European Tour or dodgy scam???

I was just texted the following link http://www.londoncallingmusic.com who are apparently selling package tickets to a Prince gig in Paris on 28th October, is this true??? I've just checked the pre-sale part of the NPG Music Club, and there's not a whisper there, anyone?

I just remember the Blenhiem Palace scam, so I'm weary!

Prince Tickets and Package

Paris 28 October: Prices will start from £129

Prince will be performing at the Bercy Palais des Omnisports arena an indoor 16,000 capacity venue in Paris. We have a package based on sharing a twin/double room in a central 3 star Paris hotel with breakfast and your general admission ticket for Thursday the 8th. Extra nights are available at £35 per person if you would like to extend your stay in France. Single room supplement are priced at £30 per person per night. 4 star central hotels are available from £159 with extra nights or single room supplement at £80 per person.

You can pre-register for this and further European dates by calling us and getting on to our priority mailing list. Pre-register for £20 online now - All pre-registrations gives you priority on our packages and are deductable from our actual package prices when dates are officially confirmed.

Don't forget when making a booking with us to protect your package by ensuring you take out the concert cancellation insurance.

Fairly sure it's a scam. There won't be a European tour until February/March next year.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

actually there were tickets printed for that so it was quite different. it was the promoter that had the ethics problem, not just some travel firm as in this case.
