I've seen no advertising or promotion 4 One Nite Alone in the UK at all!

Has any1?

Didn't someone report some ads in the the newspapers around about 13th/14th/15th/16th September.

I saw a paragraph on Planet Sound (Channel 4 Teletext music pages) stating he was doing 2 dates only (one in London, one in Manchester) and it briefly mentioned the ONA Live box set too.

There was an advert in the Sunday Mail a week or so back, only had the 3rd showing though...that's all I have seen. Still sold out in hours so who needs advertising!!!

I have to say I was surprised how quickly these shows sold out...especially at these prices, and with very little advertising.

No, I haven't seen a single advertisement for the shows. The only publicity I've seen or heard is that God awful fake Prince lookalike in The Sun.
Hopefully, this will tell him he has the audience over here and should come more often.

a) in the mail on sunday 15th Sept
b) in the London evening standard 13th sept
c) he doesn't need to promote it - it sold out like a bloody shot !!

Yes, norwegian newspapers and some webpages have written about it.

i know he doesn't need 2 promote it but a little publicity would be nice! i don't want the tour 2 go un-noticed. it's gonna kick ass and i want every1 2 c he can still do it!

Sorry, that's not possible. The venues are too small and he even packs the floor (standing room!) with seats.

I saw a photocopied poster in the window of a ticket shop in Berlin near the Zoo Station. Same motive as the front cover of the ONA-Tourbook. There was a handwritten sign under it, reading: "Tickets hier" ("Tickets here").

eh? in response 2 what i said that makes no sense?! what u talking about?

Absolutely no promotion here in Switzerland. No ads, not in the newspapers, not on the radio, nothing.

think it was in response to the comments on him 'kicking ass'...

I was told by a work colleague(non Prince fan) that he saw an ad on the national channel in Ireland(RTE) promoting the tour.Also on the most popular radio station(Today FM) they are playing nearly every hour and there is a 1 min ad all about his gig in Dublin.Haven't seen anything in the papers though

Prince has said he has nothing to prove, why do you?

There is an ad on TV3 (Ireland) but they are selling Prince on Puprle Rain, 1999, Little Red etc.

I hope a lot of people who may not be big fans aren't going to be disappointed

I don't think anyone will be disappointed!

it is described as the 'gig of the week' in today's (monday) Metro (the freebie London rag)...

and in todays guardian a nice little paragraph under the heading "if you only see one thing this week"
