livenation just tweeted about the shows so the shows will probably finally sell out

Um, didn't he dump livenation? Or did I miss something?

LiveNation owns Ticketmaster I believe....

Start to be curious about the first show.... Tix are still available.

10:00 show says 250 capacity & 12:00 show says 100 capacity.

The first show must be a bigger venue.

Im kinda thinking the Palladium, El Rey, maybe Pantages

El Rey & HOB have other events scheduled.... I don't think Pantages is General Admission (could be wrong though). Palladium has nothing on the calendar right now.

Pantages is all seating. No GA.

Pantages is too large to be considered "small venue." Prince could just hold some concerts there as part of the 21 night run. Capacity is 2,700...it would be more intimate than the Forum and a great option, that's for sure. The Wiltern and Orpheum Theatres would also qualify...

Everybody have FUN

Hopefully these shows will be like the 3 Rotterdam North Sea Jazz shows !

Anywhere can be GA if you want it to be. You just choose your seat when you arrive.

I guess "small" is a vague concept - compared to the Forum, the Wiltern, Pantages, etc. are all small.

Everyone enjoy!

I tried 15min. for the 10:00 and couldn't get one.

Not when the capacity is announced at 250 for the second show and 100 for the third. That eliminates venues that hold upwards of 3,000 people such as the Wiltern, Pantages, Orpheum, etc.

They may be smaller than the Forum but they are not considered small venues. Those are mid-sized halls.

Second show is still open...I pulled up a ticket for it. Not that I can go... "Small venue"--is that mysterious enough? !!

damn. i thought we were finding out venues today - but we find out tomorrow at 3? ugh!

LiveNation and TicketMaster are 2 company's, they have tried to become one,

monopoly's comission stopped it, so they trade as seperate companys.

I haven't been able to pull tickets for the 10PM since the on-sale time. Maybe people are returning them after their initial impulse buy? It'll be a one-hour show at the most, and he's likely to defer to his band for much of the noodling. So I understand the trepidation.

But if it's only an audience of 250, it'll be half the size of the Troubadour, and that's pretty damn cool.

Keep trying, just got 2 Tix to 10 pm show

anybody want to sell their 10pm second tic? will meet you to go with you and pay $$.

wow, can't believe the first show isn't sold out yet. i guess i'm not too surprised. that is $500 for a couple's night out.

im glad i got to witness what i did at the troubadour. gonna take that and be happy.

All the shows will probably be longer than 90 minutes, shorter than 2 hours.

There was nowhere near 500 people at the Troubadour.

I'd venture half that amount.

no one else read the advertising as "twenty one night stand" = "20" one night stand?

maybe only 20 shows total?

and if you count troubadour and these 3 club shows, that's 20 on may 29th

i did not read it that way. that said, carpool again? sunday?

i might be up for another go 'round

do you already have tix for 5/29?

no sir.

Well after having missed the Troubadour shows Im glad to be going to both the 7pm & 10pm shows tomorrow. I pray they are in the same venue or at least walking distance.

BTW, I have an extra 7pm ticket if someone needs one org note me

Anybody hitting the charity show?

Was on a plane flying into LA from Europe for this weekend's show when these gigs got announced. Does anybody have a spare ticket for the 10pm show?? Will pay cash!

i'm in the same boat as you. i am hoping he does la live again and hits club nokia, nokia theater and conga room so it's within walking distance. driving from venue to venue will suck.

Troubadour's capacity is 500 people, and both shows sold out. That would make me think that there were 500 at each show, but maybe Prince didn't want to pack the place? Just guessing....

The booking lady at the Troubadour told me capacity is 400 and that includes staff, crew and the private "VIP" area upstairs. I guess that would put a sold out show around 3-350 ticket holders.

Looks like they over-estimated demand for the early show at $200 a pop. It's probably in a bigger venue.

I'll be watching/hoping for last minute tickets to be dumped at half-price tomorrow.
