Dancing on stage at the shows

I have a VIP table and would really like to know how the VIPs get on stage. Are we hand picked or does a certain section get to go up?

I need any tips to make this happen, its basically why I bought the ticket.

And before anyone jokes you have to be a hot chick, I am a 25yo girl that is decent enough!

Not only hot girls get to be on the stage with Prince. wink I've seen 8-9 year olds too and 30-40 year old guys too. wink Depends where are you standing. Shelby and Andy are the ones picking the fans. Shelby is doing a pretty decent job, Andy is a little shy so I didn't actually see her picking anyone... Most of the time, only the ones that stand next to stairs get to go on stage.

I can't remember what songs he did it for on the 21 nights (O2), but once word got out he seemed to stop doing it.

Strange how your memory plays tricks: I can so clearly remember P putting the mike in front of a guy and him singing quite well so Price wandered to te back of the stage, played his guitar and left him to it: But I can't remember the song!!!!

Anyone else there?

Mostly they (Shelby mostly..) pick people from the audience indeed it's mostly when Prince says ''we need some dancers'' or something like that. I also been on stage but then they didn't really pick out fans. He just said we need some dancers on stage and before the show we got John Blackwell and Morris Hayes (so far I can remember..) to ask if anyone wants to come on stage and dance.. but I think that's not the way it goes anymore.. not sure though.

VIP sections 1 -2 are your only hope! At least this is how it was for the 5 shows i've seen. Usually from the tables close to the steps (1,2 & 4 i think). Shelby will point to u if she wants u.

I managed to get on once, at madison. Funnily enough, I wasn't even in the table section. The security guy remembered me from both prior shows & said 'aren't u sitting there?' Like an idiot I said "no" & he asked if i was sure, with a wink!! I ran, climbed onto a chair, table then over a speak & danced like there was no tomorrow. The funny part.... I couldn't remember what song was playing! A week later I had NO IDEA! A very good friend managed to find a clip on some Spanish reviews of the show. It was Baby I'm a star & I looked like a complete ****!!!!! The clip has now vanished sad But the joy remains...

I have no shame in saying, after giving birth twice & getting married (10 years ago & still happy) That night, on the stage with Prince WAS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!! Dont get me wrong, i love my kids & husband but Prince has been in my life since I was 8 & for a second or two, I was in his smile

Good luck, you;ll have a great time even if you don't get up. Try not to want ti too much or it may put a dampener on your night x
