So from people who have seen a show... what's the best seat? For example front row for the Musicology Tour was horrible for sight and sound. But first row on the 2nd tier in the middle of a long side was PERFECT for Musicology.

If you're not sitting in floor or table seats, according to that seating map, which is similar to MSG in NYC, and other venues, I would say rows 101 and 122 and sections, 111-112, the lower red seats would be a good view or atleast close to the stage.

I understand this.

But then, ultimately your money may be going to JWs too, and investigation of chemtrails, and the campaign to include the presidents before George Washington and the demonization of Abe Lincoln as a racist (you know, the one who got assassinated for freeing the slaves) into our textbooks. And who knows what else.

Don't think about that. It'll drive you nuts. My money is probably supporting lots of things I'd rather not, just by buying a bottle of my favorite shampoo.

Just enjoy the concert.

Too bad The Oprah Winfrew Show in the Chi is not still on the air. Prince can make a surprise appearance on there like he did "The View' & get an instant sell out...

#Wrong P tried 2 get on Oprah as recently as 2006. To promote his 3121 fragrance/Album & was turned down. To think what would have happen if he was let on.3121(even though it sold well without the appearance)would have went platinum plus & The fragrance would have sold out & Prince could have saved 4 million in that lawsuit..But Oprah preferred Kravitz over Prince..

True enough. Thanks. cool

Now I can get back to worrying about important things. Like whether I should go expensive for one show or "cheap" for multiples. And guessing which show will be longest/have the best setlist. And whether/when there will be aftershows.

The mind reels.

OK.. so who is going to volunteer to get me a tambourine? (if they sell them)

I missed out on getting one here in Australia as they sold out plus they kept putting the price up at each show. I helped a couple of people O/S get Australian tour programs so hoping someone will help me.

Speaking of the Sexy MF, just watched Hall & Oates at Ravinia tonight (freakin' awesome!) and I was thinking of Prince when I saw how short John Oates is. smile I also was thinking how crazy it would b if Prince performs at Ravinia next summer (I can only hope). So while waiting to get home sitting in the Metra (as I type this, we haven't left yet) and checked the Org and voila! Prince coming 2 town this month!!!!! Just in time 4 my birthday 2!!!! Let's go crazy!!! Let's get nuts!!!!!

Why does the seating chart look like 2/3 of the seats are behind the stage where the band sets up? Those seats behind the top of the symbol look horrible!! Can anyone give insight on these seats that has been?

That is true! The best seats, actually, from myW2A experiences are on the elevated sides of the symbol between the arrow point and the cross of the symbol... If you get the front rows in these sections, you have a great view. The floor, right in front of the arrow point, does not afford the best view.

[Edited 8/31/12 18:38pm]

I went to W2A and we were at the back of the symbol on the floor and our positioning was SWEET!!! I read so much negative stuff about these seats, but after going to a concert I realised this must have been written by people who want to sit in their seat all night. The concert we were at we could go anywhere on the floor, and Prince was right there, 2 metres away! Who wants to sit in their seat all night with Prince playing right there? We came to the conclusion that these seats were some of the best in the house, as the VIP section had tables in the way so dancing would have been constricting, (we were right next to them chatting to them all night by the way, for $100AU less, and more room) and the other floor seats were alot furthur away from the man, pretty sure the pointy end wouldn't have been that great, but at long as he's in the middle of the stage which he mostly his you can see him sweet, but when he comes around the back of the circle you could almost touch him, which you can't with the other floor seats cause the VIP tables are in the way. Also, he tends to face the circle ALOT of the time so he can communicate with his band, and like I said earlier you can move pretty much anywhere on the floor as well.

We almost swapped for the tiered seats but so glad we didn't - don't belive the negativity about these seats everyone!!!

Stop HELPING Prince turn his shit into Disney on Ice shows!! Leave the kids at home or on Sesame St.

My kid was grown... biggrin I wouldn't take little kids, though...it ain't worth it.

I know, right!
