TICKET GONE

TICKET WAS GIVEN 2 SOMEONE ELSE. I HAD BOUGHT 2 TICKETS 4 THE 21ST (1 4 MYSELF AND THEN 1 2 SELL) PAID £300 4 THE 2 OF THEM. THE TICKETS DIDNT MATERALISE AND IN THE MEANTIME HAD SOLD THE OTHER TICKET, SO BECAUSE OF LETTING SOMEONE ELSE DOWN I GAVE THE PERSON THE TICKET 4 THE 20TH FREE OF CHARGE AND IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A REFUND SORTED OUT. THANK U 4 ALL THE REPLYS AND SORRY 4 THE WHOLE MIX UP.

Hmm, not sure if I like this idea. It should be first come first served, otherwise you are making people, even worse: orgers, beg for tickets. Then u decide on a winner. I am looking for 20th Sept, main show tix, but will pass on this offer. confused

I think it should definitely be me... why?

Because I have loved Prince since 1974, but have never ever seen him live. It's my dying wish. I have no arms, no legs, no digestive system, I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. I have no living relatives, and I depend on the kindness of strangers.

Infact, I managed to get 10 front row seats for the 21st (via a competition on Radio Norwich), but my doctor has told me the gangrene will likely have killed me off before 8pm that evening. It was his very words of advice that my best case scenario would be to find a kindly soul to give me a freee ticket for the 20th, and then - with the man in the black robes and scythe approaching - I should probably just give away my 10 front row seats to the last gig to the kindly soul who gave me the ticket.

10 front row seats I have. For the last gig. For a kindly soul.

Alright, I'll have a go!

I already have a ticket for the 20th so this isn't even about me. My best friend has never seen Prince but adores him and she has had to sit and listen to me gushing about the 4 gigs (5 including tonight) that I've seen so far. It's killing me to keep going without her. She's a music teacher and a classical pianist and frankly I can't think of anyone I know who would appreciate this gig more. She deserves to feel what I'm feeling, see what I'm seeing.

In addition, I work for an adult magazine and we run a massive fetish club once a year and if you give me this ticket I will happily arrange freebies for you. When all else fails, try bribery I say! biggrin

Sorry, I guess if you're offering it for free that's okay. So why should I get the ticket...? `I would die 4 u', althought that might cause `controversy', you can read it in the `morning papers', or under a `blue light'. But mainly because it's gonna b a `beautiful night', and I'll wear my rasberry beret especially 4 u wink

Prince puts on the best party ever and its my birthday on the 19th so would be a great to celebrate on the following night.
"C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince -
"Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please

Loved the bit about typing with his tongue. Mind you for a more honest reply you would be hard pushed not to choose aymiderham. Depends what sort of response you were after, a good laugh (McD) or sheer honesty (aymiderham).

Hi holyriver,

Here's my shot at the prize, and I'll start with something you probably won't hear too much in this ticket race -

I have never seen Prince perform live. Not only not at the O2. Ever.

I've only recently got back to London from a job that took me away for the Summer only to hear from friends who had been to O2 gigs already how fantastic he was and it seriously grabbed my imagination. Since then I've been scouring eBay and checking TM with no luck. Frankly I can't afford to pay over face value for a ticket; it's a luxury to even consider splashing out to go at all, so eBay has gotten increasingly impossible (anyone else see the ridiculous £3000.00 Buy in now for the 21st tonight?? eek ) But... I think about what my friends said, and I've been listening to the albums again.... and now I just have to go.

Purple Rain was my favourite album when I was at school, me and my best friend used to sing "Let's Go Crazy" at each other all the time.... you know the one... Dr. Everythin'll be alright.... smile I suppose you could say I've been a Prince fan for a long time (I'm now 30) and I'll kick myself if I lost the opportunity to see him performing when he is so clearly at the absolute peak of his live performance (and judging from the set-lists performing all the songs I would love to hear him play).

