So, Prince fam of the .org, I'd like to discuss...early show vs. late show. With the late show he can likely go as long as he wants until venue curfew, but depending on what type of show a person is interested in, that doesn't inherently mean it will be the "better" show. For example, might the early shows be more focused on songs in his canon and new material, while the later ones lean toward covers, jams, etc.? Of course, every single date/show could be different as the one constant is Prince does what he wants to do. With that said, your thoughts on eary show vs. late? Thanks in advance for replies.

I've never been able to figure out a "pattern" with his shows and what would be better (night 1 vs night 2; first vs late show). I've seen him at three small venues and several large arenas. So far, those three shows have been the BEST show experiences of my life! I don't think we'll be disappointed. My goal is to get my butt IN THERE!!!! It's going to be fantastic no matter what.

My goal is to shoot for one of the Seattle Thursday night shows because most people will probably go for Friday night.

anyone have an idea when tickets for small things like these usually go on sale?

A better idea would be to simply sell both shows at once as a package deal where the venue won't even have to clear out...not going to come up with some huge idea, but a rough draft would be this:

7:30-9:00 first show

9:00-11:00 local band/or support act like The Time

11:00-1:00 second show

That would limit the amount of different people who could potentially see the act.

FYI (I would like to buy two shows at once though.)

All well and good for them. I could use a new song or 2, so that I'm not too jealous about it.

i really hope he adds some more shows, i wont be able to see any of these as i am still in school right now. Please add some summer shows Mr. Prince!

Hefty tours Schedule for serious wear and tear in a short timeframe.

I would not want to see a show with a bunch of Hefty Trash Bags.

What would be great is for Prince to do a tour where he stayed in the same area for a week at a time, hitting clubs and arenas all within a 300 mile range every 10 days so the travel doesn't drive him crazy. 8 shows in 10 days without going more than 100 miles in a day would be easy.

Smaller venues have had the early show/late show format for some time now. It's not rocket surgery.

And it'd force us to read threads about how the shows were the same or whatever nonsense.

If I can go I will. Meaning if I can score a ticket.

Hey, how are you!? I'd go if I'd had more notice and had been able to schedule the time off work!! Unless something changes, I'm OOL for this tour.

Showbox at the Market (Seattle) has other shows listed for April 18 and 19.

http://www.showboxonline.com/events.php?page=4#page

Maybe he will play at Showbox SoDo...

I was thinking the same thing but did you see the bands scheduled? E40. I'm pretty sure they will bounce him down to Showbox Sodo.

The Showbox site says the SoDo location is bigger so maybe that will be okay. It will be really tough to get tickets either way. The Paramount show for One Night Alone sold out super fast, though it was a great show.

Holy shit...Prince is coming to San Diego.

Since the 1999 tour, he has only played here twice.

It B on!!!!

Is this just with the three girls as a band?

It says, "You can watch the playback of the show HERE ."

Really?

Not sure if this has already been posted but here u can watch the actual announcement...I think they say they r still in the planning process of the tour?

that would be a good idea if he brought out groups like the time,shelia e, fdeluxe,king,andy allo, so many others he could bring out just to let them get some shine

Looking at the sizes of these venues I can't see these shows other than as try-outs.

In the past he did that at the Park.

GONNA BE HELLUVA!!

Dig if you will the tour poster.

Well if this is a 3rdEyeGirl featuring Prince tour then the poster is misleading as it definitely advertises a Prince show (the biggest font on the poster).

Lucky lucky Americans

Notice Prince is shhh-ing with a 3rd eye lens flare effect on his forhead.

hmmm.....my cousin lives just down the road from the marque in AZ. should I consider this? or should I not? decisions decisions...

Already saving the pennies...

I just saw Garbage at the Sodo location and it's a very cool venue for the type of show it seems like he's doing. Very intimate and with "pit" set up (no chairs!). He's the only artist I'll endure a pit for.

I was at the show he did December 2011 in Tacoma and the afterjam in Seattle. A lot of people were very disappointed in the show but the afterjam was AMAZING! He pretty much played back up to his band and backup singers. He bounced around and played every damn instrument on that stage. I was standing next to people who went because of their fond memories of the Prince from the 80's/90's. They were shocked and impressed at this musicianship having never heard him perform like this.

I live in the Seattle area and I have never been disappointed by his shows and performances. I'm going no matter what!

I tried to get tickets to the One Night Alone at the Paramount and my credit card saved on Ticketmaster had expired and I forgot to update it. Sold out before I could update my info. I WAS CRUSHED! Then I jumped back on and purchased a single ticket to Portland. Borrowed a friend's NPG member pass she had used at the Seattle show and got into the afterjam as well! BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!
