Why the ZZZZZzzzzz ?

thats good advice from Wolfy, if they sell VIP tickets, don't touch them unless you know exactly where you are seated and what u get for your $$$$.

I think US fans should be warned about the experiences of the O2 concerts, else they will be ripped off like we were at the O2.

i speak 4 the many hundreds of folx who got ripped off with prince VIP tix during the 02 summer of funky london.
i will not b stopped from speaking my mind n will continue 2 voice my opinions.
dont get me wrong...that boy prob was not a victim of the cruel scam by AEG live n there4 does not how it feels 2 have been ripped off after paying £239.95 4 a ticket that other folx got 4 £31.21 on the day of the gig.

I'm sure our friends over on the other side of that big pond already know the deal with AEG and the big con they carried out over here.

But in the land were you get sued for any little thing, I don't think even AEG would try the same thing over there? Plus I don't see any right minded American forking out $490 per ticket, not for a few bottles of bud (water) and not knowing were their gonna sit.

time will tell!!!!!

Looks like they removed the concert from the ticketmaster schedule.

nothing will happen ....

I checked ticketmaster and there was no listing yesterday for Prince's concert on January 30, 2008 in St. Petersburg FL and but I had seen it on ticketmaster. I wrote and SOS on my main blog and someone responded to me saying to check 3121.com which was something I always do to. [I have sitemeter and it actually showed that this person was in MN who responded. I have no idea if it was someone in the Prince crew or not. It just MN. It's a big state so who knows?]

I live in New York City and I read in the New York Times in May that Prince was going to be in London and from America. I bought VIP tickets [I am still broke but it was worth it] to see Prince from ticketmaster based in the UK. I had excellent seats with the buffet and all that.

I had no idea about this rip off situation. I even bought my after show tickets online but it was more of a first come first serve when you got to the door to see the show. I was right up under the stage at the after show and I was right up under his face. Did you know he reads the lyrics to some of his songs?! I was surprised by that.]

I appreciate you sharing this rip off thing because it is disturbing that this went on. I had emailed ticketmaster a couple of times asking them where were my seats and they said I had to wait until the day of the show. I arrived at the venue early and when I got there I asked them where were my seats and they said near the stage. I asked exactly where and they said I was in close proximity at least in the 5th row.

When I got to my seats they were right but I was kinda leery.

My main gripe with all of this was that I was a former paying member of the NPG online club and I received and email a few days AFTER I bought those VIP seats that I could have had seats just being a member of NPG which membership I had paid in full in the past. I still though do not know where those NPG online seats were located at the O2 the night I went which was September 13, 2007.

It was a wonderful experience. I gave up my entire summer financially to save and see Prince and it was worth it. I even met other Americans while in London just as delusional as me who flew across the pond to see him so I did not feel too crazy. This was my second Prince concert [first one was Musicology/family did not allow me to see him in 1985 b/c I was only 11] and I missed seeing him in Vegas because of work obligations.

I would do it again because you gotta have some fun in your life! Just enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Cancelled! Uh, let's see... yep, the other thread said Florida, canceled...

oh no, gutted. and i just paid for my VIP tix. well, i better spend the next 6months constantly moaning about it here then. and i think i might use a different colour so that you can all see it coming. and avoid reading it.
