The Purple Circle VIP Table Seats

I have a pair of table seats for the opening show and wanted some feedback on the experience.

Has anyone ever seen a show from that section?
What are the pros and cons?
What does early access really mean, soundcheck?
Do people really get into the show or do they just rattle their jewelry?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi, I did 3 shows in NY & 1 in NJ with VIP floor seats. I just booked a table for Toronto for the 26th.

Seeing the tables from a few feet away... i'd say;

cons

The VIP LTD ED Shirts are dull. No pic of Prince, just something about 'loving eachother whatever skin youre in'. Nice message but i'd like a little more Prince on them, a 2" 0(+> isn't enough for me.

i do wonder if the tables are too close to see the whole show.

They cost a small fortune (i needed 4).

They've added tables for this show, previously there was a table area each side of the stage, left & right. Now there are many behind the stage. NOT COOL.

Pro's

At ALL NY & NJ shows, he let theose seated at the tables dance on the stage, at the end of the show.

He also handed his guitar to someone in these seats.

I youre quick, you'll get some amazing pics. Tho security do constantly tell you "no pics'.

You'll make eye contact with you, if your lucky or female.

Room to dance. You're not nailed to the seats, I plan to get myself up & into the VIP floor section for a boogie, there so much space. Only returning to my table for a sip of my 'free' drink. There is space around the tables but...the buzz is different.

Previously the tables had the likes of Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian, Chris Rock, Madonna... They weren't dancing too much.

Crowd free shopping, the stalls get REALLY crowded before & after the shows, i see this as a bonus.

Re early entrance... I'm not into this, I'm going for Prince unless he's doing a private VIP show, which he's not. I don't see the point.

I went for table seats this time as I wasn't able to select which VIP floor seats i was purchasing. I'm taking both my children, they're 6 & 8. I feel much safer with the space a table brings.

In a nut shell, it all depends on where your table is, if its at the sides of the stage AMAZING, if it's at the back, I'd be furious. Unless he's planning on spending more time round the back, i dont see how anyone there will see him. i don't find out where our table is until 5 days prior... grrrr.

Having said all this, it's Prince, it will be amazing where ever you are.

Hope this is of some help, have a great time x

That's very helpful, thank U.

I have a table for the opening night show, hope it is near the front of the symbol!

try calling Air Canada or Ticketmaster. When I called I was told 'seats allocated on arrival', however other have said an email will be sent 5 days prior.

I'm actually looking for nose bleed seats for Fri night. Using the excuse 'I think it would be good for our daughter to see the show from near & far'. There is noway I can be in Toronto while he plays & not see him... I just can't do it.

Are the free drinks unlimited alcohol or is it just pop and water? Do you get on or several?

Has anyone sat at one of the VIP tables behind the stage? Was it a disapointment? I think I’d feel a little slighted after dropping $500 on a ticket to sit behind the stage. Especially seeing as I bought it within one minute of going on sale. Do people who buy a whole table at a time get presidence in seating?

I hear you can email your VIP host once they send you the confirmation email and you can request it

I emailed & got what we requested but I made it clear, my cc bill would show i'd booked within 10 mins of them going on sale!!!! & I wanted section 1 or 2. Celebrities tend to get section 1, i'd ask for section 2, you stand more of a chance of being pleased.

After seeing the show, had i been sat at the back, i seriously would have canx the payment. Prince literally went over there 2-3 times during the whole show.

At MSG there were a total of 16 tables, 8 each side of the stage. ACC had 20 each side of the stage & more at the back. NOT COOL.
