Got tickets to May 30th Show in Melbourne! Gold Section 4, Lower, Row U. Not the greatest but oh well. I am really surprised how expenive his tickets are! Are you guys? I mean I've seen him in the States and back in 2003 and they've always been reasonable - under $120 - for pretty good seats.

I have row H in the same section that night.

For the first 2 shows it is S36 AA and S32 AA for me and my eldest daughter, the youngest does not like Prince music so misses out - her loss smile

$180 for ticks is standard these days I reckon. Was able to get $99 nose bleed for 15/5 concert.

I figure based on 10 years for every concert a putting away $18 is bugger all. wink

I missed out on Purple Circle tickets for this but managed Purple floor. Really looking forward to it. Picked up Gold for the next night and Purple Circle for Brisbane on the 26th. Will have to see if I can get to the May 30th show back in Melbourne as well.

Flying over from Adelaide for this one. Really pumped and excited. Will be my 1st Prince show. Also flying up to Brisbane for the 26th Concert#2 as well.

Have never been to Rod Laver Arena before. Is there normally any dramas getting into the actual arena itself or pretty free flowing ? Etihad Stadium was excellent when I wen't there for u2 while back now.

I'm getting a little nervous now. I've got section 9 , row L lower level. Are these ok seats? There not ideal but because it's on the back end of the symbol im worried they may be awful seats.

Thoughts?

No energy/time to start that up.

Am on selling them at a loss. I got two very good seats on the side exactly where I wanted in the first place.

I don't know how this tour was organised but the ticketing left allot to be desired especially for the price charged.

That section behind the band should be sold as gold or silver reserve, not purple.

I think u will be ok there as at least it's elevated an u can see the stage. My whine was the fact I was on the floor behind the band, no elevation. May have actually seen prince for about 30% of the show.
