There seems to be an awful lot of gold tickets. This is very worrying... confused

I read somewhere on here there were 3,000 GC tickets. I've seen a 'seating' plan somewhere too (Yes, I KNOW it's standing, but I;ve defiietly seen a plan of the grounds, with the stage and the gold circle mapped out).

How well publiced is this event? I mean, I only found out through the org., but I assume French fans would have heard first, and be ready to order this morning.

F**k, I never even considered that Prince might actually pull it due to bad sales. I was too busy worrying about getting a bloody ticket!

Hmmm... was on the site just after 9.30 French time and it only gave me the option of the "cheaper" tickets. Trying to pay, it wouldn't let me use my Amex card as it said I had to use an e-card... I went back and found I'd clicked in the wrong place - e-card payment! sad - changed this and the Gold tickets reappeared. Clearing my basket, I went to buy Gold tickets - Not available... Now people are saying they have been available since... eek
How annoying - but hey ho, a ticket in the masses is better than no ticket at all...

Just got a gold ticket for Arras excited im reluctant to book travel yet until im certain it will defo go ahead..
So if anyone is driving?..... im happy to chip in with petrol and toll costs biggrin

After the Croke park cancellation I was only out my travel costs as I cancelled my Accomodation with no charge and got a full refund on the concert ticket cool
One minute they want peace……

i already did, they told me tix i bought can't be exchanged/refunded & that effectively it was due 2 the volume of people to the site placing orders 4 goldies & then non payment.
but tbh i didn't see the gold tix option at all! i think maybe they are playing little crafty buggers

the whole ticket thing was a complete nightmare for me esp as i doesnt speak a word of french and everytime u go to change the site to english it would go back to french again! thank god for babelfish. then it would only show the 84 euro tix, then paypal would not accept my card or my daughters cards this went on and on for hours! thanks to my friend helping me or i would not of got a GC tix.

I really do think Prince should open a site for his shows even if its just temporary for moments like this.

Arras is a stand alone Prince concert, with a capacity only 10% bigger than the 02, in a beautiful setting, only 90 minutes from Kent!

What could be better!?

Absolutely! There seems to be so many odd preconceived ideas about this show...

Can someone post some pics of other shows at this venue so people can see how nice it it..

It's stand up: basically Prince and Larry telling knockknock jokes and trying to sell you a Watchtower. biggrin

Seriously now: As far as I know there are seats.
(Little Richard enters the stage)
Homer: Purple Rain!!
Little Richard: Shut up!
Homer (to Marge): Oh my God, Michael Jackson just told me to shut up!

Carre Or is golden circle. Not sure of the literal translation but if your ticket says that you're fine.
