(Getty Images) Last update - 00:00 24/09/2008 Paul McCartney entourage's Tel Aviv hotel bill: NIS 380,000 By Noya Kohavi Tags: Israel, The Beatles, Tel Aviv  Sir Paul McCartney landed Tuesday night in Israel ahead of his sole performance in Israel, at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park Thursday. He is staying at the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv. Hotel general manager Jacob Sudri said preparations had been made for the expected crowds of fans, with extra security laid on along with McCartney's own security staff and a private security company. The 200-square-meter Royal Suite, where McCartney will be staying, has previously seen the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Roger Waters, Phil Collins, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere and Bill Clinton.

The room bill for the 21 suites, calculated according to the Dan's price list, comes to NIS 380,000. A butler will be on 24-hour duty in McCartney's suite, and his personal chef will cooperate with the hotel's chef to cater to the artist's culinary wishes. Sudri said McCartney's requirements were no different than those of any other artist of his caliber. Sources in the Israeli production company handling McCartney's performance said tickets were still available and that so far fewer than 40,000 had been sold. In the VIP section, with 1,200 seats, where tickets cost NIS 5,000, a few spaces were reportedly still available. In the stands, with room for 5,150 people and where tickets cost NIS 1,500, there were about 60 places left. About ten percent of the show's least expensive tickets, which are going for about NIS 500 each, remain unsold. Most of Tel Aviv's music clubs will either be closed tomorrow night or not hosting live shows. Among the few still scheduled to appear are Yael Dekelbaum at Levontin 7 and Ariel Silber at Carson.
