Golden circle = 'Carre Or'.

SquirrelMeat said:

but thats not the place where the concert will be,i thought he´s performing at the citadelle ??

catpark said:

thanks for sharing this ...

i think the place is this:

I could only get standard tickets this morning - so like others bought those assuming all gold circle sold out.

At lunch I couldnt resist the urge to check again, and found myself buying gold circle.

I now have two extra standard tickets!

A bit of a long shot but if anyone needs standard tickets let me know.

I would consider a few euros less than face value...

That is exactly what I did. Went on and could only get regular tickets (having lost gold ones because it would not accept my CC) then went back again and got the Carre Debout tickets which the guy on the phone said were gold. Not sure if they are or possible just standing but nearer. Anyway now have 2 spare standard tickets!! aaahh!! I have to say the Fnac website is not user friendly at all.

Meant to say 'there are no seats' but apparently forgot the crucial word 'no'

Kudra23 said:

Yep, me too... but I have 3 standards if anyone wants them...

Is that not the same place?!

pepper7 said:

I just bought 2 gold tickets for arras... btw what's the best way of getting there from London? Eurostar to Paris and then train to Arras or through Brussels?

jiorjios said:

Neither. Eurostar to Lille, then change to the local train line to Arras. Square is in walking distance to the station.

From another thread..
Larry Graham supporting Prince in Arras?

Is it sure Larry will be supporting Prince at his concert in France on July 9th? I'm asking this because Larry is on that same evening programmed for the North Sea Jazz festival in Rotterdam...

Rotterdamn!

from the larry graham official site you get here
http://www.pollstar.com/r...ortBy=Date
so he has moved already to arras , same with mint condition,but venue is there mentioned as mainsquare not citadel??

gerhard12 said:

Excellent news!! - As long as Prince is at the Citadelle, I couldn't care less where LG and MC are

harveya said:

My understanding is the Mainsquare IS the Citadel... right?

clbrooks said:

the pictures posted by SquirrelMeat above do not show the Citadelle (see pepper7 pictures ) , that should be the main square so the answer to the ? of u is no

gerhard12 said:

However, I think, the Main Square Festival is being held at The Citadelle, rather than in the main square...

hey prince don't 4get ur u. s .fans 2!

harveya said:

i don't care because i'm not going

Naqua said:

Just checked the news section of that site http://www.mainsquarefest...index.aspx

Looks like P is playing after all, funky!

Hutchi said:

Because P's gig isn't part of the Main Square Festival.
It's called Main Square Special.
They wanted him to play the regular festival (in combination with a spot at the Rock Werchter Festival, they are "sister" festivals) but both line-ups were already fully booked when P's confirmation came through. So the organisors gave him a seperate day for his gigs at both venues.

Any word on an aftershow? I can save money on a hotel if I'm partying all night!
