At Ticketmaster my receipt for the 7PM show says "Seats 291" and for the midnight charity show says "Seats 7". I wonder what to make of that "Seats 7"?

Fan -"fuckin"- Tastic!!!!

A trusted friend just told me that these shows are most likely at The House of Blues on Sunset for what it's worth.

Good call.

I'm kinda excited and yet really nervous that this won't live up to the hype.

With the venue being the House of Blues, it WILL live up to the hype.

Has anyone been 2 the Palladium since they renovated it?

Heard its much better now...

Saw The Cars there last week. They were horrendous. Sound was muddy. But that may have been The Cars' fault. They are known for being bad live and they lived up to their reputation!

I saw a band called Oysterhead there once and they sounded good. Tip for Palladium is to get close to the stage, so get there early. It is very hard to see from the back or sides, and there is no room to move around.

i thought it was general admission for the 7pm show. i don't think it's seated.

so relieved for you guys that they're all at the HOB! still not sure why the first show is $100 more per ticket??

I'm doing the trifecta tonight!!!

And sorta hoping it's all at HOB so I don't have to chase prince between shows.

House of Blues makes sense capacity-wise. How's the sound there? I've never been.

Location	Reception Capacity	Banquet Capacity	Theater Seating Capacity
Music Hall	800	200	350
Music Hall with Rails	1,000	315	400
Porch Restaurant	250	200	50
Foundation Room	300	120	70
Foundation Parish	75	50	70
Foundation Patio	30	26	26
Captains Room	35	35	N/A
Entire Venue	1,500	500	1,500

You're the winner for the night then, because there is NO better venue for Prince in this world...in my opinion. I went to a private show he did in the Parish Room, AMAZING. I've seen him perform in the main room...with Stevie Wonder getting on stage with him...AMAZING. As I mentioned before, this is the perfect venue for him to pull off this type of itenerary . . . didn't think he could bump the Bob Dylan tribute, so I was wrong . . . but you couldn't have asked for a better venue for Prince. I know one of the orgers is gonna get mad at me, but I have to say: EVERYONE, stop what you're doing and make arrangements to either see or hear Prince tonight. You HAVE to go. Anyone that has extra tickets for ANY of the shows, please send me a note, because I have a line of people backed up that want to experience Prince tonight. Now, ONE disclaimer, I have no idea which one will be the best show, I've read the thoughts that people have, but I wouldn't be so sure about the speculations per duration of each show and which one will be the best...which again is why...you should be VERY happy.

I was asking about CAPACITY. That's what the "Seats" seem to signify.

291 could be their main Music Hall. But "7"? Is that a table capacity?

I live a block away from HOB so all good, I can head over for regular updates. If anyone knows what time he normally shows up for shoundchecks etc I'll head down....

Pumped for tonight

Any parking recommendations besides the $15 valet? I have tickets to the 7PM and the Midnight shows, not sure what to do with my time between shows..... (I live about 20 minutes away)

So why the purple symbol at Paladium?

Maybe the restaurant will be open? Pretty good food... and drinks!

Red herring?

there is $7 parking if you take a left on the second street past the HOB on the side street. also, since its wednesday, you can probably find free street parking.

Purple Panic... It's all part of the fun.

Both HOB & Palladium are LiveNation venues, I believe.

I just called... the restuarant isn't open today. Boo!

Purple herring!

I can't go in cause of money but I want to stand outside

fyi. charity tix are available now (non-auction). $528.25.

Anyone notice it's not a "Late Night Jam" anymore? Just "Prince"? Do you think it'll be more traditional? Either way, I'm so excited I couldn't sleep last night! My fiance and I are going to see Prince for the first time!

You guys know that Prince is obsessed with the number 7, right?

It's probably just his personal superstition.

By the way, at the first night at The Forum, the lights went out and on 7 times before the show started.

Waaaay too steep!!! I'm hitting show 1 & 2 .... And that's already pricey.

Sounds cool 4 those who can splurge though.

Oh Man, I wonder if it's going to be a solo show - Hence the higher price hmmm
