Absolutely...
Naturally, once I have tickets for the main show (note blind optimism) I will need something to check Ticektmaster for...

Yep, send me a membership card to both this club and the 'associated one'.

I had an opportunity for a ticket, but a mate was supposed to be coming down towards the end of the run and I didn't know how many tickets to buy, so I left it. Here's hoping I get another bite at that one.

So still looking for 1 main show, and 1 aftershow ticket.

(Have any the floor seats been sold yet? Anyone got, say, a D1/D2/C2 seat for this bad boy?)

Let's face each day with renewed hope and optimism folks..while Ticket$hei$ter are still releasing seats at random times, there is a chance we can all go.
Who cares if my productivity at work is near zero and my husband thinks I am a complete fruit loop. I know the cause is just....

We must adapt, improvise and overcome!

Can't BELIEVE I missed the few that went on sale this morning!!!!!
Makes me sick cos it's the one morning I didn't get a chance to look. Am getting so desperate now I'm even watching crazy price ebay tickets.
Just can't come to terms with the fact that I may never get any & will end up not going at all.

So now I'm back to obsessively checking the page more than ever....5 goes, every five minutes...I am developing OCD...any change in the wait time, or potential significance of the code word becomes a sign that THIS go is the one...
Turn the light on, off, on, off, on...odd numbers are lucky, but only with a left handed mouse click...

Insane in the membrane, someone please have me sectioned.

I'm still checking even though I got tickets this morning. I want better seats and aftershow tickets! Besides it's become a bad habit and I'm going to need therapy to stop searching!

Must... Step... Away... From... The... Computer! nuts biggrin

How comes everyone is after aftershow tickets now? It took several days to sell out in the first place, so demand wasn't that high.

All of a sudden, people are paying silly money.

Speaking for myself, I didn't think I could go on that date as I had a meeting which was subsequently cancelled, so now I'm desperately searching and hoping for last minute tickets!

I've been wondering this to. It took a fair while for everyone else to cotton on that the last show on the 21st September was going to be the biggy. I cottoned on just after we saw Prince for the first time on 4th August and had no probs getting tickets...a week later, it all kicks off and the world and his cousin wants tickets!! Most strange!!

I hope everyone that wants to go to the show can get there though. Would be awesome to have 22,000 die-hard Prince fans in hte O2.

I've made three of my mates PROMISE to do shifts on TM for me whilst I'm at work, yet both of them missed out on this morning's window of opportunity. Lazy lying buggers...

I'm all for blind optimism me - I'm utterly convinced Wales will win the rugby world cup, so getting tickets for the 21st is no great leap of faith.

Me too and if I get the chance to buy tickets for the 16th, I'll buy more and then let the people on Prince.org have them for face value - that way we will all be happy lol

I officially just gave up the optimistic approach. Caved in and spent over £200 on 1 ticket for 21st (already had aftershow sorted). Had to spend 10 minutes convincing myself it wasn't obsessive out of control behaviour.

Now will just have to lie to everyone outside of here that I got them at face value!!!!
I love you Baby, you know the rest...

Don't worry, I'm at that point too. I'm now considering spending large quantities of money for 21/9 tickets, because I don't think I'll ever get this opportunity again & I couldn't live with myself if I missed it.

That was my thoughts exactly, I couldn't have let my summer with Prince end badly.Although I'm sure I'll be a blubbing idiot on my own at 21st show!!

Go buy those tix.....but don't blame me if you get in trouble for it!!

Noooo there were some this morning???? NOoooo. I wasted the whole morning, either in a meeting that I was told to go to, which turned out to be completely irrelevant to me, or fannying around trying to sort out a problem which I did not create. I should have been at my desk grrrrr mad

Lol - 'fannying around' - that expression always makes me chuckle [Sorry completely irrelevant].

GRRRRR I share in your pain & frustration! We must try harder!!!!
