has anyone heard New Parish in Oakland as a possibility for an after show?

New Parish is great! Only seats about 200 people or so. I seen Dave Chappelle perform there a few times.

my friend just called me and said he had 2 extra tickets, killer seats.....only $579!!!!

It is. I saw Dave C there as well. Me'Chell Ndgeocello is going to be there next month doing Prince covers, as well as Martin Luther doing Beatles covers. Should be a great night.

I just checked their website, and nothing is listed for Mon. on Wed. An after show there would be amazing. Or like the old days, we can hop over the bay to the Fillmore. Let's hope something happens!

Not true. ALL the MSG shows sold out. I wondered about 2/7 until I got to the Garden and it said on the screen outside of MSG that the show was sold out. Now NJ was a different case. I'm sure that Prince will sell out at least one of the Bay Area shows. I'm glad this tour is now really a tour. Prince is on fire right now and everyone needs to see just how kickass that man STILL is!

I second that. I saw that too. MSG was sold out on 2/7/11. There were many last minute purchases leading up to that show, being it was the last on in the NYC area, and he did pretty well selling tix for the MSG shows.

As far as last minute announcement, they kind of did the same thing at the end of October for the NYC area as well, if I'm not mistaken. I think we had less than a week, but for Oakland they have last than 72 hours notice to buy tix.

Prince is well known for scheduling last minute concerts in the Bay Area. Of course, things can change, but its pretty common for his shows to sell out here and quite fast.

Seating Chart......

[img:$uid]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/Joyinrepatition/a1295254.png[/img:$uid]

I just checked Ticketmaster - still amazing tickets available! Section 128 Row 14 which would give you a fabulous view. Especially if that is the side where all the artists come in from the side to go to the stage. Watch for a single black case being rolled to the stage right before the show starts, that's him inside!

No one needs 2 know all of that!

So how many of you have bought your $1500 VIP table ticket pairs?!

Surprisingly, there seem to be plenty still available!!

At the NYC show there were mostly celebrities filling up those seats and dudes from the industry with their arm candy in tow. Not sure how comparable the celeb factor is in Oakland. They may not sell out. Unless some dudes are trying to score after Valentines points with their girlfriends.

section 105 on Wednesday, I'm bringing my daughter and a friend.

Still trying to get seats for Monday; hoping they'll release a few in choice locations if I time it just right.......

Both The Fox and The Fillmore seem way too big for an aftershow these days. Think he should have booked these venues for the tour.

THANK YOU!! It pisses me off so much, because they book good bands, but it is true - the Fox's sound sucks ball. I refuse to spend my money there.

The Fox is too big, but the Fillmore isn't out of the quesiton. The New Parish would be tight, or Great American.

@ SheilaEDrummer "Prince & Sheila E live Feb 21, 23 Oakland Oracle"

Sheila E tweeted this!

Sheila E!! That's good news

That's what the Oracle site has, a flip flop from the ticketmaster

But oh man, if he plays New Parish, . Any clubs around Oaktown would be ideal.

For the record, I've been a LG fan long before I was a Prince fan, and I still am. I think people bug on LG because of the Jehovah thing, but I'm not sure.
