Nope, I'm in Southampton. Just can't do it without tickets during the week. It's possible I would consider it on a Saturday, Sunday to give me enough time to get there and queue but still unlikely.

I won't deny the potential cold wind and rain would put me off right now.

The right honourable gentleman would like to revise his earlier statement. YES!

lol, the Purple magician gets us all in the end!!! last nights gig sounded off the hook.

Sorry, I can't work out which day people are referring to cos of the time difference on this website....................

who is going to Q today?? ie 9.21am 10th Feb?

I'm all set to go as a friend of mine went last night & security were confident he would be playing again tonight............

hope you get lucky....

I'm going to give it a go tomorrow and maybe Wednesday, from Cheltenham. Glad I'm at University, otherwise I'd be coming from Leeds.

good luck to you 2!!

Thanks!

I drove down from Manchester yesterday, as soon as the gig was announced at 11:50 I jumped in my car, parked at the Westgate and was in the queue at 16:00, I left London at 23:00, was back in Manchester at 02:30.

Was a great gig, Prince was really interacting with the crowd, can't remember him looking like he was having so much fun in a long time, if you can get to the gigs, go .

u planning on going back this week?

It depends when it is and how much notice I get, I went a little faster than planned down the M6/M42 & M40, so hoping no cameras caught me

I work during the week and could only make the trip at weekends, it feels like all the ducks lined up and I used all my luck getting there and seeing a great gig.

Once the gig was officially announced on the radio, I figured it would go ahead and was worth the risk, I just jumped straight in the car, had the car already prepped with a tank of Diesel, sleeping bag, drinks, snacks, warm clothing etc just incase I got stuck and slept at a services etc.

I was really happy when the tickets were £10 as all afternoon I thought they were £70, so that paid for my Diesel ! Westgate carpark cost as much as the gig lol

prepared like a scout!..sometimes the stars are alligned & all falls into place. Sounds like a monster gig, hoping for more of the same this week.

Yep, all prepared, I figured if I had any chance to make it I couldn't be messing around getting stuff together.

To be honest, I never expected to get enough notice, I was expecting venues below 1000 like EB announced at like 4pm, so I never would have made it to London, I decided I was not going to travel all the way to London unless there was a confirmed gig, then I would take my chances.
