It was my first Prince Concert ever last night. Due to a number of reasons I've never been able to go to any others.
Fell for Prince when I was about 8. Heard 'Girls and Boys' on the radio and that was that!
Got skitted in school for liking him but I didn't care,even did a talk (with music playing in the background)in school to try and convert people but no such luck!(The shame!)
I still can't believe I was there its a blur..amazing seats too.
I went totally on my own. As no-one I know likes Prince.

So I found this site before hand hoping I might make some friends and possibly meet up with other Prince fans,but many of the threads I read contained fans just being mean to each other!
Its like a competition to see who loves Prince best and to slate anyone who doesn't live entirely shrouded in purple.
So I didn't post and went alone (all the way from Liverpool) anyway luckily I was sat next to some great people and had a night I will never forget!
I'm still in shock!!!!!

Anyway I had as I said an amazing time!
If I had the money I'd love to go again.....got my memories though!

Oh and I also saw the guy from the 'towel boy post' get said towel lucky,lucky guy!

Wow you were brave doing it on your own! Could'nt do that myself, its nice to share the experience with someone (if you can!). My mates and I met a lovely bloke who was on his own, probably be mates for years to come now we got on so well. If you wanna do it again and get tickets for the 21st let me know!

I went from Liverpool, you could have come with us in our new Mini cooper S

rocket, it would have cost you nowt and we had Prince tunes all the way!!

There's also allot of annoyed fans at the way the tickets/VIP/aftershows been handled for the O2 shows, lots of fans defending Prince who don't see him doing any wrong, i'm with the latter !

Glad you had a good time he is a great performer, not in his prime any more, I think 86-88 was the best time to see him when he was at his peak, no matter how annoyed I am at the ticket fiasco, I still love the music, I've always thought Prince was abit of an idiot at times the way he behaves, but I think thats comes from the isolated way he conducts his life since he became a star at like 18, must be a weird world he has lived in !

Ah-ha!
I there are nice people out there..... Hurrah!
Thank you for the replys and the kind offers.

I'm still in a purple daze....I wish I could remember it properly.
I presume there will be a dvd.
Have been looking for ways to go again would love to go on the 21st...I do have a birthday coming up so you never know!

I do understand why some fans would be annoyed about the VIP and seating etc.
I'd read quite a few of those posts and looking at the most complained about seats while I was there, I could understand.
Not much to see if you were round the back of the symbol.

After going VIP to Aerosmith in Hyde Park this year I realised its not all its cracked up to be.Which is so unfair!

I was sooooo lucky to have a great seat in the lower tier block 102 it was amazing!So grateful.

I agree with your post, shouldn't compete to be the top fan but all chat about what we like etc... So what if you liked him 2 years before someone else or know 5 more songs than the next person, we all like him so we've all got something in common

I was thinking the same when I was there. I couldn't believe that the people sat on the floor seats at the back of the stage might have paid over £200 to be there. I was in the upper tier and decided that I wanted to try and go again. I joined up here on the recommendation of a friend so that I could find out what the seats were like. I'm glad I did else I might have parted with alot of money for a pretty pants seat.
