anybody been in the kings row section at the aftershow ???...do you get booked seats and is it a free bar ???...were the band members floating around up there ???.....did you think it was worth the 75 pounds ( probably not but is it a total rip off ? )...thanks

Guaranteed front row balcony seat to see anyone of Prince's calibre for £75 is an absoulte bargain - just look at what the Stones et al are charging to sit at the back of the O2 Arena - i.e. double that

Your seats aren't numbered but you are guaranteed front row - first come, first served as to where exactly you sit - there are tables with a waitress service though I don't know if drinks are complimentary, but as that row is reserved for VIPs also I reckon a drink or two may be on the house - you also enter via a VIP entrance with no queing

drinks aren't free, £75 wouldn't get you much at the bar. morris hayes was up ther the other day and some of the other celebs are up there, but i wouldn't expect anything special. but the view looks pretty good. i haven't been myself, but from the front looking up it looks a good view, and i saw some photos from there that looked like a great view

I spotted all of the band in the standing area downstairs the nights I went. All talking to fans, signing and photos. I imagine upstairs would be dull if no one was playing.

I was there friday 17th, and i think it was well spend, feels almost like you sit on top of the stage and have an exelent view over the stage and very nice bartenders hwo came back many times and updated us about who was i the club (band members ect.) and we had almoste the hole front row 4 ourself, and no spare time at the bar, so the champagne never dried out.. Well spend!

Morris tends to hang out downstairs too, and he's always up for a chat. You don't need to go to Kings Row for that!!

I can't see why anyone would spend the money on this - if you need to sit down, then get the upstairs seated tickets, but I don't think I'll be parting with £75...I'd rather be downstairs with the majority of folk!

Was in Kings Row on the first night and only paid the extra because I thought it would be a good one. That night it was, but not sure if it would be worth it now because of all of the stuff (non-appearances etc) that is going on. You can chose your seat when you get there and the view of the stage is perfect. Everyone hung out in the bar until late and only took their seat when things started to happen - better than standing squashed in a crowd for 2 and half hours before he comes on. Prince brought his dancers up and sat them at the table next to us and stood watching Maceo for a few minutes before going down to join him. This small event in itself made my ticket worth it.

I was up there last Saturday when P did the 90 minute set. I was VERY happy. Front row seat. You can see all the squished people on the floor. They were NOT dancing. They can barely move (as was the case for me on Friday). Its very comfy up there. Private bar (not free). Its basically a swanky bar with doors to some nice seating. Met some nice people up there. No celebs though. It is a lot of money. I would not feel it was worth 75 (85 with fee's) if Prince had not played. Seated balc tix would be nearly as good (if you dont want to dance) for 25. Just get in line early to claim a good seat. There is only a railing between there and Kings row. About a 10-15' difference. I would assume the balc has its own bar but cant verify that. One last thing... Kings row has PLENTY of room to get your grove on. Best section for dancing if you want a great view too.
