Macca fans left outside

Fans of Paul McCartney were left queuing outside in the rain at his Zurich concert, with some not entering until 30 minutes into the set, and promoters GoodNews have yet to comment.

Paul McCartney fans have hit out at the Swiss promoters who staged the Zurich date on the former Beatle's European tour after they were left waiting in the rain as Macca took to the stage.

McCartney played at the city's Letzigrund Stadium on Wednesday night. Reports suggest that security was so tight all audience members had to enter the venue through one entrance. As a result a large queue built up and many fans were still waiting to get in as the show began - some fans did not get into the venue until thirty minutes into the set.

One fan told local magazine 20min: "It's an absolute scandal. We were standing outside in the pouring rain and we could hear that the concert had already started inside. And this is after we paid over £60 pounds for our tickets."

Promoters GoodNews are yet to comment, although they earlier admitted that they had only sold half of the 4000 tickets for the event.
