Postponing the Antwerp presale has nothing to do with the so-called production issues.

You've got a point there,

but still I understand it's a feeling you got.

Well, my feeling is, he changed his mind the day after he said "let's do that"

now he wants to do an whole other tour, he's got a better idea.

and now it's a mess.

All promoters got the same (perhaps cryptical) message,

but some presales already had started, so they let everything continue,

Helsinki and Antwerp did hold back and wait for more info, if there is any coming in the near future.

I mean, if it was a simple production issue everything should have been solved by now, it's been a week.

but then again,

I have nothing to back this up,

it's just speculation from my part,

after being a fan an attending his concerts for more then twenty years.

That sounds very logical, I'm afraid. In Finland, the concert organizers are already extra careful with Prince. Reason for that is four sold out and cancelled gigs in the past.

You're the master of sarcasm, Udo

Thanks, but all joking aside: there is still plenty of practical time to do what is needed.

I agree with udo.

I bought my tickets for Roma show on 29 September and courier delivered From Milano to me in Roma morning 30 September,

All this in an inefficient country such as Italy.

Stay positive....even if we have been burned plenty in the past.

Concert van Prince voorlopig on hold

Helaas wordt het concert van Prince dat plaats zou vinden op 26 oktober in het Sportpaleis voorlopig on hold gezet. Wegens een onverwachte wijziging in de tourplanning werden een aantal eerder bevestigde concertdata ingetrokken en zijn er voorlopig slechts 5 concertdata in Europa definitief bevestigd: 18 oktober in Bergen (Noorwegen), 20 oktober in Kopenhagen (Denemarken), 22 oktober in Herning (Denemarken), 2 november in Rome (Italië) en 3 november in Milaan (Italië). De datum waarop Prince in het Antwerpse Sportpaleis staat, zal pas al dan niet bevestigd worden in de tweede helft van oktober.

We beseffen dat dit een erg lastige situatie is. We vragen alle fans om nog even geduld te hebben. Je zal een e-mail ontvangen van zodra er meer nieuws is.

Le concert de Prince temporairement en attente

Malheureusement, le concert de Prince prévu pour le 26 octobre au Sportpaleis est pour l’instant suspendu. En raison d’une modification imprévue du calendrier de la tournée, une série de dates de concert, déjà annoncées, ont été supprimées. Pour l'instant, seulement 5 dates ont été confirmées de façon sûre pour la tournée en Europe: le 18 octobre à Bergen (Norvège), le 20 octobre à Copenhague (Danemark), le 22 octobre à Herning (Danemark), le 2 novembre à Rome (Italie) et le 3 novembre à Milan (Italie). La date du concert de Prince au Sportpaleis d’Anvers ne sera confirmée qu'au cours de la deuxième quinzaine du mois d'octobre.

Nous sommes conscients qu’il s’agit là d’une situation très fâcheuse. Nous demandons aux fans encore un peu de patience. Vous recevrez un email dès que nous disposerons de plus d'informations.

We understand that this is a major inconvenience. We ask all the fans to have some more patience. As soon as there is more news, you will receive an email.

we got again v-e-r-y close...

let's have patience...

Bummer, I don't think we will see him in Belgium this tour. Now there's a big gap in his calendar I'm just hoping for a short stop in Paris or something like in the summer

Oh, and before being accused of negativity: seems like these venues are better for prince. not only will the sell out more easy,

Why will these venues sell more easily?

The price is higher. (a fact) The setlist might be similar. (that is a risk)

you were right i guess. Only the show in Copenhagen is sold out at the moment (?!).
