If an aftershow happens it will be starting between 2-3 am. Does not that allow the venue to change equipment in time (regular show in either venue will end at 23:00, 2 hours to remove that equipment and 2 hours to build up the equipment for Prince)?
Any other venues near Arnhem available? Or what about Nighttown R'dam (currently named WATT)? | |

I already mailed all of those venues you mentioned - only got an answer from Paradiso (don't know anything). It's still too early - he first has to return from his trip to Abu. Then, when he finds out that Arnhem is not sold out, there's the chance he will do just a standard show and no pre- or aftershow. And he IS keeping score - his first remark at Antwerp was, while playing Controversy: sold out in five days, flat. And that could be a reason he was so happy that night and played for nearly 3 hours. But be advised: I live in Amsterdam and I will be calling the venues on Tuesday-night: Paradiso, Melkweg, Tivoli + Trojan Horse to start with. Will keep everybody up2date here. The Nighttown / WATT is no longer an option (thank God) because the place is closed / bankrupt since June 2010. [Edited 11/12/10 22:43pm] | |

On the ticket site it is no longe possible to see the map of the venue with sold/non-sold tickets. anybody has some insighton this matter. BTW, let's not forget Gelredome is about twice the size of the Sportpaleis. [Edited 11/13/10 5:30am] | |

From that I can conclude: South Tribune: 60% sell out West Tribune: 95% sell out East Tribune: 85% sell out Field: Sold out! Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |

Interestinmg statistics. What about the the drummer? Will John B perform or will he be replaced? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Map is back on livenation.nl i see. These figures seem accurate to me. The second ring on the south side won't sell app. | |

Well, Antwerp was sold out because of all the Dutchies that were there
I still hope for Paradiso, because I really like the atmosphere of that venue, it's a church after all...
However, at Paradiso the "Forced landing" is programmed, and that will last till 4, so little change of P overthere. And someone told me that negotiations with P and P didn't go very smooth this year. Issues about money, somebody wanted a lump sum.....
In the Melkweg it might happen, after the concert of "Die antwoord" (he's from South Africa and really good btw). The Melkweg is a good second best.....
And, you'r right, he might not want to jam afterwards. However, I sure do hope he wants to. With Candy or Hans Dulfer? And sing with Alain Clark? I know Alain is a big Prince fan, or play with Anne Soldaat....Enough Dutchies to jam with if he wants to....

Although it's very sad news, I think John Blackwell will be in the band thursday. ( or else it will be Cora ) Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |

hmm, if it's Cora we're probably going to get a show more like the shows in summer which is NOT a good thing | |

Why is a small chance at hearing slightly newer stuff as well a bad thing? The average age of the songs in the main set of the main show is 23+ years... Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

yawn, go pick a fight with someone else, I'm totally fed up with you | |

Looks like something happened on the south side. suddenly in all blocks all the seats up tot the same row are no longer for sale. Will they be hanging up a curtain or something? | |

Why interpret stuff as a fight? Perhaps you did not noice the difference between summer leg setlist and the setlist of the recent shows. Please have a look. I just asked a question. I do not think taht is areason for your hostility. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Here people are whining about the small details of set list, when Finns would be extremely happy just to see his concert instad of these ridicilous cancellations. | |

Besides for what I understand; Sportpaleis: approx 15.000 tickets (?) GelreDome: approx 30.000 tickets (?)
And was Sportpaleis really sold-out officially? I could still buy tickets at 13:00 that same day. | |

Thanks for qualifying us. Yes, I know the reasons for feeling left out: I booked for Geneva and Helsinki. So please do not dismiss us. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
