Sept 21st - Can't believe the prices on Ebay

I've been checking the prices on Ebay for the last night - 21st Sept. Lower tier seats now seem to be going for in excess of £200 a pair. A pair sold tonight for £300 in Block 106 which isn't even one of the best blocks. Can't believe people are bidding that much.

do you think ticketmaster will release more tickets for the final night? I got lower tier tickets already but wouldn't mind getting better seats/row if I can.

I am sure there will be tickets about nearer the time. I'm not so sure that I could pass up on the lower tier ones on sale last week though. Better to be safe than sorry. lol

If you don't mind Upper Tier there's actually 2 pairs on Ebay at £110 i.e. £55 each. They're the cheapest I've seen for a while.

All tickets for 21st Sept seem to be like gold now! Hopefully it'll be one hell of a night. Luckily I managed to get Block 103 Row Q last Thursday afternoon from Ticketmaster. They also put some up for sale last Weds afternoon. So might be worth waiting.

Managed to get three tickets for the 21st but the seats aren't very good apparently sad Block 116 Row B. Not sure what view we will have or the sound quality either. But at least I'll be going to see Him again smile One night was just not enough.

Well I got a pair of ticket for the final night in block 103 - great block you say, bad news, row W - terrible terrible view no doubt.

Also I cannot find any tickets for the aftershow. I have explored every avenue apart from ebay, I dont want to pay a penny over face value..

what if they add more shows then the price will come tumbling down! If he has truely sold out 21 shows they will try to milk it for more shows! The o2 is using prince to promote the former white elephant and to get got publicity for an arena which was almost dead a few years back

a piece of advice:

Has anyone else noticed that a few hours before the show, TM release some of the best seats. I guess this will only be relevant for those peeps that don't live too far from the venue (I'm in Limehouse so can see the dome hence it's soo damn tempting to go to every single show!).

As an example, on Sat 11th, i got 3 tix in block a3 row c at 4.30pm (which is a three row block (about 10 seats in total) just by where he plays the piano), we had a fantastic time as I'm sure you can imagine!

Today, I just got blk 111 row g at 5.30pm

I'm not trying to rub it in for anyone of you who have paid over the odds for vip tix..i did the same for opening night and can laugh along with you all about the 'buffet and comp. bar'.

Just a piece of advice, that's all...if you want to go to a 'sold out' night, then wait until after 3pm for tix

NB I am not repsonsible if a date really is 'sold out'

Quite the opposite. These seats will be great esp. if your seat numbers are in the 90s. The seat numbers are more important than the row. You'll have a great view from here and you'll be suprised how close to the stage you are.

I agree, well Ive convinced myself of that for the last night lol, Im in London anyway as the hotel, train and aftershow are already booked, so worst case scenario is that I hang about the 02 the afternoon of the show and take my chances at the box office

Gosh, it's almost tempting to sell mine and miss out. Pfft, screw 'em. I'd hate to be ripped off on Ebay myself. The sooner touts go out of business the better. If I can't go or have spares I just sell them at face value on sheer principle.
