Just wondering if we can get together somehow and share the burden of flogging away at ticketmaster?? Or maybe set up an email group for letting people know when tix are on sale? Perhaps things will be easier now the 'currently not on sale' sign is back, in that we can see instantly by refreshing the page, although of course this could mean they are all gone, but I remain optimistic. We know this hasn't meant $hit in relation to all the other shows!

I know I'm in danger of flogging a dead topic, but this thread ain't over until we all have our tickets!!

Who is still looking?? Anyone got any ideas for collaboration?


sad STILL harrassing sales staff on ticketmaster and still bein told 2 keep watch for tickets available - even when this shows still not even got 1 ticket available - today shows not on sale!! tm say worth showin up on day so might book day off work and travel down by train just in case any 1 else thinkin same maybe we wil hav 2 hold our own party outside if none of us lucky even 2 get tickets. Of course if i get lucky on 1 of many attempts wil certainly b offerin 2 other genuine fans on this site EBAY aagh!!! am still bein outbid so annoyin

Thats not such a bad idea. You never know with it being so last minute,there may be a few spares going cheap(friends couldnt make the show etc). I may just do that...

Well I already have my tickets for the 21st but am still looking on Ticketmaster for tickets to pass on (at cost) to people on here who might not have been able to get them themselves during the small windows of opportunity given by Ticketmaster.
I did exactly that this morning. Got lucky with 3 and made some friends very happy. Much more rewarding than skinning people on ebay. biggrin


You have made me extremely happy, thank you so very very much

I'd be very surprised to see aftershow tix released in the days leading up to the 21st. That has been confirmed by both 02 and Ticketmaster as a sellout. However, I am confident that some more for the main show will become available. Even Ticketmaster themselves told me verbally today to keep trying as returns are coming in. What people bought today are returns. More are likely to be returned to Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster confirmed this to me today.

But I thought you couldnt return tix confused


Returns from ticket agencies who had been allocated seats and not sold them. That's why "gold circle" seats have been becoming available thru Ticketmaster on the day of the show. Ticket agencies have been returning them unsold to Ticketmaster to sell.

I keep trying and will continue to do so until my finders bleed.

I will keep my peepers peeled too... I have org as my home page at work so check it roughly every 57 seconds... although I was constantly trying TM from 9.30 - 10.00 this morning and got nowt. But if I get lucky I will get as many of those tickets as I can, dagnammit! I feel like Charlie Bucket!

I'm sure that there will still be some more tickets available between now and the 21st, even if it's on the day of the show.

We live in Manchester and have an 18 month old daughter so we need to plan everything way in advance, so I feel our time is running out... but I am beginning to resign myself to the fact slowly. It won't stop me from trying though, even if I manage to get tickets and we can't make it I will sell them for face value here.

That's really nice of you to acknowledge me in this way. Thank you. But there are a number of others on here who are doing just the same. I am indeed lucky that my work enables me to be on Ticketmaster all day if I want to. Others don't have that privilege so those that can are more than happy to help those that can't.

But then why can't we just go to those ticket agencies? I can't find any selling prince tickets for the final night.

I was on TM this morning at 9.30 tried for 21st nothing and then noticed 20th onsale got Block 111 Row C was well happy and came on here to post to say those tixs where onsale and noticed the post about the 21. And spent the rest of the day failing to find any and getting told off from my boss, I have a feeling I may get fired coz of that last mainshow.

Seeing loads of people online who have posted here and wondering if we are all doing the same thing and refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, 2moro night I'm at the mainshow and Afterparty, I should be enjoying them and will probably thinking/wondering what TM are releasing for the last night.

There are some good 21/9 blocks & rows going on Viagogo at the moment, at a fairly reasonable price for those who are desperate and can still afford. (Am I allowed to say all that on here? If not i'm sorry!)
Anyway, cos I was desperate & cos they were exactly where I wanted to sit, I'm afraid to say I succumbed (which I actually feel like a traitor for neutral). Nevertheless, I shall still be watching TM & trying to get face value tix for any orgers who want them.

hi all.
I have been waiting for a week to be able to post here. I am new, have been a fan for 10+ yrs and went to see PRINCE for the first time on the 28th and to cut a long story short it was so f***** AMAZING i went again on the 6th I am now thinking should i try to get tickets for the last night and maybe go to an aftershow which i have never done b4. When i went on the 6th we were on the floor in d1 and we were so close i was running round the stage to get closer i couldn't believe it. I paid over face value on e bay for both sets of tickets so can't really justify what they are asking for last night as i do have 2 kids and a mortgage. I keep on telling myself be gratefull for going twice but something keeps on making me look on TM for tickets constantly and look on here for news. I was so cross the other day my daughters first day at school and i missed the tickets on TM never mind if it is meant to be and al that.
I will still i am sure be looking on TM so will see how many tickets i can get and of course as you all say i will deff pass on for face value.
Also thankyou to all for their reviews of nights i have been watching them and as well as making me feel a little depresed it has allways made me laugh and smile
Thanks
Becky lol

Guys,

I'm desperate like you for a main and aftershow ticket for the 21st. Gonna be expensive; I have to travel from Liverpool and sort a hotel as well but having been to two shows and two aftershows, one in which he turned up, I really want to go on the 21st.

I hate touting and really don't want to pay over the odds but realise I may have to. If anyone has spares, please keep me in the loop.

Thanks.

Guys - apart from getting lucky with TM, it's worth checking viagogo.co.uk regularly. Prices are usually very high there, but occasionnally there is a good deal. Yesterday I picked up 1 lone seat for the final show in block D2 row F for 100 sterling (150 euro, or 200 usd), which is not so bad compared to the prices I'd seen. Of course TM will probably release a handful of similar tickets on the day but I keep missing them, and didn't want to take the risk... and D2 is one of the best floor blocks.... oh well it's done now!

The only thing with viagogo is that it normally involves picking up the ticket in Hammersmith (South West London) so you need to be able to do that (or send someone you trust, as you can specify the identity of the person picking up), or add 25 sterling for FedEx...

I'll post here if I spot other decent deals. Good luck everyone!
