I read that Prince was impressed by Selah Sue last november,

I think he likes her last name.

SWOP TICKETS?

I have two arena standing plus-tickets for Prince on the Sunday show, NSJ. I want to swop them with seating plus-tickets. Only tickets in 1.ring quite close to the stage are of interest. Send me an orgnote if you want to swop.

What do we have to expect from the shows?? I really hope for different setlist with changing guest musicians and some experimental stuff. Please not three greatest hits shows in a row. The NSJ is a place where you can try something....

Any opinions?

Well since he's doing a few other shows in Europe as well, I think we'll get something similar to the LA shows meaning a set of songs he'll be playing every night and then changing things up with a few other songs.

NSJ may be a place where you can try anything, BUT he'll be playing for a crowd of 9,000 every night. That means there will be a lot of people there who will be pissed if he'll play shit they've never heard before.

Around 05:10 (CEST) this morning there were some arena plus-tickets available for all three days...

ALSO "ONLY PRINCE" TIX...for € 89.00...I got 2 standing for saturday:-o

Hiya guys. Does anyone know of a good hotel to stay in Rotterdam? I'll be flying from London to Amsterdam on Sat 9th, then I plan to get a train to Rotterdam on Sunday 10th for the concert. I've seen the Van der Valk Rotterdam-Ridderkerk hotel for 89 Euros. Does anyone know if it's any good and how far away from the Ahoy it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Toegangsinformatie Prince plusconcert‏
North Sea Jazz Update

Beste kaartkoper,

Hierbij willen wij u extra informeren over uw entreebewijzen voor het plusconcert van Prince en op welke manier u de zaal binnenkomt.

Uw toegang vindt plaats via de hoofdingang van het Sportpaleis Ahoy. Het concert zal plaatsvinden in de "Maas" waar eerder op de avond ook concerten plaatsvinden.

Na afloop van het laatste concert voor de show van Prince, zal de hele zaal ontruimd worden. Dat betekent dat u, ook al heeft u een geldig entreebewijs voor het concert, toch verzocht wordt om de zaal te verlaten via de uitgangen achterin de zaal, zodat deze in gereedheid gebracht kan worden voor het concert. Dit geldt voor zowel zit- als staanplaatsen. Wij verwachten dat de zaal circa 45 minuten voor aanvang van het concert van Prince open zal gaan, waarna u plaats kunt nemen in de zaal.

Niet alle standaardingangen zoals u die tijdens het festival gewend bent te gebruiken, zullen voor dit concert gebruikt worden. Met borden wordt aangegeven via welke ingang u naar binnen kunt. Ook kunt u bij de informatiestand bij de ingang van het festival op de dag van uw bezoek hierover meer informatie krijgen.

Check out Art Hotel at Maashaven Metro station. Ahoy is like 10-15 minutes walk from there. Or just one metro stop.

Oh, I meant the part of having to get out of the venue, and maybe queue up to get back in, I was hoping on some advantage for the people already inside.

That is not how I read the e-mail. It doesn't say you have to leave the venue and queue up outside with the Prince Only ticketholders. Those who are present at the NSJ and have a Prince ticket will have to leave the hall 'Maas' where Prince will perform. Those people will have access from inside the venue to the 'Maas' (and need to queue up with the other NSJ attendees who go to Prince too). That's how I understand it anyway.

The advantage is that the doors to the Arena most likely opens at the same time as the outside doors open for the Prince only ticketholders - giving the Prince plus ticketholders an advantage of about 2-3 minutes or that the Prince Only ticketholders will rush into the end of the queue of Prince Plus ticketholders. But Friday night it all will become clear...

2 entrances, almost going open at the same time. They told me this 3 weeks ago.

I think Maceo Parker will join Prince & the NPG...he gave a clue at Facebook:

Headed out to Europe this evening, that should be a clue!

A while back here I offered a ride to anyone traveling from Amsterdam to Rotterdam this coming weekend. One person reacted that he wanted to travel with me, as he was arriving from England on Friday.

We chatted through Orgnotes, but now I see that those are deleted after 30 days. So I have no way to contact him. I guess it was a Chris? If it was you, please contact me

Otherwise, the offer still stands for others as well.

A friend of mine works at the Ahoy; according to the text messages I get, the soundcheck has been going on for about an hour now, without Prince, with Maceo.

Soundcheck finished after about an hour and a half (without Prince).

I bought 6 tickets from 'Nationale Theaterkassa'.

I didn't recieve anything yet. Does anyone has a clue how and where I can get my tickets?
