Paul McCartney Got Back Tour tickets dip to shockingly cheap last-minute prices

Last-minute Paul McCartney Got Back tour tickets on the secondary market have dropped to bargain prices, with listings starting around $33 including fees, according to a New York Post review of Vivid Seats. The price shift comes as the 2025 leg of the Got Back tour — which originally began in 2022 — moves into a fall run with high demand but more affordable options for some seats.

Across dozens of shows, prices vary widely. Some venues still command steep prices, including a Sept. 26 stop at the Santa Barbara Bowl listed at $2,112 including fees, while other dates offer lower starting prices — such as roughly $60 to $80 for many mid-October shows. In contrast, a stop at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Oct. 17 boasted a $33 starting price, underscoring the volatility of secondary-market pricing as fans weigh legacy hits against the cost of seeing the 83-year-old icon live. Prices are subject to fluctuation at checkout, and Vivid Seats offers a 100% buyer guarantee.

The New York Post compiled a complete tour calendar, cataloging dates, venues and price comparisons against the prices seen on July 18. Prices range from as low as $33 to more than $2,100 depending on location, with some newly added dates continuing to adjust.

McCartney’s 2022 MetLife Got Back concert, staged for his 80th birthday, featured a sprawling setlist that blended Beatles classics with Wings material. Set List FM documented performances such as "Can’t Buy Me Love," "Band on the Run," "Let It Be," "Hey Jude," and an encore-rich line that included songs like "Let It Be," "Live and Let Die," and, at times, extended medleys of favorites. The current 2025 leg has been described as a homecoming of sorts for fans hoping for the full-throttle, Beatles-era experience that has defined McCartney’s live shows for decades.

In May, McCartney and Barbra Streisand released their yearning duet “My Valentine.” The collaboration, a star-studded but comparatively understated release, comes from a long arc of McCartney collaborations and varied musical experiments—an approach that continues to shape his live performances and recording career.

Beyond McCartney, classic-rock artists remain active on tour in 2025. The ranks include Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant, Heart, and John Fogerty, among others, as promoters highlight veteran acts that still draw large crowds for high-energy performances across North America.

Ringo Starr also remains active this year, touring with his All Starr Band. Recent live stops, including a show at Radio City Music Hall, drew praise from press outlets for delivering the familiar mix of rock favorites and new material from Starr’s touring lineup.

The New York Post article assigns the piece to Matt Levy, the outlet’s live events reporter. It notes that deal availability can expire and that ticket prices are subject to change as markets move toward showtime. For fans chasing rare access to McCartney’s Got Back performances, the takeaway remains the same: prices swing widely, but the opportunity to see one of rock history’s most enduring legends remains a bucket-list moment for many buyers.
