Prince always had a very hard time to sell tickets in Austria. I cannot imagine he sells out this concert.

Greetings from Vienna !
I know. But now that he is playing Geneva too less people from that region will come though. And how many people really travel to an uninteresting city like Linz (sorry Markus ) just for a concert?

I once traveled to Linz for a beautiful girl. That was 20 years ago (20 years and 4 months to be exact). To make a long story short: A lot of people will come to this concert, and I'm almost sure that he will fill this stadium to the max.

Let's cross fingers that the weather is fine on all these outdoor gigs!

Now that Prince is playing Berlin too (narcotizedmind you are listening ) I can imagine fewer people from Germany might come to Linz...

So you always come to Linz for someone special .
Have you ever been to a Prince concert in Austria before? Apart from one (and that was really hyped and it was n 1987) they were all half empty and that a was at a time when he was still a lot more popular and they were in Vienna where it is a lot easier to fill a place. My ex-bf who is a Prince fan himself too told me that he thinks there is a 50% chance it will get cancelled because so few people are gonna buy tickets. But let's hope you are right, the weather will be fine and everything will be cool.

Apart from the festivals which will go ahead regardless, I'm beginning to think, well been thinking for a while, that this whole Stadium tour could be a complete disaster and show(s) could get cancelled due to poor ticket sales, which you could attribute in large to the very high price. Just my opinion. I hope all the shows do go ahead and tickets do sell well because after whats happened in the last year I don't think Prince needs any more bad publicity. We shall see. Time will tell.

Hey guys, I am having problems ordering tickets because of my credit card. I am going to bank tomorrow to fix the problem, but in case it won´t work out for any reason, would anyone be willing to buy a ticket for me and zaza? Of course we´d send you the money right away.

Yes. You just have to see an artist like Prince from up close. Because otherwise you can't see him at all!

Must say: after attending an Indogo show (where Prince did perform). That is true said, if you mean attending a small club show. But not only to see him up close. Most of all to hear some good tunes!

Unfortunatly most twelve year olds probably wouldn't know that Hitler was born in Linz (or very close actually). Anyway Leonard Cohen greeted the crowd with "seig Heil' and 'wollen Sie totalen Kreig?' when he played the Sportspalast (Berlin) in the 70s when he was no longer 12. Don't mention the war!!

So what if he was born in Linz? 99.99% of the crowd that will be there in July has absolutely nothing to do with what happened 80-90 years ago, whereas it was still quite relevant in the 70's and had some kind of intellectual shock value. People nowadays would just give them the "what the fuck?"-look if anyone did that.

So Prince plays a concert in the birthplace of the greatest criminal lunatic in history (100 million deaths at a rough estimate), who started a war that in fact resonates to this day in so many profound ways that most people wouldn't be aware of - including the internet, a product of cold war bomb research, in turn a product of WW2 - and we shouldn't even mention it on a message board? Now I'm going WTF!

Please stop your comments!!! They are not affecting the topic and are not true: Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, not in Linz. And Braunau is not close to Linz, although it´s the same state.
