I can't remember if I was in E1 or E2, but they runined the concert for me.. You may as well be oustide the arena. It's great to be able to see Cora and the horns, but you get distracted by the security guards hanging around and chatting. I was on my won so mayb if I was with someone else it wouldn't be so bad, but not the best seats imo

If you are in E1 hope you are far enough back (row F or later) and hope you have one of the very early numbered seats for that block (starts at seat 1 and gets worse from there).

Basically E1 are ok. Its E2 where you are really screwed!!
the guitar is the best instrument in the world!

me & my sis sat in E1..we went there first...and when the lights went out we quickly ran to D3..alot of empty spaces, enjoyed the Chelsea Rogers openning..then danced our asses when P came to 1999/feel 4 u and got shifted back to E1.(due to the late joiners at d3).
E1 isnt that bad, Prince visited us a few times..but the keyboard is there blocking major view from Prince (during solo times)..Enjoy

They are not the best, but I sat in E2 row A it wasn't as good as B2 the week before but he came round a bit and when he did keyboard segment I could see him fine and still really enjoyed the gig, it was better than 115 and higher tier anyway smile dont know what the view would be like from E1 though, I'm guessing not great at the keyboard part as some of them walked over near us. Don't think it would be too bad for the rest as he goes over that side a bit and you've got a good view of where the stage comes out on that side smile

we sat in the E1 section last thursday the 13th and it was amazing, we were however at seats 1 & 2 row F , amazing view and very good sound, it was actually the best night i had till last sunday, last sunday we were in A1, which is virtually the same but just at the other side, dont understand why people think Block E1 is bad confused
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

We were in E1 row E - seats 9 and 10 and the view was AMAZIN! Whitnail - if you saw two people going completely nuts dancin in the middle of row in front of you - that was me and MFcuker. THEY WERE AMAZING SEATS! Where were the people sitting that thought E1 was bad? on stage suits or somat? To be honest - our friends had row A C1 and we swapped with them halfway though as i felt so bad that they seemed so far away from the view - and we were sooo close. As Prince spends most of the time in the centre of the stage we could see him the whole time and he seems to be turned towards the band a lot so we were looking right at his face. He comes right round the back a couple of times and it woudl take your breath away - E1 are FANTASTIC seats. We were in F3 on the 11th Aug and we thought they were good - we were row b and were bascially looking at the mans fine ass for most of the concert but were thrilled when he came round the back a few times so when we got to E1 on the 13th it nearly blew our minds - yeah he is quite far when he does the piano medly but flippin ech - think what the people grooving down up in theupper tiers feel like and they still loved it! nod

lol , then you must remember the confusion at the beginning of the concert, as everyone tried to find their seats, or the four girls with the hats and white tops and tamborines, or that fool that was right behind me who was shouting so loud, no one near us could hear a thing, but he was soo drunk that he quietened down by in the piano set, he was the idiot that was almost thrown out during the third encore lol

yep an amazing night, prince spent alot of time playing guitar solos there, and the end with Chelsea Rodgers, well, what more can I say.....

Hope you are the last 2 shows as well lol

Yeah there was a lot of cafuffle at the start and a lot of empty seats initally too - there were two guys to the right of me who eventually got thrown for filming - i kept tapping the guy on his shoulder and pointing at teh security guard who had a torch right in his face and he acted like it never happened - what an ejit! Man I woudl love love love to be going back again but I live in Belfast so not so handy to get over to London - time and money wise. I ditched my annual holiday for two trips to see his purple highness and wouldn't have had it any other way. No pennies left tho - boo hoo...

Ooh, on the inside aisle edge of C1? I was in row C and totally remember some girls in the fornt row doing a seat-swappy thing partway through. I recall wondering who had the better seats, the incoming or the outgoing.. if it was you guys I guess both had their pros and cons!

E1 is totally dependent on your seat number, once you get past 10/11 the views get steadily worse...

but, tonight, any seat is likely a good seat..
