what is the point in being a member if you can't go to the soundchecks and afterparties.
If member tickets sell out then it is WRONG.

Alan - if they accepted your details it means that they are right. If you put an error in the number then the system would pick it up.
If you need to check balance then head over to your banks site! smile

I don't know how they do it, but if you'd entered the wrong number, it would of been rejected.
I was rejected twice, I think because I forgot to pay my bill last month !! But I had another card and used that ! Sweet !

For those who can't find the section, the tickets are just listed like any other item, there isn't a big new section to look for. They're just half way down the list of T-Shirts and other crap !

I thought this too. It's also a bit wrong that we HAVE TO buy the expencive seats. I would be happy to be at the front for one night, and pay less and sit at the back for the rest. But would like to still be able to attend the after parties and sound checks.

Uproar - you can say that again.
Membership entitles us to these benefits. They MUST make more tickets available to members. I guess we have to wait a few hours until the US wakes up before we know how NPGMC handles this fiasco.

Knowing the NPGMC's past performance when things have gone wrong, I'm sure we'll get the usual "tough shit" response. NPGMC please surprise us with some positive and good news!

Guys,

the first 4 times I got to put in the amount of tickets I wanted, then it would time out...I just got in again and all the dates had dissapeared...I thought I'll just try and check the basket again, and I had 2 tickets for each date in there (my first request). It then let me put my card details and gave me an order number...worth a try guys if you got that far!!!

They will have to make more tickets available. I'm sure they will.

thanks. i feel sorry for the fans who have failed to get tickets, i would be pissed off i got two for the 5th october which is my 30th birthday so it could be a night to remember thats for sure. i think the allocation may open further because the seating plan at the apollo is quite big in the front blocks. you never know. he may even add more dates he has done it before. try manchester anyway it's only 3 hours up the M1 and the venue is cosy with a great atmosphere.

I am sick to my stomach about this.

I really hope they do the right thing and allocate a bigger area to the club members & make more tickets available.

It's back up now and all nights in London are sold out. I still can't believe this! Getting up to Manchester isn't easy when you work in London and have no holidays left!

I'm really disappointed. I've tried since 10am to get tickets and have just got in and all the London venues have been sold out. Now, do I spend even more money on a hotel and train journey up to Manchester or do I do the Ticketmaster thing.

I have sent an email to NPGMC ... I believed we were promised premium seats ... all I'm going to get (if I'm lucky) is a standard seat through Ticketmaster.

Angry and frustrated with NPGMC and Prince right now.

The problem is this...

I managed finally to get tickets for the Thursday show... Not great as I wanted Saturday, now im gonna have to pull a sickie!

If now they suddenly add more tickets then Im gonna have to think whether to get for the Saturday which I wanted. But ive already forked out for the Thursday show! I doubt very much they will let me change them!

This is most definately the last year I give this screwed up club any more money. Either they sort out this catastrophe or something tells me I wont be the only one turning my back on Prince's fucked up business acumen.

Enough is enough now. Its time Prince started to realise what a wanker he is being with this whole club fiasco.

If they need to make the whole of the Apollo downstairs section music club, then that is what they should do. We ALL go to the soundcheck. And if they have to do the afterparty somewhere big enough to hold 1000 members, then that's what they MUST do.

I understand that some of you are disappointed and angry (really), but some of you are so damn pathetic. Why write them hate and abuse e-mails? Why say that Prince is an asshole? Do you think he has the slightest cue about computers and all that stuff?

If you go to the concerts section, it now shows as "sold out"...I feel so sorry about this.

We'll all have to stick together and make sure something is sorted out...

The disclaimer at the beginning of the concert pages mentions something about adding extra tix of they sell out. We just gotta keep checking back.

I got one ticket for 4 October but am worried now. I have a reference number so assume that is good enough.

Good luck everyone

I am one of the extremely pissed off right now. When I finally got in, Saturday had gone and due to work commitments I couldn't go Thursday or Friday. Have e-mailed NPGMC to ask whether more tickets will be made available and if not whether I can purchase a ticket locally and still have soundcheck access. Will let you know response when I receive it. Just after I'd sent the e-mail the other dates also sold out.

I'm hoping that this can be resolved pretty quickly by NPGMC otherwise their membership base for next year is going to be significantly smaller...

Jon, that's quite a dilema. But I'd rather be faced with that dilema than have no tickets to any of the shows. That's the position a lot of us are in right now ;-(
