gave New Yorkers an opportunity to “come together” for one night, and one night only –– for a surprise concert at the Bowery Ballroom in Lower Manhattan.

Paul McCartney has played shows the past two nights at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. The venue has a capacity of 575 so it was a hot ticket. That is unless you are a VIP and were able to get your way in with a phone call or two.
