Peter,


The answer is they are not amazing but they arent bad either. Full seat listing is on this link http://www.viagogo.co.uk/...Prince.gif Seats 1 is far left as you look (so seat 3 slightly nearer the middle).

You are likely to be behind the keyboard for the direct line to prince in the centre of the stage based on my observations last night. Im in row G next Tuesday in Block A1 and i checked last night and it is just far enough back to see around the keyboard to the centre.

Whether its worth trying to swap them i dont know. If you paid VIP price for them it could be worth trying an exchange on the night on the basis of "restricted view". Do this earlier rather than later for better chance of exchange. Based on other orgers comments trying to speak to TM or the promotors is pretty much a waste of time.

Thx 02review

Yeah i paid VIP price.
So I just have to complain bout resricted view when we get there on the night ?
What is the gain ?, better seats, refund, or what.. ?

i would use the restricted view argument for a £200+ payment as the reason. You will only get an exchange IMO - ie no refund likely unless you wanna try small claims court???

Do the exchange when you get there on the night is the best advice from what ive heard from others and my experience last night.

Also know which blocks you would prefer and prepare to be a little flexible with your choice. The woman last night when i changed tickets was clueless and i had to have reasons for which blocks I would/would not accept on the change. Take a good look at the map i showed you and read other posts on here will give you a good idea. Basically on the floor Block A2 to the front of the stage are all good. 102/103 110/111 etc are great lower tier blocks rows C to M really.

You dont want to be behind the stage (the circle end) in any way shape or form.

My personal opinion is that A2 was an awesome spot. I think its the closest you can get to the stage and prince and the view there is awesome. The B1/B2 and D1/D2 blocks are further back as you have the corporate "in stage" seating in front of you. If i could choose any seats in the house other than stage suite i would pick Block A2 row A or block A3 row A (which are the same pretty much)

If you dont want the A2 ticket let me know wink

Hey Eddy,

Very nice. I love A2 - its an amazing spot (im letting the cat out of the bag here). From your H seats you can easily sidle down to the front and be within a few feet of P. I am soooo looking for more A2/A3 seats for the coming gigs - they are awesome. (if you find yourself with a spare im your man!!)
