she was drunk but did not bother anyone, unlike these charming security service and their fascist green ray, and the likes of you...But some like W and yourself might argue that a pre-emptive strike was needed here...

OK she annoyed me hal an hour actually, but still the level of hate in people's answers to this thread is beyond me, not to mention things like "cheap tickets bring cheap people", to which another orger answers "nice"... No doubt, Prince fans have aged a lot (this really struck me at the aftershow), and badly so

yep at one point i think her upper parts were trying to escape her dress ...think she had a blue dress on...she walked over to our side where we were sitting and was giving my hubby the evil eye which freaked him out 4 a while...we were to the left hand side on the second row of kings just behind amy winehouse and skin ...had a purple bandanna around my head ...i know was gutted he didnt show up on the balcony...but had an awesome night and the view from where we were was awesome ....i am surprised tho that she didnt get kicked outta there im sure she was trying to make trouble up there

tintin said:

God - did EVERYONE encounter that woman?? It seems so!

She was horrendous. Apart from barging her way through the crowd like she owned it (with a nasty attitude - really nasty), my other memory of her was hearing her (behind me) saying to somone "Don't YOU shove me! I'm a woman!". I felt like saying "Well you certainly ain't no lady".

her guy was harrassing other women...he was drunk too.....but there were a lot of drunks there. There was a guy standing in front of me who was sleeping and fell over after a while. He was brought outside and passed out. An ambulance had to get him to hospital i heard afterwards
lots of people missed some of the show as that happened

I was disgusted by the amount of drunk people at the aftershow, especially in the balcony where we were. If they werent nearly breaking their necks falling down the stairs (i wish), they were spilling drinks and being antisocial. It didnt spoil the night for us but it did bother Mrs PC and I. The problem I think this was all too comfortable & easy - gone was the anticipation of finding out the venue of the aftershow on the night and the adrenalin rush of the chase, getting to the venue quickly after the main show finished then the wait for P to show up. The atmosphere at the aftershows which we have been lucky enough to attend in the past..The Marquee in Islington in 2002 and The Town & Country Club in 1993 was white hot with not a drunken twat in sight.

Thats better..got that of my chest

Sounds like a girl i encountered another night. 13th Sept, I think.
We were stood on the step, going down to the dancefloor, and she pushed past us and stood in our place!! In front of my girlfried who's quite short!!
Then danced like there was no one near her, forcing everyone to get out of her way.
Just really odd behaviour. Totally selfish.

Great Britain people and booze ..... bad combination .....

They keep thinking they're at a Kaiser Chiefs concert

This must have been at the last aftershow (21st)! I was there on the left with my fellow orger BlackCandle, we encountered most of these bitches...

Bitch No.1 - Small, blond, had boyfriend, both from up north (sorry but they were). Tried to sweet talk people then sneekly moved forward. One tall guy wasn't having any of it - might have been you! She gestured to her bf that you were a c*cksucker - funny I thought the same about them. They did get closer, but hit a wall, and so hopefully got stuck in some sweaty person's armpit.

Bitch No.2 - Asian girl, pushing her way up (mentioned earlier in the thread), thought that Prince would marry her if only she'd reach the front! What a cow, she was pushing, but we pushed back....

Bitch No.3 - Got a lot of people here miffed, security put the light on her, but she kept going... what a slapper!

Bitch(es) No.4,5 and 6 - All those guys who grabbed the drumstick which fell on my foot. Yes I had my hand on it, but let go when I saw the meathead attitude these people had. It's a piece of wood, and no it will never get played or looked at again for all the time you have it.

The aftershows and mains were full of lovely people, with really sound attitudes. It really made these 21 nights special. Unfortunately the final night was marred by some people hell bent on ruining the night by their selfish and anti-social attitudes. Throwing glowsticks or pushing to the front, you're all bitches in my book
[Edited 9/25/07 13:48pm]

Me and the wife were standing next to the tall guy when the blonde and her crater faced bf tried to push in.The worst however was definitely the drunk tart who just kept trying to barge her way through despite security removng her at least 3 times to my knowledge.

Can't believe all this crazy stuff!
Did anyone remember two guys, I think they were Dutch? I saw them at at least 5 shows and everytime they were acting like complete morons!

