Not if they/he/she get shit seats... He tends to play at the front of the symbol and ignore the back!!!

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.

yeah, except I was looking to take my two kids. I'm looking at $150+ for nosebleeds, or $450+ for decent seats.

anybody interested in getting a 20 person suite???

I hear ya on the shit seats, but so long as you are inside the same building as Prince and you get to see and hear the man sing!

It would and a major plus is that flights from NYC to Chicago are so short they aren't horrifically grueling!

Yeah, but I'm on the West Coast... Know any good cheap hotels near the venue?

Checkout priceline.com and search for hotels around the United Center a few popped up under $100 within a 5 mile range(easy cab ride).

Thanks! Another tip for those combating for the best seats during pre-sales on Ticketbastard--the first tickets released, even for credit card pre-sales, aren't necessarily the best... If you wait, from my experience, they release better seats in sections held back during the pre-sales...

Prince should do Welcome 2 Atlanta so i can see my first Prince concert ever

How about "Welcome 2 New Orleans" as a compromise between Atlanta and Dallas? That city could certainly use the money, and it's cheap to fly there (at least from Dallas).

HECKS YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

I am from New Orleans, and I would pack my bags in a second!! I think I might purchase a ticket for September though! SERIOUSLY!!! lol

I have to see him!

All this negativity is nothing new...but those who go usually have a great time. I think I might get a ticket myself..

Well; I am not negative at all! I am PUMPED! I just am from New Orleans and when I read that, I thought about him coming there! LOL. I live in Dallas, and I think I can swing a ride to Chicago! I hope too!! I really want to see Prince, I have to make it to see the guy in action! lol

He is the best live performer ever, and I know that from boots and word of mouth..Just imagine seeing the man!

He really could do a Welcome 2 (any city or metro area with over million people) concert/tour. In other bring his but to Dallas!

How do you qualify for any of the pre-sales?

If you have a Citicard, you qualify for the pre sale by virtue of the card. If you have a Live Nation account, you get a special pass and screen.

I have a Live Nation account but how do I get the passwords? I dont ever get any presale info from them. Is there something I have to do?

That's cool

Congrats to Chi-town.

What about the setlist?

I wouldn't expect anything really new, but maybe the drummer is a factor?

Minus John Blackwell...which I don't think is an improvement. Not saying the concert will be bad--just gonna be without John...

echo on a new setlist for god's sake ..it's one thing if this was aussie or japan but europe, the states and canada need new meat

He's going to need a new fuckin' band and new musical attitude as well, but we know that shit ain't happenin'!

yeah, except I was looking to take my two kids. I'm looking at $150+ for nosebleeds, or $450+ for decent seats.

anybody interested in getting a 20 person suite???

Here's some advice for you (and for ALL parents): Don't take the damn kids!!!!

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

Read the story here

Following similar stints in New York City and Los Angeles, Prince will descend on Chicago next month for a multi-date residency at the United Center. The aptly titled “Welcome 2 Chicago” will begin on September 24th, and marks his first shows in the city since 2004.

The residency will also be used to support Rebuild the Dream, the organization founded by Van Jones that seeks to “build strong vibrant communities and to fix our economy from the ground up.”

On site at the United Center, Prince and Rebuild the Dream will offer opportunities to learn about, support, and take part in rebuilding vibrant and sustainable communities. Socially-conscious businesses, tech start-ups, entrepreneurs, and other innovators will offer specific tools that individuals and communities can use to improve their economic situation in the short- as well as long-term.”

Tickets for the September 24th show will go on sale beginning September 6th. Additional shows will be announced shortly.

I HAVE HEARD THAT HE REPLACE JOHN BLACKWELL HE WAS MY FAVORITE DRUMMER HIM AND E

Don't listen to him. Do whatever you wanna do with your own damn kids if it's not hurting anyone.

Not so sure that it's a good idea to move the thread to concerts so soon. What about people who don't visit the site often or daily and miss it and no nothing about it? I might have been one of them as it was still there 1 hours ago. Should be a sticky on both pages at least for a while imo.

Ok, due to your purple excitement........... you did not notice that it is a sticky in the forum and also it was put on the front page. So I dunno how folks can miss it

Hmm.... well Luv4u I never park on the home page. I parachute in on the Prince Music forum.

I wonder if the Time will be involved at all?
