For those who went tonight, did all tickets indicate the designated area (i.e. stalls standing or level 1/2/3) depending on your place in the queue?

had my coat on, car keys in hand then heard that numbers were at 1600 so decicded against it, gutted!!! hoping that this is not the first uk tour since 86 im not going to see!! all those who made the effort , hope u had a great time!!!

It's very likely i'm travelling down tomorrow on the off chance he plays there again. I'm heading down from Manchester however and it's gonna cost a bomb. I will be rather pissed if it turns out to be a waste of time and money!

First lot of tickets were floor, then 1st, 2nd, 3rd tier given out as people entered...

Went down to Shepherd's Bush at 5pm with a pocketful of cash....We got numbers 1037 and 1038 in the queue.....10 pound surprise at the box office, great seats on first balcony a few meters away from George Clinton! This first Prince gig for me was a real kicker! But I still prefer online sales rather than waiting out in the cold. Nonetheless, it was well worth the tired limbs and I'll certainly go again as more gigs are announced!

Was there any mention of a gig tomorrow?

Word on the street.....same place tomorrow. Also, anyone else notice the kit was not dismantled.....hmmm.

Didn't say anything about playing again tomorrow, but I wouldn't rule anything out.

I decided to take a chance and head over about 6pm. Arrived just after 7pm and was around the 1200 mark. Still thought tickets were £70 then heard that they'd gone down to £10. Think the whole thing was a clever PR move, and kept those who might have turned up to push and shove away.

Seemed the later you were the higher your seats. I was in L2, and once it filled it looked like they put more people in on the upper level.

Prince and 3rdEyeGirl phenomenal. Place was jumping, audience in fine form and singing well.

Sounds great. Must have been surreal having George Clinton so close!

So many people turning up and pushing in. Getting concerned.

queued in 95 at the dublin concert for hours (had a ticket though). Was at front of que. Then guys just marched up to the front of queue.

Still got to front row though

I was there for that too. Loved every minute of it.

SquirrelMeat & Unique

Many thanks for your update earlier about numbers in Q, once I got your replys I jumped in car from Waltham Abbey, mad dash around M25 to meet my daughter off the M25/M4, got into Sheppard Bush 7:45, parked, ran to the venue, got in about 8:20/30ish, caught end of Shes Always In My Hair onwards.

Great night.

It it wasn't for your update I would have sat at home kicking myself, so cheers fellas

gear was being removed and put onto truck so same place tomorrow is unlikely and u would have thought prince would have mentioned it as he did at camden

Glad to hear it! I drove in from Royston and it took an hour and quarter. Pretty good really.

Oh god no. I've just booked a train to London on the chance that he's gonna play tomorrow!
