Block A3, what's the view like?

That's where I'll be on Saturday night so what are my chances of getting a decent view of him?

I was in block A3 row B seat 44 last Friday. You'll get a good view but I found the sound quality poor. I went to block C2 on Tuesday and the sound was much better.

Thanks for that but now I'm even more confused again. According to ticketmaster I'm on A3 row G seats 40 & 41, but according to the seating chart there is no such thing as a row G in block A3!!! Tell me someone else out there knows where I'm sitting? I can't judge where I'll be since my seats don't seem to exist!!! Help!

If you're looking at the same seating chart as I saw then I'm not surprised you're confused! The one I saw shows two rows for Block A3.
In fact it consists of two blocks. If I remember correctly one block with 5 rows and 6 seats per row. The other block with 5 rows and 4 seats each row.
On my ticket my row was marked as "B" seat 44. This seat was actually the 4th seat from the left in the rear row of the larger block.
I'm guessing that it was originally intended to be two rows but maybe due to space they had to rearrange the layout.

What row were you in? Did you have a good view ? did Prince go up your end much( if you know what I mean!)

Thanks so much for this. You know how it is, you spend a fortune on these VIP tickets in a bid to be in a great seat for once and then the shows start and you hear people moaning about bad views due to stage height and Prince facing in the wrong direction. It just gets you down to hear it after thinking you'd thrown enough money at something to be 100% certain of great seats. I couldn't really afford what I paid, but I made a decision that I'd do it as a one off because whenever I've seen him before I've been at the back of the venue somewhere watching all the guys in the front rows having loads of fun. I just wanted to be down there in the hub of it all for once, in great seats, so it's hard to take when you here other fans dissapointed that they paid out £235 to look at the back of him all night. To top it all ticketmaster are useless and cannot confirm to me where I'm actually sitting because their guy who deals with VIP seats isn't in!! How stupid is that? Thanks again for putting my mind at rest that I should have a seat!

i had a3, f and my friends were in a3 row g we had a fab view and prince came over to our bit alot during the first nite. it may be down to whose singng waving the most but he spent alot of time near us and generally worked the whole stage, so somtin for everyone. you can see him whereever he is on the stage, but does spend a fair amount in the middle where the mike stand is. however i guess its slightly different every show but dont worry you have a great view where you are! are these your only tix youll be surprised at the venue - we were, the vip seats are very close to the stage and well spaced out.


enjoy!

Glad to hear that because I have A3 row f tickets for the 17th August and wondered what it was like. Was in Block 106 row BB on the opening night and had a great view but was not that close to the stage - one thing, it will be different.
