Fuck me sideways. Its confirmed too!

No other artist on planet would do this. Hopefully moaning will stop now. Good luck to everyone today can't make it myself as up in Sheffield and flying out to Prague later to give Mrs M a well earned holiday but back Fri night and am going hardcore Sat and intend to be in Manchester by 8am Sat morning

No other artist would make his fans queue for 10-14 hours in the cold with no tickets

I think that highly unlikely.

Come on Babs, get yourself over to Koko! It will be much more fun for you to review it in person rather than from your armchair.

The power of suggestion

I'll be accused of being Prince next.

Only Prince would suggest he was actually Prince. Come to think of it, I did meet Prince at the O2, so SquirrelMeat could actually be Prince.

You've be throwing glows sticks at me next!

Except I didn't really meet Prince at the O2, I made that bit up. I did get a high five from Mr Hayes though.

Depends pn your definition of late versus the curfew.

You honestly think they'd kick the people out that have queued up since 7am to let in the ones who showed up at 6pm?? One show surely.

I didn't think they'd kick people out twice.

We were thinking about trying for show 3 but I am now thinking that a lot of people from shows 1 and 2 will go back in the queue for show 2 and 3. I dunno, it's so hard being a Prince fan.

I can't see how they can fit three shows into the time frame, and I think they are over estimating the amount who will turn up. 2 shows is my guess.

If it takes minimum 1 hour to get peeps in, then the show, then get them out again, thats gotta be roughly 2:30 hrs, doors at 6, 2nd show couldnt start before 9-9:30? 2 shows can cater for 2.8k people, cant see more than that turning up for short shows.

But thats just MHO.

I plan to hit Q for just after 6ish might catch 1st (V doubtfull), but def catch 2nd show me thinks.

Mr Hayes doesn't remember meeting you. You must be a bull shitter. But its ok, if you let me in the line later.

Mind you....its only Koko on twitter so far mentioning 3 shows, I think I would rather hear details from 3rdeyegirl or the PR girl SBE gave out £70 per show which was wrong for whatever reason, the accoustic set the venue stated only 1 show, and they was wrong, why does it have to be this damn unorganised.......oh sorry forgot is P we r talking about:-)

SBE said £70 so that a few thousand people didn't turn up and so they would avoid the chaose of the Electric Ballroom queue. There were reports from SBE staff that it was always £10 but they were told to officially say £70.

The tickets had £70 printed on them so who knows really

Koko just confirmed hes playing 3 shows, doors open at 6.

Three shows on one short nigth!?

The MF must be serious about high-energy short shows without sampler sets and/or Purple Rain extended solo's.

Say he has until 23:00.

Means he has less than five hours.

So count on one hour-plus or so show, the rest is 45 minutes or so to empty/fill the room.

Its just gone mid day. Anyone have an idea what number the queue has got up to? thanks

Thanks. Gonna drive up shortly and join the line. Am I right in thinking that once in the queue my Mrs or I can (in turn) go to get snacks/drinks etc. From reading on here, things have seemed more civilized since the EB fiasco!

I should think it would be no problem to take toilet breaks etc. People were doing that at EB, that wasn't the problem.

3 shows??? Surely that is not good. Well, good in that if you go you're pretty much guaranteed to get in but i cant see these shows lasting much more than an hour. I would be pretty pissed off now if i was queuing there all day to find that out! And the people who have been there longest will probably get the shortest show of the 3. Hope for everyones sake whos going it changes to 2. Poor organising again from what i can see. i'm gonna hold on for one big show at Brixton i think!!

Seems the queue has just reached 650. 649 tweeted 1 minute ago.

Who is regulating the numbers in the queue?

Not to start anything, but I just heard Ronnie's may be cancelled? Can anyone confirm this or is it someone speaking out their 'hind again?

My thoughts exactly. I'm lucky that I was able to get to 3 so far, so can afford to wait n see what happens. I only live up the road and I'm not rushing to q for hours until price and number of shows is confirmed..

I've got mates I'm trying to convince to come for the gig of their lives.. ain't gonna happen for £70 for 70minutes!!

Also now holding out for one big pre sold show at Brixton... #tktdbrixton #1show1night
