I am so jealous! I also worried I'll never get to see him again! I mean he'll be in his 60's if he leaves it so long! I live 10 minutes from allphones arena, but my husband won't let me go! I'm really annoyed! In his eyes it's really extravagant to go twice! He thinks I'm behaving like a stroppy teenager! Lol!

What's this "won't let me go" stuff? Put on your shoes (dancing shoes, preferrably) and go! Tickets are still available...i think only $99. Hell if you'd mentioned it earlier I'd have paid for you to go! I can't stand people missing out.

If you really can't go just rmember that you did get to see him...so many fans never have...what about all the Prince fans in India...Israel....Chad!!

To all going to the concert tomorrow night: I hope you all (including me) have a great time.

Who knows when we'll get to see our little genius in Sydney again......lets give him a reason to come back soon!

PS. I hope he plays Days of Wild again...Prince on da bass!..CAN'T BEAT IT.

^ Man, count yourselves all lucky because this is my very first time! Don't know how people come up with the money to follow him to every gig and pay for front row seats....gold does me just fine, haha.

ANyone have any inside info on how full the arena will be tonight?

I just checked and there are GREAT seats avail for Purple Reserve... like S10 or 20 Row GG..

Excellent seats...

Surprised they haven't had a 24 hour fire sale for $99 on all remaining tickets...

I just hope the show tonight is more hardcore fan centric

My wishlist for tonight:

Endorphinmachine

Everlasting Now

Computer Blue

Erotic City (I know, I know too dirty)

The Ladder

Joy in Repetition

I Wanna Be Your Lover

I Wish U Heaven

Adore

When You Were Mine

The Future

Sexy Dancer

Irresistible Bitch (I know, I know too dirty)

So sad that it's the last Sydney show. I've loved the first 2, though, and am sure he'll do something special tonight.

It's gonna be a Beautiful Nite in Sydney!!

AND YET more encores! Holy crap Sydney you got an amazing show - Shes Always in My Hair, If I was Your Girlfriend

Crazy encore. We all ended up at the front of the stage!

I got to the front of the stage and lost it hen he played bass on Wild And Loose! Close enough to touch him....farking amazing.

That was insane! I never would have thought that I'd end up that close to the stage! I went crazy and started stuffing the Purple Rain confetti in my bag lol.

another brilliant show,,feet aching sore throat but all worth it..funny towards the end half the crowd left thought the show was over but he did an encore

When will people ever learn that the show ain't over 'til they start actually breaking down the set and security starts pushing people out?

Hands down BEST entertainer ever.

Am now even more obsessed.

My friends are going to try and admit me to "Princeaholics Anonymous"

I aint denying

If I had been stupid enough to leave before the crew started breaking down the stage and missed the 4th encore...

Then again...I'd have been stupid and left and maybe not known I'd missed two great songs.

My friends and family have been trying to get me help since 1981!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

I was skeptical of how well attended this show would be...with suspicions rising when it surprisingly easy to get amazing tickets in section 5 right at the tip of the symbols arrow. Any such concerns were unfounded as it was an energetic, appreciative crowd with the usual healthy mix of old & new shcool I noticed at the previous Sydney shows. Loved the setlist...great guitar work...and the ultimate experience was when my wife and I simply wandered down to the floor to see what the stage was like up close and wouldn't you belive it....Prince comes back for 3 more encores! This time we were amongst a group of hundreds hovering around the stage amazed at our luck! The whole 'np pics no phones' policy was goooonnne as we pretty much all instinctively captured Prince from a metre away singing Days Of Wild, She's Always in my hair and the closer of IIWYG. Amazing experience.
