I think you should wait to see, because often, different seats are different prices sometimes at these concerts/events. The venue more than likely offers premium seats for certain types of credit card holders at specific events/concerts w/extras, but I think you should at least wait to see what the "general admission" type tickets will be.

The ticket brokers are usually the ones selling presale/regular tickets for skyrocketing prices for concert, which is usually not the same price at what the venue charges.

Not sure I believe that. No wait, I don't believe that. I'll wait and see what tickets cost OFFICIALLY before I jump on the panties in a bunch wagon. Prince has traditionally kept his ticket prices reasonable. I believe that's been the case with the recent European dates as well. I don't expect him to just completely change what he's been doing for the past twenty years all of a sudden (that certainly wouldn't be very Prince-like). It's possible that those would be ticket prices for a special charity show, but $1300 is still completely out of whack with the rest of the concert market. Even front row for the biggest names.

Hi all,

I exspected the prices to be around $150-$200 for the floor seats over on the states side. Nosebleed a little cheaper.

"Though he was mum on details like dates and tour stops, the 52 year-old singer/songwriter told the crowd that 'Welcome to America' will showcase some of his favorite artists including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Lalah Hathaway and Sheila E.

The Minnesota native also confirmed that he and the New Power Generation would also perform nightly alongside featured acts."

He has a lot of features acts on the bill this time.

Those of you who make it, you will have a memory of a life time you won't ever 4get!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love u all

Chow

@Cerebus

$200 nose bleed seats! $1300 for the great seats! Don't think so how much are the tickets in Europe?
