Hi !

I'll probably be in Saskatoon when Prince is there so will most likely go then! Saw him three times when he was here in Los Angeles this spring so looking forward to seeing him again.

Quite sure Prince cancelled his last Saskatoon date in 2001 or so, I saw him in Regina, but with no Regina date set, maybe ticket sales will be better. I will go to Winnipeg, won't hold my breath for an aftershow like he did last time he was in the Peg (LeRendezvous). Has he been doing any aftershows on Welcome to... tour?

What he booked new cities??

I wonder if the VIP ticket company, given the money I spent, would be nice enough to transfer my purchase to the Calgary show. I'm going to call them on the 14th and hope for the best...

Not fair that I should have to spend extra travel/gas/food/hotel money to go to Edmonton to use my ticket because of this extremely unexpected move.

Still, I doubt they will accommodate.

I called VIP Nation, because I am in the same situation. They said that if I buy the Calgary tickets, then send them an email with the 2 order numbers; 1 for Vancouver and 1 for Calgary, they will fully refund the Vancouver order.

I would also like to know the answer to this question. I think that in general he has cut way back on the aftershows in recent years but that is just a guess.

That is awesome. Hopefully they extend the same courtesy to me. Thanks.

Does anyone have any advice on how to watch/find out about an aftershow?? This would be an ultimate experience for me as I am a huge fan and I have seen him a few times, but never an aftershow.

Check the org via smart phone the night of concert-also check twitter.

This is my first Prince concert (Toronto) and I'm very excited!

How are his setlists? Does he still play a lot of pre '91 stuff?

Not to derail the thread, but does Shelby J mean we'll get a weaker setlist on this tour or something?

He's cancelled Saskatoon. neutral

Am beyond pissed off. I already bought cheaper seats because I was going to have my "once in a lifetime" moment in Saskatoon. cry

If you have tickets go on sale for Calgary today, Princey... wouldn't it have been better to tell us that you cancelled Saskatoon (for the third time) before then?

Sad for you.. sucks sad

His set lists are amazing, a mix of everything. He frequently shouts out to his old school fans & swiftly follows up with a thrilling little something.

I've never seen a show without Shelby j & i've always had the time of my life. I think people bash her as she takes time away from Prince & after all thats, what were there for.

BE WARNED: I went to my first show Nov 2010. It's addictive, 26th Nov 2011 will be my 7th. You come away wanting mooooooooore.

Wishing you the amazing time, i expect we will have, Lets go crazy x

Thank you Prince, for a life time of joy & pleasure x

My tickets to the London show arrived today woot! Went back in and noticed they've got decent seats in section 102--the section I would have rather had than the section 107 I've got. Oh, well. It is what it is. shrug

That's disappointing. I was going to see Elton John for the first time in September, and the show was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts... sad

But what if you can't get VIP tickets to another show? Do they have to be VIP?

I'm guessing that the Saskatoon show was cancelled because it was scheduled on a Sunday. How many times has the 'lil guy played on a Sunday recently? I can't think of any.

The only reason I got VIP for Saskatoon was because I couldn't get a lower bowl ticket that I liked even though I started right when tickets went on sale. I hate ticketmaster... kept giving me the same damn seat behind the band. No options. I panicked when I searched for 2 instead of 1 and the lower bowl was sold out. Be damned if I was going to sit in crappy seats.

Another former orger is out airfare as he can't cancel his ticket. I've got a $100 ticket for Winnipeg now that I don't need since I managed to get a floor seat after some creative financial manouvering this morning. Otherwise I would have had to wait the two weeks for the refund to show up and try again. I was just guessing that it would be the same scenario... that I would have to spend the money since tickets by that point would have been on sale for 24 days.

I think his table seats probably weren't selling for our market. The concert might not have been a sell out... but I think tickets (other than vip) were selling decent. This is the third time he's cancelled Saskatoon though. I think there was a fair amount of skepticism that he would show. People holding off on buying till closer to show date? Local hype could have been better.

I'm still going to have my once in a lifetime moment. I'm just going to have to drive 8 hours to get there. hug

Any idea who is opening up for Prince at his Toronto shows? Or is it going to be 4 hours of non-stop Prince?

If I recall correctly, he had Mint Condition, E. Spadling and others join him on the Welcome 2 America tour. Is anyone joining him for the Welcome 2 Canada tour?

Got my ticket for Halifax yesterday and my ticket for Montreal last week... Yaaay!

Last one to get is for Ottawa but since it's a VIP and I can't know where I'm seated before the actual show.. I guess I won't recieve it by mail, but only when I get there, right?

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''

Yes he does, North Sea Jazz festival last summer in The Netherlands, third show was on a Sunday

2009: 2 concerts in Paris on a Sunday.

So there must be another reason
