On Sat night, when P left the arena in the box, I hung out from my seat & wacked the top three times... shouting "go on my son" as loud as I could!

Blimin' Funny I thought - well, if you will travel around in a box expect people to thump it

Which seats were you in to be that close to the box? Been to 6 concerts already but never seen the box we have usually been over in block 106 or in the floor seats.

Block 112, Row D

Did he whack back?

i was in block f3 and touched the 'box' too! i didn't whack it though. also shook a couple of the band members hands, can't remember which ones though coz i was a bit excited!

lol you shouldve jumped on it
wouldve been something to tell the lads about after the security were finished with you

Why would he be in a box?
Anyone posting here still wondering?

Were you disappointed when you found out it was trunk full of tech leads and wrapping for the equipment...fancy whacking a trunk full of bubblewrap and guitar leads.

I have 2 admit and please don't b offended, but I whack my box from time 2 time.

Dude, if i had a box, I'd wack it! sometimes I wack the missus's box, but i'm getting on a bit so even that doesn't happen so much these days.

Still, when I found out Prince had a box, I suddenly had that urge to wack... what can i say...

Do you think he really is in the box or is it just a decoy?

I'm DAMN sure he's in the box: he'd be mobbed if he walked amongst us...

On the 24th my brother hi-fived every member of the band, incl. Maceo and the twinz.He was so made up, I haven't the heart to tell him that on the 1st @ the aftershow I touched princes hand.(And the way everybody surged forward to try to do the same is a good indicator of what would happen if he walked through the arena crowd!!

Perhaps next time someones in a similar position, they could slap a sticker on the box. I'm not sure what: "Return to Sender"? "Housequake.com"? "Best before..."?

onlymatt said:

I'm sure there r plenty of guys on here who have done the same, but aren't as honest as u.

Well, of course he'd be mobbed if he walked throught the Arena when the audience were still there!

My point is that, for all we know, he chills out under the stage for a while until the Arena is empty and then comes out with his people.

Having the box wheeled out gives the crowd the impression he's left the Arena so they eventually go home if the box doesn't re-appear.

If I was Prince I wouldn't want to be wheeled around in a box when I could chill under the stage. For all we know he has it all set up pretty good under there.

i wouldnt mind a bang on marvas box

He IS in the box.
Saw him jump out of it backstage this saturday (from 102 row X).
The security quickly pulled the curtain to the arena, but not fast enough so got a glimpse

He DID walk through the crowd on the 1st night. But he walked BACK 2 the stage thru the audience. I think there may b another way out of the arena from the stage coz nobody saw the band leave before they came back.
Obviously after the 1st night, everybody expected him 2 walk thru the crowd, so hence the box was employed.

& it's funny, in the queue for entry on the 1st night outside the arena, my sister spotted the staff wheeling around the same boxes & said "i bet he is in one of them!". & i laughed & told her she must b crazy. But she ended up being right! lol - albeit, several days later... Maybe he can hear us speak?

All i know is, he heard sound waves generated by my hand actually touching wood (nurse) that he was on the other side of. amazing. wow. wow. I CAN DIE HAPPY

I think they should bring a box on from each corner, so we have guess which one he is in!

Then all four boxes get brought out on stage and included in an intro dance routine with the four ladies acting like the air hostesses in the Scooch video, pushing the boxes along! Then at the end of the intro, the four boxes are wheeled to the 4 points of the symbol and Prince gets out of one of them.

Except he never gets out of the box at the round end, because that would make he spend more than 5 seconds performing to the F and E blockers, and that simply can't happen.....

Last night he went out in the box and coz the crowd were stilling going nuts - the whole band walked out as usual and he walked out too - my friend Valerie managed to touch him and then nearly got knocked into the middle of next week by heavy handed bouncers - there is no doubt if the floor was full as it would be at the start of a concert - he would be mobbed - at least half the people had left so suppose he thought it would be ok. Anyone going to future concerts - don't leave until the security people down and out say he has gone - they know whats goin down and didn't tell us to hang around but they just kept saying - he is still in the building and smilin a lot - suppose they dont' want to say as they don't know for sure if he is gonna do another encore....MAN WHAT A SHOW!!!!!