"bitch"..."tart" etc etc...

i'm not sure we really need the casual misogyny when we're pointing out that someone was being an asshole.

magictree said:

Fair comment, I would like to amend my previous comments, and use the androgynous 'sh*tbag' in lieu of 'bitch'. Hopefully those who this applies to will be suitably offended, those who suffered them will feel this is a fair description....

Is that the tambourine men from the 16th?

wlcm2thdwn said:

Music is for all people rich and poor and God knows less afluent folk need the joy of music more than most.To all you orgers who have said in previous threads that the tickets were too cheap,shame shame shame on you,how wrong and very arrogant.I was once a poor kid who has made a very successful career from the gift of music God has given me.Music has saved my life and has done so for countless less well off individuals.How can you possibly suggest putting music out of the reach of some people,especially those who probably need it most by charging too much for it.Wrong people,so so wrong.If you wanna' blame something,blame the all night access to alcohol.

I thought the atmosphere in the Indigo on 21st was fairly good all told...I expected a few drunk idiots so I wasn't overly surprised.

Did anyone else see the group of three (one guy, long hair, two girls both wearing berets) that were dancing like nutters for most of the show over on the left hand side of the stage. The shoved their way in about 1:00 in front of us and went nuts when Prince came out...they way dancing way too agressively but we all had a good chuckle at their expense when one of the girls got so carried away that her legs went right from under her and she crashed to the floor in a heap...totally undignified and totally hilarious!! She slowed down a little after that!!

rafael said:

Lawd, I hope that wasn't me!

I keep willing myself to remember more of the show, but it just won't come. Didn't go to hospital though, fell asleep on the clipper, and missed my stop!!

LOL Sorry yall this thread is classic, gave me stitches!

"I just said "Listen darling, I paid £25 for my ticket, you paid £150 that's makes you the silly b**ch"."


"I told her to foxtrot oscar several times "

"the revolting frendh or spanish guy who spent the entire show staring at me creepily and blowing into my neck "

"That security guy helped me find my shoes at the end! "

Yes, everybody should have the chance to enjoy the music they like, rich or poor. Music can bring so much joy into life. What Prince did was a wondeful thing to do and made me capable to see him live for the first time of my life, with all the costs it is coming from abroad. Thanks P, love you for that

AEGSuck said:

Yes, she was an annoying cow! Didn't have a clue what she was doing - comepltely f*cked!

dallasboner said:

Oh lawd.

I wasn't there that night but at the August 20th Aftershow, this guy kept banging this wretched tamboracca over and over again. Right behind me. And he wasn't even on the right beat. How hard is it to play a bloody tambourine??!
[Edited 9/27/07 15:04pm]

Ah, nah!!!!!
No way could these guys play a tambourine! They didn't have one that I could see!
All I remember is them doing the duck walk and shouting "grandmaster G-9!" or "Go!Go!Go with a smile!"

onenitealone said:

We encountered a very drunk guy who looked like Bill Nighy. He was desperately trying to make friends with someone. He had his jacket over his head as he was dancing at one point.

dallasboner said:

Who the hell are these fans???

GC79 said:

What must Prince think when he's just played that beautiful guitar solo, drifted off into his own little zone, then opens his eyes to see THAT??

Anybody encounter the REALLY short woman & the REALLY tall woman on the 21st. What pain in the assess they were!!

I tell u what, these aftershows have brought out the Scrappy-Doo in me. I'm short & slenderly built, but NOBODY was gettin past me. I had a bunch of big incidents through the course of this tour.

Not least on 12th september when 2 silly cows came pushing my mother, then 2 weird little scottish gremlins came in & started pushing the silly cows. Then as I put a stop 2 it, the gremlins started bashing 7 bells out of the cows & it was wild!

Security took them outside & it turns out the cows deliberately mutilatd themselves 2 get the gremlins in worse trouble, but it was obvious by the blood in their nails that they did it 2 themselves.

It's remarkable the kind of people you encounter!!

That tall guy sounds like me. I remember the girl. Was the second fight of the evening. What a bunch of morons. Later I decided to get more in the back cuz crowd around me were idiots...well most of them anyway
