[color=violet]I have bene a Prince fan since Purple Rain & August the 3rd was the first time I had seen him.

I can't not believe the amount on negitivity on here regarding the gigs etc.

1/ For £31.21 it was a bloody bargin now matter where you were sitting & what he played. I was in block 118 & in the 3rd row & the sound was excellent but I agree with a few on here that it was a bit dark at times.

2/ If you are moaning about where you were sitting you should have been a bit quicker in getting your tickets (plenty of nights to choose from)

3/ IF (I say IF as I dont know) it is stated on the 'aftershow' tickets that Prince & the band will play at the aftershow & then doesn't turn up stop moaning & take this up with the promoter!
Maybe if they did originaly agree to play then maybe they should have put out a statement & offered a refund to those who dont want to chance it.

4/ If it doesnt state for sure that he was gonna play then stop moaning!

Sorry rant over!


I'm with ya babe, I've seen Prince 13 times and I will be drinking in every show like its my first on this tour ,I listen to no'one's opinions on Prince gigs ,I make up my own mind and let others do likewise...Edited 8/12/07 12:35pm

here here right on

moaning about moaning... this whole London thing is like one huge deja vu experience.

I was meerly pointing out the the fact that nearly every post I have seen on here is a moaning one

Er, Foxylady.....you're maybe right about the moaning but;

1 Not everyone paid 31;21 for their tickets...the Ticketmaster system is highly unfair.

2. I booked my tickets for August 4th on the first day; got crappy 401 tickets only to buy better tickets on August 3 ( block C flloor!!) for the same price!!); being '" quick" didn't necessarily mean better tickets!

3. I didn't bother with the aftershows but not everyone is as rich as you (apparently!) and the monet spent by many was spent in ignorance of what you were truly getting. I'm sorry, you would complain if Boots sold you "Panthène shampoo" at five pounds only really to provide you with a "Basics" product worth two pounds. Glad You enjoyed the show but at least be sympathetic to others.

seanbee said:

Sorry?
1/ I got mine on Ticketmaster & I think with booking I paid £35. You are just being stupid there - I meant if the ticket was £65 I would have thought it was well worth it
2/ It is ALWAYS a case of first come first served on ALL gig tickets & trsut me I go to loads each year!
3/ AS RICH AS ME??? WTF???? Did I say I went? And where did it say I have a lot of money????

If you had taken time to really read my response ( and the scores of others on this site) you would see that what you're saying is not true;

31;21 for 4th floor 401 in May and then I can get block C for 31;21 one day before the gig??

Again glad you're happy.....

seanbee said:

no you should read what you wrote in reply to MY post here!

FoxyLady69 said:

Forget it.....you obviously haven't been following the intelligent debate on this forum.

keep listening to Purple rain and you'll be fine!!!

seanbee said:

Look mr clever we are on one post here NOT all of them.

You replied in relation to what I wrote here, not what everyone else wrote

& do not patronise me saying I a rich! I never went to the bloody aftershows!

PS

you seem very bitter? Something you wanna talk about??? LOL

FoxyLady69 said:

I would die for you

seanbee said:

you are HILLARIOUS! NOT

FoxyLady69 said:

No, you got that completely wrong. In this instance the tickets were practically sold in reverse order, and this has been discussed here ad nauseum for the last 2 months. I had mostly upper tiers for many nights having bought in the O2 presale. But ended up going either on the floor, or front 11 rows down to to 4th row of front and side lower tiers buying far more recently.

machinegun said:

oh ok so it wasnt first come first served? You have just admitted you got yours in the O2 presale so you had an advantage surely? Hmmm. Forget all what I have said eh you are all obviously pissed off for some reason!

FoxyLady69 said:

In 86, I was taking exams?
In 88 , I was taking my exams?
In 90, I was busy doing my hair...for a month!
In 92, I was watching paint dry>
In 93, I was..indesposed!
In 95, I was on holiday!
In 98, There was an earthquake!
In 02, My house blew up

I wish I was a true fan like you. That would stop me moaning.

FoxyLady69 said:

not pissed off at all, and I'm not debating your other points. Just saying the way tickets were sold was off-key. yes, I got the presale opportunity by having the O2 passcode and how excited I was. Went on the minute it opened and all I got were crappy upper tiers. Over the next few days it did get worse as well and most dates were "sold out". But then new blocks of tickets are released progressively better. I had to sell quite a few sets of upper tier as I then bought lower tiers in great great locations. And in the days approaching the concerts, coveted floor block seats starting appearing as well some even in front of opening day VIP purchases.

SquirrelMeat said:

Are you saying that because this was the first time I have seen him I

1/ Am not a (real) fan
2/ Am not allowed on here?






Wow what a friendly bunch of people you are!

machinegun said:

I do think you miss my point. I would have been happy no matter where I was sitting!

FoxyLady69 said:

No, I simply saying you are talknig shit.

The only person trying to tell people what to do is you. You want them to stop moaning.

So why did you miss all those tours by the way? Coma?

SquirrelMeat said:

I am not telling anyone anything. Just MY opinion & see the other replies here saying the same!

Did you go all tours? You dont even know how old I am?! Maybe I wasnt old enough, but then why do I have to explain myself to you!

FoxyLady69 said:

You are coming on here, telling people they should have been quicker getting better seats, when the majority of people here got pre sale advanced tickets and still got shafted by the promoters, while casual members of the public can pick up front row tickets on the day.

You are coming here telling people to stop moaning, when you obviously don't understand the history that has gone with it.

You are coming here saying you are a fan since purple rain, yet you never bothered to attend the previous 7 tours?

And if you weren't old enough to go to the 2002 tour, then you were aged 1 when Purple Rain came out. So if you wanna play the age card??

And sorry, to answer your question, yes I went to every tour, and in most cases every night.

There's moaning and then there is stating the facts.
Prince is amazing in concert and is worth tons more if you consider that the Stones are playing the same gig for 4 time s as much.
The ticketing arrangements,however,including the descriptions of aftershows etc, continues to be an absolute shambles.

Cheap doesnt mean 'be prepared for crap organosation' - End of.

SquirrelMeat said:

as I am not a real fan can you tell me how they got shafted by the promoters?

SquirrelMeat said:

Maybe I couldnt get tickets? Oh no surely that wasn't it!?

FoxyLady69 said:

You don't think its shafting fans to give them an "xclusive" offer of a VIP ticket costing £235, only to end up with a restrictive view seat, while people who tried there luck on the day get premium VIP seats at the front for £31.21?

FoxyLady69 said:

Well, I could say, to quote yourself, why didn't you get tickets earlier??

But instead, I'll just point out that the tours in 1900, 1993, 1995 and 1998 didn't sell out.

Tried hard did you?!
