That isn't a big venue, but Luxemburg is very, very small of course.

Only 6500 capacity. I'm much more tempted to go here rather than France or Dublin.

Two tickets ordered. Though it's a small venue, there's Gold Circle tickets, and regular ones. GC is 147 EUR. Don't know what the reg. ones are.

I'm living just an hour away from the location... superb. Seen NIN there, also The Cult and Sisters of Mercy.

This is what they wrote on their website. There are 2 venues, one is 6500 capacity, the other is 1200. The 'Main Hall' would be the 6500 capacity!?

I sure hope it is as unique and exclusive as they state. Just bought 2 tickets for the concert...

PRESALE WILL START TODAY, WEDNESDAY, 4 PM SHARP!
Please be aware that tickets can only be bought via our website! Hard tickets will only be sent out per post after 13 June.

The Rockhal is proud to announce an exceptional concert to close the summer concert season on 13 July: PRINCE! During his European tour he will only stop by at some very exclusive places, and the Rockhal is one of them. This is a premiere: let’s welcome a pop legend!

Artist, multi-instrumentalist, autodidact, energetic guitar player, unmatched showman... he’s definitely one of most influential artists of our time! In 1978 and 1979, his first albums “For You” and “Prince” already revealed the artist’s potential, at the age of 20. All of his records are labeled “Produced, written, composed, arranged and performed by Prince!

His career lasts now for more than 30 years and is definitely one of the most successful ones in the history of pop and rock music. He produced nearly 40 albums and sold more about 100 million copies... and legend has it that there are thousands of songs asleep in his enormous Paisley Park studios in Minneapolis.

He’s written so many chartbusters that his career is marked by standards such as “Kiss”, “Cream”, “The Most beautiful Girl in the World”, “Sexy MF” and “Girls & Boys”, not forgetting the timeless “Purple Rain”! He also has definitely influenced dozens of artists who refer to him, such as Alicia Keys and Beyoncé.

But his true genius is only unleashed on stage. 13 July 2011 is THE lucky day for all Prince fans! The “kid from Minneapolis”, PRINCE, will electrify his audience at the Rockhal with a unique and exclusive concert.

As this artist will surely attract many fans, we just can recommend you to book your tickets as soon as possible or you’ll regret it for a lifetime! It’s easy to predict that even the Rockhal’s Main Hall will be rapidly sold out for a show this huge.

Weird way to do.

Very short time to announce, prepare and do the sale...

Maybe because the audience is small , it would be a special show??

Arrgh, i wanna go so bad because it's a small venue and it's like 4 hours driving from Holland, and it's in the Benelux, it sounds like it's very close to home..

2 GOLD circle tix! Yehaa

Only the rich people will be there.

They don't know anything so it will be the hits all over again. Really.

Montreux was even mor expensive.. No hits ever there!

there will be hits indeed.. but such a small venue will have some surprises as well..

AND there's another venue in the same building => 1.100 capacity

Aftershow anyone?

I'll be driving from Ghent. Rotterdam on Sunday, Luxembourg on Wednesday. Oh what a week.

Hey! Has anyone given the stage set-up a thought!?

With this 'small' audience capacity it would really be cool if he did a stage-in-the-middle-thing, not the symbol one, but the one like during the Musicology tour.

The golden circle tickets would then indeed be tickets in the circle... Makes sense to me!

Last summer was the best summer of my life - now I can't wait for Hot Summer Act II!

Earlier this week I bought a Golden Circle ticket, so no.. I don't think it's sold out. But I think it will before 13 july

About 5 kilometers from my home, and the venue is really small THIS IS SO GREAT!!! Last time I saw him (and managed to get his signature) live was 1994 in Paris...

Wasn't sure about the correct "word". In fact, I got an autograph of Prince and the whole band at a signing session at the Fnac. Can't describe the feeling when I managed to get it: 2 wonderful days with Prince concerts and an autograph. Sadly missed the aftershow though See U in L then ?

Ooops... I'm getting old: It was in 1993 ... sorry! Can't remember which Fnac in Paris. They only announced on the radio that his band (with Mayte at the time) would be there and then HE was there too )))))

[Edited 6/16/11 10:40am]

Yeah I remember the band being annouced..shit! didn't know he would be there too!

Anyone interested in a (non GC) ticket? And maybe even to join my ride from Ghent? Given the two concerts in Ghent, my girlfriend will not join me to this one, so I have one spare ticket.
