Music icon Paul McCartney treated a lucky crowd of 500 to a two-hour set that spanned 60-years of hits — for just $50 a ticket!

Paul McCartney’s previous New York-area performance took place three years ago at MetLife Stadium, capacity 82,500. His surprise show Tuesday night at the Bowery Ballroom fit, at most, 575. It was probably less than that since McCartney’s sound board and gear — too much to fit backstage — occupied a portion of the floor space at the venerable downtown theater.

Paul McCartney announced a second surprise show at the Bowery Ballroom slated for Wednesday night, but tickets were quickly snapped up. The East Village venue was completely sold out by 11 a.m.

McCartney’s performance comes after fans were left in a frenzy when he was spotted at the Super Bowl. The singer enjoyed his Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Paul McCartney is giving New Yorkers an opportunity to “come together” for one night, and one night only. The Beatles legend announced on Instagram Tuesday morning that he’ll be playing a surprise show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City later that evening.
