EVERY radio station has been playing ads, including NOVA which is interesting as its aimed at a teenage audience.

With the Symbol Stage where is the best place to sit?

If you have a chance, get around the main stage or down the arrow - it is better than behind the main stage.

But that is all relative. Everybody has a good view and it is a party atmosphere.

On the wee mans lap!

the welcome 2 america promotionals are leagues ahead of the aussie ones.

so slick. aussie ones, as usual look kind shite. the US poster would do wonders to get all those fence sitters to buy tix im sure of it knowing the aussie market.

he looked the same on the 2003 tour, that mini fro.

has he ever had the straightened hair look when touring here?

93-ers?

Both the US and the Aus promotional look shite..its Prince we are talking about!!

That said, the Aussies love a different kind of artist, AC fuckin g DC, Cold Chissel and at the moment One Erection! I am amazed that the purple one has any fans here!

I assume you are referring to AC/DC, Cold Jam, and whose the One Erection band?

The wait is killing me, (also the getting up early, time difference between the west and the east does my head in). If i get tickets I will be popping my live Prince cherry and with Max playing Prince vertually around the clock all weekend its driving my batty! I would have bought through Showbiz just for peace of mind but having to fly over I just couldn't afford it.

Laptops logged in -Check!

Mobile phone on website and ready - Check!

Credit Card at my side - Check!

Good luck this morning all!

If it sells out quickly, when typically would the 2nd show ne announced and go on sale.

hahaha, I set up my ticket buying chair last night. got the money in the right account, got the credit card and sat it next to the chair, left the computer logged in and on the site all night just incase some sort of black magic stopped it from working when i put the screen down.

alarm for 7 am

no music, 'cause it'd just be too much. INSANE!

love it!

ok! so the fuckers FINALLY got one up. it's as expected, but, which gold seats would you say are best...would the ones that back on the purple reserve be cool? because they were not highlighted in the earlier seating plan, which suprised me...any help in the next hour would be splendid!

I'm also wondering how elevated the purple reserve seats are. Clearly the Purple Circle tickets are on the floor.

Vict0r said:

One question about tickets. Which seats would be better, facing the stage (sections 4-6) or at a diagonal (sections 7-8 & 2-3). I'm referring to Allphones Arena.

I flew from Sydney to LA to catch 2 shows last year - For those buying tickets here is my advice - take it as you will:

The stage is a raised stage so seats in the Puprle Circle (cocktail tables) have you sitting at eye level with the stage and you'll be constantly cranking your neck to see him. And if he wanders around the symbol as he is prone to do you might miss som view points.

The best seats IMHO will be Purple VIP on the side of the stage SEC 11/10/9 and 19/20/1 as this gives you total clearance of the stage to see the whole band, the twinz, and the man himself - not to mention the dazzling light show that takes place on the .

Next best would be Gold in first elevation.

This is just based on the kind of seats I had at the Forum Shows in LA which had the same stage set up, and based on my own preference to see the whole show including musicians, etc.

Nervous as hell!

Thanks Swa. I had just gone back and found your earlier post on it. Good info to have.

I've got three laptops going, so I'll try for purple reserve and gold at the same time and compare.

Also you might want to research on youtube from forum shows - see where people were seated.

Like I said my preference is to see all the action and the side Purple Reserve do that best.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the advice.

ACQUIRED!!!! Thank you mobile app. Paid for the tickets even before my browers even refreshed!

Mind you I'm in section 9 row L in Melb... on the wrong end of the stage but I don't care cause i'm gonna be there!!!

Arg!!! Was allocated my tickets, then Ticketek had a critical communication error upon payment.

I have NO idea whether my payment went through or not. Ticketek phone lines are engaged.

Mine froze on the payment page. Now I'm at the back of the queue and can't even get on. This sucks.

Oh that is BULL! I hope you get through, i'd be ripping them a new one.

Any Aussie fans who missed out on the newspaper ads: I have the following to giveaway - 2 fullpage tabloid ads (Herald Sun); 1 fullpage broadsheet (Age); 1 halfpage broadsheet (Age). Orgnote me.

Onto Plan B....

After deliberating which seats would be the best, in the end, I'm just happy that I actually managed to get tickets!

Well done. I'm super worried now.

Yeah i was going to be fussy but decided to take whatever I got. I missed out on the first U2 concert by doing that (thank god they did a second) and i sure as heck wasn't gonna let that happen again.
