A quick thank you to all of those members of the NPGMC who are attending all the London dates.

Thank you for crashing the site and thank you for getting the VIP treatment 3 times when some of us would have been happy to have it once...

you're welcome

Anytime

This is just childish, people had every right to buy tickets for all the shows. They were not aware there was a limit, and were just excited. It is horrible that some people are now turning their anger on fellow fans...

I'm not angry, just disappointed that I've not got tickets. Excitement is one thing but it must be obvious that there is a limit on member tickets.

It wouldn't hurt for people to have got a member ticket for one night and a regular ticket through Ticketmaster or whoever for the other night. Is it just me or does that seem less selfish?

I'm surprised there are that many members...what NPG should have done is made it clearer, stating that there are only 200 (or whatever) member seats available...then this would have made people think.

I agree NPG2000. The clearer the allocation was, the less problems there would be and maybe tickets should be released a date at a time. If the allocations are low then the club should limit the member pass to one per member. In a city like London there are bound to a large number of members.

Unfortunately, looking at the tour dates, there's no room for additional dates unless he decides to come back again later in the year. Its a shame, we've all been waiting a long time.

oh come on - imagine if you had failed to get tickets for one night and there were all these others gloating about going to all three.

not everyone can afford to do the lot (certainly those days are long gone for me) but it is not unreasonable to have imposed a two ticket limit on all london dates - thereby giving as many people as possible a chance to attend.

now that would be fair.

so stop sniping at those who missed out - they have every right to feel pissed off and bitter at people like you who got all you wanted and then have the cheek to have a go at them.

I think they should have just kept selling tickets and adding more rows until every club-member who wanted one had a ticket.

"The good news is you have a priority ticket as near to the front as possible. The bad news is you are two hundred and fifty-three rows back!"

Imagine that, a venue completely sold out with just club-members! They'd do the soundcheck to a filled hall and then come back out an hour later to do the concert proper and nothing would have changed!

I never gloated, get your facts right...

I agree they should have set a limit...but they didn't and we had no idea. You can't blame someone for doing something without all the facts. I purchased the tickets I wanted to support Prince, I had no idea they were gonna run out in 10 minutes..

People running NPGMC do know how many, say, UK fans are also members. They could have done the math...

Although I got a ticket I wont be convinced until I have the damn thing in my hand. The trouble with internet ordering, is ITS TROUBLE, strssful and because its impersonal - somewhat unsure.

I tried to log in from Italy but from 11 to 11.30 a.m cet the service was unavailable, i thought they gave some kind of advantage to the uk fans.
When i finally managed to log in i was just able to buy tix from the 3rd and 4th, some other people at the same time (we were on the phone)were buying tix from the 5ft, some other already saw just the 3rd october date available. so strange...

It's likely that alot of fans waited until the last minute to join to take advantage of the concerts.
