that's true.

i don't really need a $400 table at a Prince concert though.

You might wanna ask yourself if you need any of these speacial packages.

I have seen a symbol stage show from the nosebleeds in the O2 and one a bit further down (first ring). both great experiences and i am confinced i saw a lot more than the folks on the floor at the tables.

I agree, I had VIP at London and they were by far the worst tickets I had for the 4 shows I went to.

As long as you're down wind of the symbol, all tickets will be great.

What about normal tickets? or am i missing something

3 VIP packages, what if you just wanna sit in a normal seat how much are they?

when you say downwind of the symbol which part do you mean, I was thinking the pointy end assuming this is where he would let loose on the guitar solos etc? Any advice would be most appreciated!!

Whats up with the promo video snippet about him marrying his back up singer? Thats an odd choice to add to the video.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird too, and we're not the only ones.

Looks like someone might have had a word with the promoters

Just saw this one:

Much prefer this longer one (though the sound cuts out 30secs in):

850 Australian dollars for a VIP-ticket???!!! That's insane!!!

Welcome Serpan. Oddly enough you mention that, because the promoter is stating only ONE Sydney show right now. Sure they want the first show to sell out first. Obviously, this is an official poster. So.....buy May 11th so there will be a May 12th.

umm well since hes only toured here twice so far in 30 years, none of it is played-out to us at all. infact his second tour actually ommitted most of hits to a bewildred audience of casuals

so your statment may be true in europe/us but not here.

Pay no heed. We attended the W2A concerts and thoroughly enjoyed them. It was great seeing him perform with Sheila E. You're in for a real treat!

Don't feed the trolls

Bart is not clever enough to be a Troll, he had a tiff with the Purple One (cant remember now blah blah) and now takes any opportunity to piss on everyone elses parade (get it)...oh and he loves 9"(Nails).

Its happening! A great time to be an Aussie and a great time to be a Prince fan.

Considering he's only been to Australia twice in his entire career: first in 1992 (when I was only 9 months old) and 2003, and the fact that this will be my first time seeing a Prince show, I'm quite looking forward to hearing these played-out hits

Thanks for the tips on seating. Of course, the useless ticket sites don't let you choose where you want to sit, except the classification of ticket.

It will be an interesting scenario if the first tickets I am offered are close, but on the wrong side.

BTW that's my first post even though I joined about 8 years ago, when he was here last time.

How many Kiwis are going and where. I am told if I can get a ticket, my partner will do the rest.

I'm going to the Brisbane show. Got the tickets this morning.

Hey hey Purple Lovers. I haven't visited this site for 6 years. This is my 1st post since then. I even made quote of the week once lol. I asked if Prince was coming back to OZ. I missed the 2003 Tour by a year. I was so guttered. But look, he's finally back. 9 years later and still going hard. I've been listening to Prince properly, since I was around 12 years old. 1999 was the first song I remember, when I was 5. Wow.

2012........Year of the Dragon baby...........

Absolutely. In my experience during most of the show he will be facing the bottom (pointy end) of the symbol. He also ventures out to the sides quite a bit, but only a couple of times around the circle part of the symbol. I would avoid behind the circle at all costs. A seat quite a way back, but facing the right way is still a much much better seat.

My opinion is that ground level seats directly behind the symbol (circle) will be the worst view.

Have fun!!

It will be bloody brilliant!!!!

Have a great time
