But it is a festival, the Hop Farm Festival title gives it away and I wouldn't count on the other weekenders going home, folks who have already purchased tkts to what was, until last Wednesday, a two day festival have the option of upgrading/extending to the 3 days. If it were just Prince fans only I think it would be in danger of being cancelled due to poor tkt sales as the site holds 50,000 plus people. Just my opinion.

It will be great. Don't look at it as a festival. Most of the other weekenders would have gone home and its simply a one day Prince event.

If its sunny, it will be glorious, Arras was great last year. If it rains, a sort of camaradery comes over everyone. I saw SOTT in the pouring rain and it was great! And look at the super bowl. Prince actually performs better in the rain!

I'm going to drive down and drive back same night. Just like the 02.

apparently it's just Prince so far for Sunday!, no other acts showing.

I'm not going to this.

I do want to see Prince, i've been a fan since 82 but i've seen him perform at the Indigo for 2 and a half hours, stood 6ft from me for £25. This is 70 quid plus booking fee bollocks plus diesel from Manchester plus massive ballache, it'll fukin rain if I go, i cant get near the front without more ballache, then unless i'm prepared to piss and shit myself all day i cant stay there at the front, then more top ball ache getting back. Inc food and drink, poss BnB too this is a 150 day out to see a dot on stage.

I dont like festivals anyway but I might have gone if it were easier to travel to and less money.

well said my fellow Manc'!. The last night of the 02 aftershow is where it's really at. Amazing aftershows at the 02 vs dot on a stage in the middle of nowhere!!!.

Finding it difficult to get excited for myself. I paid £ 250 for a last night main and aftershow ticket at the O2, having been to earlier shows and aftershows that were brilliant, including the 20th Sep main show, and it was money well spent. I hope I am wrong and Hop farm is brilliant, but I have already booked for North sea Jazz on the Sunday and have to draw the line. Am hoping the late start at NSJ will give the gig more of an aftershow feel and it could be a late one with some rarely heard classics. I don't think Hop Farm will sell out anyway, so who knows, if I have a last minute change of heart, I may still end up going. Its a cert isn't it?

I think if the third day came bundled in, a lot of people might stay on. But I think at least 50% of Eagles and Morrissey fans won't fancy shelling out another £40 and taking the day off on Monday to stay an extra night to see Prince, particularly when they has been no confirmation of a day of music.

On a brighter note, more people might book now that its confirmed Imogen Thomas is taking up music and might be a support act.

She'll be coming right on the back of doing some Giggs in Manchester.

I'll tell you what it is to me: THIS is a website called prince.org, emphasis on the "prince" part. For morons, such as yourself, to "have enough time" to enter, login, and discuss Prince, but whose contribution to the open forum is "seeing Prince does not interest me" clearly is an indication they are in the wrong place. I happen to adore Erykah Badu; she's one of my favorite artists of all-time and ironically, is currently on my facebook page. Personally, I think she's not really in the "making great music" zone of her career, but that's another discussion altogether. The point is: If you want to praise another artist, the appropriate place to do that is in and at the venues dedicated to that particular artist. When someone comes in prince.org and is offering unadulterated negativity, when the purpose of the org is to bring together people from across the world that appreciate his work and are interested in his current activities, I will call them out, if I feel like it...so, I guess I felt like it. It would be great if you continued in Erykah Badu's site and left here.

Shut up.

That's not gonna happen. I visited Badu's site; didn't see any of your contributions there, either, so I'll accept I'm communicating with an International Idiot.

I'm not going, the prospect of seeing Prince live in 2011 just does not interest me.

I'm spending my money on other gigs down south this year.

First up, Badu at Brixton in July.........Woohoo!!!!

Hopefully if I get back into London by then, see you at the Badu gig!

Nope Not going, too much hassle and expense to get to this field in the middle of no where on either the train or national express. The fact it is on a sunday when I have work on the monday is off putting. Little chance of an after party unless its in some orchard or local pub. And I cant be bothered to stand in a field for what could potentially be a mud fest to see a tiny stick in the distance on a stage, surrounded by a load of non-prince fans.

I m more hoping for Dublin as its cheaper to fly there and the castle is only 16 mins drive from Dublin airport! Plus its an actual Prince only Concert!

Nope not going.

It'd cost a bomb to get to from Lancashire, tickets are a bit too expensive for what we're getting. Which will be a greatest hits gig (missing out all the best ones) and a sly stone cover band.

in a field.

in the rain.

in Kent.

For the first time since becoming a fan, I'm going to miss seeing him. And even scarier is the fact that I'm not really bothered.

me too my fellow Northener. The thought of seeing Imelda May though nearkly swung it for me but for the reasons stated I still can't be arsed!. As for LG....!

U guys will regret it when you hear Prince playing Extralovable live and then breaking into 'Sister' until Larry tells him off!

Sorry, but the name 'Larry' cancels out any possible regret as far as I'm concerned

I wasn't gonna go, been dithering over it for several days, but after talking my best mate into going, who's not even a fan, but loves the whole festival experience, camping etc, I finally bought tickets today. We bought the Sunday camping option as well.

I'm really looking forward to it now not even so much for the gig as I fully expect another greatest hits kinda set but cos my mate's coming. Also I figure its been 4 years since he played the UK and if this really does turn out to be his only UK gig this year, going on the pattern of the last 10 years he may not come back for another 4 or 5 years so I think that justifies my spending the money and going.

On a side note, is anyone else pissed off with the ridiculously high additional booking/credit card fees? I mean £8.40 fee per person plus £5.25 uk postal charge is criminal! Even if you print your own ticket they want £2 per ticket!!! Scandalous!!!

The ticket fee is where the agent makes their money... Why they don't just add it to the ticket price and camouflage it I don't know... As the only way you can buy a ticket is by using a credit card, it does seem a little stupid to label it a credit card usage charge!