I'm a brand new member of this forum and have been sitting on my hands waiting a very long and painful five days to be allowed to post and orgnote, and I've watched so many ticket offers going by that I would have jumped at the chance to take up. Tonight, *this* post is my very first post on the forum. Hi everyone!

So, that's my story. Sorry to go on... obviously I really want this ticket, but if it's not me I would ask anyone else who has read this to bear me in mind if they suddenly have a spare ticket for any of the three remaining shows. I live in London - I can get there with a hour or so to spare. And of course I would be massively grateful.

Cheers for now -
Dominic. smile

I would like (correction: LOVE LOVE LOVE!) to get this ticket, because:

1) I have managed to combine extreme dedication and quite a bit of bad luck so far this tour, so it would be fantastic if my luck finally turned! I've done 3 separate seven-hour round trips to try and see Prince at the aftershows, and he's not been at any of them so far. Plus - the one main gig I did manage to get tickets for, I missed because of a RIDICULOUSLY delayed train from Sheffield! Also - for what it's worth - I've never won anything (whether it be a school raffle or that Darling Nikki I had a crush on all the way through college), and I really need to reverse the trend of a lifetime.

Oh well. This isn't a pity competition, and I realise I need other reasons. So:

2) Prince was my first love and will probably be my last (that Darling Nikki girl was cute, admittedly, but she didn't have a patch on the Purple One). Imagine the amount of gratitude, relief and sheer joy the average fan would feel at winning this ticket, then multiply it by ten, then add a raspberry beret, then multiply it by 1999, and you've got a pretty good idea of how I'll feel if I win.

And last, but very much not least, reason number 3 - the reason to end all reasons:

3) Last week I actually got hold of a bargain secondhand and oh-so-funky-purple suit, and if I win I'll wear it at the gig and dance my arse off!

HEY WAIT ONE MINUTE HOLYRIVER, MY BROTHER TOLD ME HE ALREADY HAS THIS TICKET, IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY A GUY WHO HE THOUGHT WAS TRYING TO RIP HIM OFF ON EBAY, HE SAID HE BOUGHT A TICKET FROM HIM FOR THE 21ST FOR £150 BUT THIS GUY DID NOT HAVE THE TICKET TO SELL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MY BROTHER SAID HE GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIM LAST WEEK AND ASKED FOR HIS MONEY BACK, THIS GUY (I THINK HE IS CALLED JOHN FROM IRELAND) TOLD MY BROTHER HE WOULD GET THE MONEY BACK BY THIS WEEKEND BUT HE IS STILL WAITING AND IS WORRIED HE MIGHT NOT GET IT AT ALL.

ANYWAY THIS JOHN FROM IRELAND SENT HIM THIS E-TICKET FOR FREE AS A SWEETNER I SUPPOSE AND IT IS FOR 20TH SEPTEMBER BLOCK 101 ROW J SEAT 38. MY BROTHER HAS THE PDF AND I HAVE SEEN IT…. HEY HOLYRIVER ARE YOU JOHN FROM IRELAND…IF SO MY BRO NEEDS HIS MONEY BACK ASAP OR HE WILL COME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR, HE HAS YOUR ADDRESS IN TYRONE SO BE WARNED AND I LIVE IN LIMEHILL NOT FAR FROM YOU

FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY WIN THIS BOGUS TICKET PLEASE DON’T TRY TO USE IT YOU MAY BE DISAPPOINTED, THIS IS VERY GENUINE I PROMISE, I LOVE ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE ORG AND WOULD NOT LIE 2 U.

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT I GOTTA STRESS THE POINT

Wow, royalbadness, that doesn't sound good!
But.... how can ur brother know for sure that his e-ticket is the only one around for this particular seat?? This "John" may have sent this ticket out to dozens of people!
If I were ur brother, I would make sure I was the first one in the O2... so his barcode is the first 2 be scanned for this seat...
