Shit that was FAST!! Saturday and Friday presales already sold out! In only one hour!!

I wonder how many rows they sold?

BTW I have a bit of a problem; I need one ticket/pass for the Friday show for my mate, I have a spare for Thursday so if anyone has an extra for Friday and needs one for Thursday or simply has an extra for Friday please send me an orgnote!!!

An hour and a half and all 3 London days are sold out! I'm waiting for the Manchester tickets to go on sale and I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that I'm not gonna be able to get a presale for those either!

Thought this might happen, there's so many fans in the UK for so few seats, and I bet a lot of people are buying tickets for everyday, which seems a little greedy and somewhat fanatical to those that won't get a ticket and only want to go the once! As someone else pointed out, at the soundchecks there's gonna be the same faces everyday, which is a shame. They should limit the club passes to one per member and guest per tour, not per concert, would give more fans the opportunity to get up close.

Agreed. You greedy sods who have got tix for all 3 nights have just disabused us remaining fans of our first and maybe only opportunity to see P up close and personal. I dont have much faith in the npgmc - they will resort to the disclaimer I'm sure. But this is a very bad day for UK Prince fans and it will take some major improvement in the situation for me to sign up again for the privilege of another load of heartache all for the bargain price of £70.

Do u remember years ago when he told everyone MAY U LIVE 2 C THE DAWN???

Well, eye think eye have just seen the dawn 2day!!!

Eyeve just realized that he only cares about his club members!!!
The rest of us just dont count with him at all anymore!!
Its literally a "closed shop" society now with him!!! Offering first pickings 2 his club members, leaving the rest of us 2 pick up the dregs!!! Eye 2 think its wrong that his club members can have as many tickets as they like for as many concerts as they like!!!

Eye also experienced first hand last year, when we lived in Minneapolis, how much he cares more for his club members, that the rest of us, when we were waiting outside Paisley Park for the aftershow after the first Xcel Energy concert. They seperated the club members from the general admittance, which we were, and we stood like dummies, watching the club members all file in first, leaving us just standing there!!!

P.S.

I WILL NEVER EVER JOIN HIS STUPID PATHETIC CLUB!!!

People did not know that there was a limit, that's why they may have got tickets for all nights...I'm sure they would not have done this on purpose...how quick we are to turn on our fellow fans...it's very sad.

Eyem not turning on the fans!! Eyem turning on him!!!

gold319 I was not referring to you my friend.

Eye was waiting patiently for Monday, when the sale date starts, so eye could go through Ticketmaster and get tix that way.
Then eye was gonna call my aunt 2 see if we could lodge with her for one or 2 nights as she lives close by 2 the Hammersmith venue!! Couldnt b better!!
Now, theres a slight change in plan!!! i.e. NOT GOING!!!

319 why can't you get tickets on Monday??

Because whats the point when its all sold out!!!
Ticketmaster are gonna come back 2 me saying that the concerts are sold out!!!
They are not gonna sell me tickets for something thats sold out!!!

Only the presale is sold out, they have not sold 3700 tickets. Only the first few rows are sold out...you can still get tickets on Monday, just not for the sound check.

Only the club members section is sold out. Ticketmaster will be selling regular tickets to Gen Public on Monday morning,I think the London prices are £50 and £40.

I don't know they could not know there was a limit of 2 tickets per person per concert, since you have to be a club member to buy these special tickets and it clearly states the limit on the email sent out to all members with the dates on.

Plus, how does buying tickets for more nights help? If you were originally planning on bringing, say, 5 friends, well you're still only able to accompany one guest per night with these tickets, since the club member has to be present when the tickets are collected.

Remember, these tickets are for the first couple of rows and the soundcheck only, general admission is yet to go on sale, if they needed to bring friends who aren't into Prince enough to join the club, these tickets should be good enough!

Clearly some members planning on going to more than 1 soundcheck/night, if not all! It's perfectly understandable to be so into Prince, but it definately limits the variety of fans that would like to go to the soundcheck. It's not the fans fault, it's the system's.

Hey ho.

I don't have a problem with club members getting first pickings and treated specially. That's surely the whole point of joining the club? There'd be no point in being a club member if they got treated just the same as fans who hadn't joined. It's like carrying a loyalty card at a supermarket, you get extra benefits. I'm not saying non-club members aren't committed, loyal fans, but the point of the club is to weed out the extra-extra committed, loyal fans who are prepared to dish out that extra $100 to prove it!

I don't think non-member fans are treated badly they're just treated like normal concert goers! Which is what they are!

It's like fans who complain about joining the club and then Prince not coming to their country or town. He can't be everywhere you know, he's not omnipotent! It's not a slight on you personally!
