EUROPE 2011 - PRINCE TOUR (dates, inter-, pre- & reviews)

WELCOME2EUROPE

Actually, all the ICO confirmed concerts can be found here with links to ticket sales (but it's fun to follow the un/cofirmed news): http://www.concerts.dk/kalender/.

Please help me keep this thread up to date. I will edit it as we go along. Thanks!


ADVISE: Always double check if concerts are really sold out, sometimes more tickets are released for sale later. Also, do not buy tickets for (sold out) concerts at resellers / scalpers, you will pay more than face value, the same goes for official scalping channels like Viagogo, Seatwave or Getmein. Try to find, offer or ask for face value tickets for sold out concerts at http://prince.org/msg/9

If you look at the European Tour thread, one of the replies was from the moderator Gav who said that they were told by Prince's people to hold back on some news they were given early this morning whilst a few things are sorted - news will be revealed soon. Moquake are normally very reliable

*Sigh* It seems like Prince's time in the U.S. for the tour will be ending in L.A. *Sniffle* You Europeans are lucky that it takes you roughly 15 minutes to get from one country to the next! Enjoy the festivities!

Trolls be gone!

You should visit Europe, and hop around all the countries in a day lol lol lol

Thanx for the support. I'm thrilled he will be visiting again this summer.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

The big question is:

where and when (if so..) will be a CLUB-CONCERT during Prince's stay in Europe ?????

Paris ? Amsterdam ? Any insider-info would be much appreciated....

For me a Troubadour-like gig is the main event 2 be !!

Yes that's what I'm wondering, it would also mean that they wouldn't have to bump any of the other acts and would pander his ego to be the only performer that day!
