Exactly?!?!


Has anyone had any response from the Arras information?
[Edited 5/11/10 1:43am]

Why is everyone focusing on Arras??

P was offered Arras, Werchter and Roskilde as a 3-gig deal.
All organisors worked together on this.

So all shows are suspect?

But how do we know he took it? He is yet again silent.

put it this way


DID IT EVER TAKE A WHOLE WEEK TO SELL THE GOLD CIRCLE TIX TO A PRINCE GIG?????

E-V-E-R?????


I think not-so yeah-to me

it all looks and feels-shady to say the least

he could at least let the pet dog drunkenferry know whats the deal

but do gods answer the little folk

There is alot of financial unrest in europe right now.. Riots in Greece that have meant that the IMF & European partners have been called in to bail them out.

If the tickets are not selling as quickly as normal I doubt it is soley to do with Princes failed Lotusflower site (but it needs to be taken into consideration of course) We need to factor in that the majority of prince fans like the majority of europe at the moment are increasingly feeling the pinch of the recession.

I would love to attend all three shows, but have only bought tickets to Arras as I have other more pressing priorities... I doubt im the only one in that position.

Greece is not bailed out. (they already spent the money)
The BANKS are bailed out.

JOYJOY said:

So do you imagine the outcome of this gigs being cancelled? Not a single fan left in Europe to buy concert tickets or what ever P will try to sell us As for me I spend much more than I can but I still think Prince worth it

lol

im not having a go at P-i was just saying

it is extremely unusual for P tix to not sell out straight away

especially the front rows

recession or not

and for the record-I've never really had the cash spare for P tours-but have always gone short so i could attend

so-I think alot of folk still spend on stuff like this in a recession-to cheer themselves up

i way overspent in 2007-but not having the cash didn't stop me

and as he gets loder-P shows are more rare

so i don't buy the recession excuse at all

there is more to this i fear

or-everyticket is GOLD CIRCLE

I'm surprised that they haven't sold out because I thought the gold circle at Arras would be much smaller than Werchter.

But things are indeed not great in Europe at the moment. When the recession hit one of the few areas that wasn't affected was entertainment because people wanted an escape from all of the bad news. In the meantime reality has set in and people are faced with the grim reality of losing their jobs so 120 euro can't be as easily justified for one evening's entertainment anymore

So we get Euro 31,21 aftershow tickets?

udo said:

It'd be even better if they were free

Maybe it's not being advertised very well - and people don't know about it..

pepper7 said:

Well, about last weekends' Euro problem, we have this info:

Please have a look and prepare [buy gold].
He's normally a quite reliable source of info.

Kat, in some rock mag in some hard paper back box thingy. Its in WHSmith, i still havent even brought it yet.

He cant sell out stadiums anymore. he never sold out nights completely at the o2 but then again nor did Madonna. I really can't see him ever ever going back to Croke Park again, it burnt a large whole in his pocket. Well, its his fault he should of just played or moved it to a smaller venue, imo.

pepper7 said:

Either way. If we still don't hear from them and if its stays quiet like this from Prince's camp right up until the shows, we've still gotta go!

But the only thing that is bothering me is them GC tickets not being sold out, Prince can sell out 3,000 GC tickets easily, if thats size, so really dont understand why they're still available.

udo said:

This is so much bullshit - who the hell is he - talking in front of a camera on the toilet or in his dressing room and wants to tell us, that he "ate the sapience with a spoon". And why do you post this in every second post??

Didn't you check the german version? [jberni2]
Why do you deny reality?
Why don't you think deeply about this?
And why drag the posting frequency into this? Is there any need?
Please stay on topic. I explained why the sales might be slow.
And if you don't buy gold, it's your problem.

udo said:

Both of the above mentioned are venues for concerts previously cancelled by P.

clbrooks said:

Yes, that I did know.
The context was that he would book big venues and perform there.
While he didn't at the venues named.
And Arras still looks good.

Yes, the man's marketing/communication is non-existent or at least very bad. A PR-department was fired ages ago, let alone some type of `manager`.

udo said:

Who really gives a sh*t,buy your ticket,if he plays,he plays,if you have doubts don't buy a ticket,if he doesn't turn up,start crying and contemplating if you really have a life..

UwannaSuckmyWhat said:

Please re-read.
I have my tickets.

udo said:

hi udo,
I got my golden tickets 3 minutes after the sale started.
Why should I check the german version - the english version is bullshit enough. I don't like these guys who think that they are nostradamus or god himself. These apocalyptic theories, that the world would run into a deeper depression than 80 years ago and we are just one minute away from total chaos - the worldwide economic mechanism today is much different than 80 years ago - and there is something that is known as the self-fulfilling prophecy - so why alway paint the devil on the wall - just think a little positiv.

netzverwalter said:

I mean physical gold, not tickets as protection against moneyprinting.
Byt yes, the tickets are essential too.


Please do elaborate on the why. Perhaps then we can understand the ticketsales perspective around this French 'Croke Park' a bit better.


Perhaps they have access to some financial info that you did not yet tap into?


How can we? Look at the -financial- situation the current minds have brought us into? Even a 10-year old could do it better.

So yes I will remain positive about the Arras show. It's less than two months away now!

udo said

And with a promising album, things are looking positively good

have u seen the new add on the mainsquare site:

http://www.mainsquarespec...r/en/home/

i am very positiv for the concert ....

greets
nV

I take for granted the concerts are going on. But I fear the promoters might be playing with the capacity of the GC areas. At this point, I could only think of the GC area like 50% of the standing area ... and that wouldn't be too nice, would it?

netzverwalter said:

Excellent!!!!!

cool art

BUT

STILL GC tix for sale

3 weeks and still not sold out

lord
