PAUL McCARTNEY | Police Threatening To Arrest Fans

Paul McCartney super-fansite Macca Central is reporting that police are threatening to arrest fanatics who camp out for tickets. Here's what they're reporting:

Some fans who got word last night of the wristband giveaway for the NYC Secret GIG at the Highline Ballroom, got to the location and camped out overnight. This morning a fan told me they were harassed by police and threatened with arrest if they don't leave. The wristband giveaway will take place the day of the show Wednesday at 12:30pm.

Fans are determined not to leave and loose their spot. What makes matters worse is the area is under heavy construction and the police are no doubt concerned as there are safety issues. Plus the fact that there is another show tonight at the Highline (The Citizens Band) so there is no where to line up. The Highline Ballroom people have been quite co-operatiive and in fact as of 8am local NY time, they have allowed some of the crowd entry to the venue to get them off the streets.

The Highline Ballroom does shows in two formats with seats or standing. With seats capacity is 390 and standing, capacity is 650. I would imagine the balcony area would be exclusive to VIPs. The Highline Ballroom located at 431 W 16th St, New York, NY 10011, between 9th and 10th.

Hey - I was waiting since around 4am and yes the police came and let us know we would get summonses if we stayed. We stayed. When the line got to 50 the venue just wanted us out of there so they printed standard looking tickweb tickets that guarantee you a bracelet tomorrow at 12:30.
