Hollywood Boulevard is about to get a Beatle in club mode. Sir Paul McCartney will play two intimate nights at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood on March 27 and 28, a rare up-close chance to see one of rock’s longest-running legends in a room that usually hosts bands still on the way up. Registration for tickets opens Tuesday and runs through Wednesday, with registered fans to be notified by email the following week. Selected registrants who receive an invitation will get a private, one-time purchase link, with tickets extremely limited and capped at two per fan. Both shows will be phone-free, with devices locked in Yondr pouches, and organizers are telling fans to steer clear of third-party sellers.
As laid out on Paul McCartney’s official site, the run is billed "PAUL McCARTNEY ROCKS THE FONDA" and is presented by MPL in association with Goldenvoice and Marshall Arts USA. The announcement notes these will be McCartney’s first live performances since the finale of his Got Back tour in 2025 and directs fans to register via AXS for a chance to buy tickets. The site is clear that registration is only the first step and does not guarantee the ability to purchase tickets.
How Fair AXS registration works
Ticketing runs through AXS using its Fair AXS registration system, which opens Tuesday at 9 a.m. PT and closes Wednesday at 10 p.m. PT. Registrants must provide a valid credit card and billing address, but nobody is charged unless they actually buy tickets. Registered fans will be notified by email between March 24 and March 25 about their status, and those selected will receive a private, one-time purchase link tied to their AXS account. Purchases are first-come, first-served and limited to two tickets per fan. Full registration rules and the sign-up page are at AXS.
What the Fonda means for fans
The Fonda Theatre is a classic Hollywood venue, roughly a 1,200-capacity room, so these dates offer a far more intimate setting than McCartney’s usual stadium stops. Operated by Goldenvoice and sitting right on Hollywood Boulevard, the near-century-old theater has a history of hosting major acts in a compact space where virtually every spot feels close to the stage. For more on the venue itself, see the Fonda Theatre and its profile on Wikipedia.
Tips for buyers
First rule of Beatle-size demand in a club-size venue: avoid the resale traps. The official announcement from Paul McCartney warns that fake tickets will not be honored and that unauthorized transfers may be refused at the door. AXS rules also note that multiple registrations for the same date will be disqualified, so register only once and keep a close eye on your spam folder for invitation emails.
If you get an invite, be ready to move quickly. Tickets are digital, non-transferable, and delivered via AXS Mobile ID, so make sure your AXS app is installed, and your payment information is current before the purchase window opens. Full event and ticketing details are listed on AXS.
Local outlets did not take long to jump on the news; KTLA highlighted the tight registration window and strict ticketing process. For fans hoping to squeeze into one of these rare, club-scale McCartney nights, the AXS registration window opens Tuesday, so set those alarms and get your account in order.
