I phoned directly to Mojo Concerts for more information, around the time of the pressrelease about postponing the sales.

I was told that the chaos was caused by a technical failure somewhere in Europa and the combination of a great demand for Prince tickets. So Tuesday everything should be better.

We will see...

Ticketmaster have always been shit - i remember the same shit when the London 02 tix went on sale, always a nitemare..

Although to be fair Prince SHOULD have SOME KIND of web platform to sell priority tickets direct to the real/hardcore fans (us), but thats an entirely different can of worms lol wink

that is a brilliant idea! Maybe someone can tell Prince? smile dr.Funkenberry maybe??? Let's revamp the NPGMC shall we?

I am so glad I got through around noon today and all the tickets are in my mailbox... feel sorry for the fans who haven't been so lucky (yet! - stay positive).

Much success on Tuesday to all of the unfortunate ones!

According to a press release of Mojo (the Dutch organization of the festival) only a couple of thousand Prince-tickets have been sold so far. So there is plenty in store for you all on Tuesday.

(see www.volkskrant.nl in Dutch though)

I got my confirmation for my tickets a few hours ago, while still being part of the ticketmaster-fiasco.

I called 0031-10-5927125, which is an official retailer, mentioned to me by mojo concerts/live nation this morning. you may want to give them a call. good luck!

This was a farce today. London 2007 was the last time I was so frustrated over tickets. Don't know if I'll get away with another day at work frantically refreshing. confused

00 31 10 5927125 from outside the Netherlands. Inside: 010 5972125

That worked! Thank you! I needed that! Just heard my girlfriend fell all the way down the stairs. She is in Australia right now, returning tomorrow to NL, and she is in a great deal of pain, face and arm bruised, and spent most of the day in hospital. So happy I could text her telling that at least we have tickets for all three shows!

Again, thanks!

You're welcome but credits go to Nonesuch, he provided the regular phone number of Ticketbastard that did not make Ticketmaster rich this morning. How many people called the 0,45 eurocent a minute number this morning? I paid about 8 euro's and I am sure I was not the only one calling, I tried for about an hour to get into the waiting line and when you are in that line you start to pay. They made a lot of money by keeping people on hold while their ticket system was down. What a load of old crap this organisation is.

Something funny just happened. I called a ticketing-hotline and... they were able to sell tickets. In fact I was given that number by live nation in the Netherlands. The lady even asked whether I wanted to be standing or being seated. Finally she told me that I'll only be able to pick up the tickets at the box-office... Knowing how often the funny little fellow is canceling shows, I refused, because I'm not willing to having to go to Rotterdam to return my tickets. I called live nation again and they seemed puzzled about this, since they can't get into the ticketing system. They told me that they don't know when the sale is going to start again.

What's the number?

It is an old number of The Nationale Theaterkassa, it puts you throught to Ticketmaster, it is a regular number,(should be reachable from outside The Netherlands) no additional costs, I just bought for all three day, limit is 4 a day.

Cool - how long were u on hold for? Are they emailing u the tix?

Thanks!

Just got an confirmation email from Ticketmaster and I paid for my tickets by Ideal. They will be send by post. This morning when they picked up the phone and placed my booking on 00 31 10 5927125 they answered with: Ticketmaster. I could only pay by Ideal, I called again an hour ago to ask about when I could expect my confirmation mail and then they answered with: Nationale Theaterkassa, she said I should not call this number from inside the Netherlands, because it is a creditcard number for foreigners. The fucking liberty. But she did confirm my order.

Anyone knows about the seats (layout of the venue) really?
I got tickets, it says first ring entrance west, standing.

Are there standing tickets other then " floor" tickets? Never saw that
before anywhere.

Those BLUE bars are standing tickets behind the first ring, those are actually great tickets in this stadium smile.

The stage is probably closer to the left, so the arena will be samller then you see here.

Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417

According to the NRC (newspaper and official partner of NSJF) there will be 9.000 tickets available for each of his concerts.

Drie nachtconcerten, die op vrijdag en zaterdagnacht beginnen om 01.15 uur en op zondag om 23.45 uur. Zijn concerten, waarvoor extra moet worden betaald (plusconcerten), zijn elke nacht anders. Hij treedt op in de Maas-zaal, normaal gesproken het Sportpaleis, dat in festivalsetting plaats biedt aan 9000 man.

No no, sorry what I'm saying is that we got the tickets through TM (on the site) but they were send to me by email as printable tickets in .pdf format, sorry if I confused you.
