I think I remember reading the Prince music wasn't starting until midnight which is why I didn't go although I'm still up so I should have.

Personally, I don't like it when people do that (I feel like if you want the ticket you need to do the time), but I have seen it done before and think it is fairly common in the Prince fan world. My advice would be that when you go down there, chat up the people already in line and see if they are doing the same thing. (My bet is yes.) If so, the precedent has already been set and I guess it's fair game for you to do the same. I would just be very clear with anyone who gets in line behind you that there are x number of people in your group and you are working in shifts. They may not like it, but at least you are upfront with them and they know where they stand (literally and figuratively).

I'm so jealous that I am not there, but I am definitely not envious of the ticket stress!

Good luck!

I counted when I left (about 15 minutes ago, just before 1:00 am) and it's about 150 people. Hardly worth giving up if you really want to sweat it out...literally. 95° tomorrow.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Right. There literally needs to be 10 times as many people ahead of your before you won't get a spot. Again, I cannot fathom 1,500 folks in line before 3PM.

You guys are funny...
good luck

Lenka turned it OUT. She started at 12:30 and was still going when we left at 2.

We counted the line, it was at around 130 when we left. Again, will need to be over 10 times that before I don't get a ticket.

I'm sleeping well in my bed tonight.

I would love to go to the 1st ave show...I may have to be late to Macy's to see if I can get 1st ave (that would be a dream come true)!

ohhhh

the day is here for you guys!!

i cant believe this si happening and i dont get to be there. i am having a blast here in sweden, but still. this is something i have only dreampt about.

all my kitties, have a blast and then some more for me. i expect a full report when i return

you are going to get your asses kicked tonight! by the purple one himself!!

I hope everyone has a *blast* tonight at the shows. After weighing the pros and cons I've chosen to stay away from first ave, but I definitely look forward to reading the reports!

Any new reports about the line at First Ave? I'm wondering what time I should get my booty down there...

we're in line now. There are about 300 people ahead of us and the line is almost around to the front doors.

pdindy said:

pdindy said:

300 huh? That means there are still over 1000 spots available...

there was a short line of people outside Macy's this morning around 8:30 a.m.

those people got wristbands and were told to show up at macy's around 2:00 p.m.....

Does He ever do Shows B4 NOON ???? I've never seen a LIVE show soooo it's

hard 2 imagine staying up that long let alone performing with a lot of energy..

Of course, that's why Prince is "PRINCE".....

I'm in line right now.
The line wrapped around first ave and bounced across the street over to hard rock. I'm underneath the skyway from applebees to the target center.
I'm guessing around 1000 people are in front of me.

damn,damn,damn...

Im anxious just reading this thread! Hope you all get tickets, and enjoy your Prince marathon today!!!!!

Tell me about it!

When we left first ave last night, there was already a good line, but I never dreamed it would be like this.

I don't see how this line will move fast enough at 3 to enable us to make it to Macys. I'm planning on skipping the Macys show if it means I will be able to see the afterparty.

yoohoo42 said:

Are you sure? I just talked w/somebody who estimated about 500.

yoohoo42 said:

Whooaa! This is gettin exciting!!!

Are the new pics on 3121.com of people on line at First Ave?

I'm not the greatest at estimating people, but everyone around me seems to think its about 1000 people. The line is 5 blocks long right now.

This is way too insane!!

Yeah just saw those pics on 3121.com and I assume they are from the queue at First Ave - as Ive never been to Minneapolis, i wouldnt know!!!
