The taxidriver who drove me to Dublin Airport today said it was due mistakes made by MCD (?) and not Prince that the concert was cancelled. He said Croke Park was paid by Prince's staff last week and apologies for any inconvenience were made.

I don't know what to believe anymore..it's all vague and indeed we probably will never konw. That being said - I (over)spent two lovely days in Dublin and Bray smile

To be honest - I stayed on my own for 2 days. I had a long period of heartaches and pain, a friend of us dying, I was backstabbed by someone I thought was one of my best friends etc. I did a very long walk on Monday afternoon, had dinner and sat down for a short rest - but I fell asleep....silly me. I loved the walk though and I shopped on Tuesday but I'm sorry to have missed the fun!
I love Prince and chocolate - in that order

Oh be like that then! I went to Vegas for the 3121 thing but I'm not going that far to see The Time. The first two things i did in 2007 were seeing P in the Rio and getting and getting taxed $432 for winning some money back on a slot machine.

Ok Wolfie, but you seemed so cocky and sure of yourself... and you sources were 100 percent...what happened?? And what about rumours of ticket scalping on ebay?

The full story has yet to be told.....

i am gutted that he cancelled, but have to agree that croker was too big for him.
would be fab to see him in the new point. more intimate.
i just hope that bridges have not been burned by this fiasco.

I'd put money on him playing the Point next year. No insider information - I just think that Prince is going to sign a deal with Live Nation and that's why the tour this year was put on hold. They use TicketMaster to issue their tickets (thay are currently TM's biggest customer) - that deal runs out at the end of 2008 - and are rumoured to take on TM from next year by issuing their own tickets and they've already signed up U2, Madonna and JayZ for huge money - 10-12 year deals for over $100m each.

Live Nation (formerly Clear Channel) are in talks to buy MCD - they already have business tie-ups in the UK. Live Nation will also be running the new Point (and own half of it). They run a host of other venues internationally, so they'll control the whole chain from ticket to artist.

So IMHO there should be no bridges burnt - Croker just got binned in the grand scheme of things. And the Point's 15,000 seats will still sell out quickly despite all the pissed off fans this time around.

I am not convinced Prince will sign with Live Nation, These deals run for years and last thing he needs is another contract. Besides it is much more fun playing at club 77 4 days after the cancelled concert to a bunch of Z list celebraties.

Cheers Y'all, I just deleted my account, nothing interesting to keep me here any longer.....

Yeah, the Dr. Funkenmouthpiece reports do grate. Sorry to see they sent you over the edge. And if he does sign up, there will no doubt be a lawsuit along the way for breach of contract. That might interest you. wink
