Absolutely nuts that the queue is hitting 300 by 10am. I love prince but 5-6 hours of queuing this is enough for me.

I have barely managed to catch my kids to get them dressed and there is already 300 in the queue... Only got 1 1/2 h to get there but now I doubt I will get in

I wouldn't panic. If SBE is anything to go by, the queue peaked at about 600-700, then took hours to grow twice that length.

Exactly - i'm not bothering today, might make the trip to manchester tho.

Someone else just tweeted that it's about 150, so who knows.

I've just rolled out of bed....1.5 hour journey for me to, and I was in two minds. Reading this has swung it for me though. No way I'm standing outside for that long! Good luck to all those going!

That's good to know, cheers. I think it may be different this time though due to the more advanced notice, so many more people will be travelling in from much further afield.

Depends pn your definition of late versus the curfew.

You honestly think they'd kick the people out that have queued up since 7am to let in the ones who showed up at 6pm?? One show surely.

Myself and others queued for over 7 hours at the Electric Ballroom then got sent home to let the rest in who then got a longer show.

If it wasn't for tonights curfew, and there was enough people to almost fill the venue again then yep, they probably would! If they cared enough about the fans they wouldnt be making them Q from silly time this morning. But I think today will be 1 show, they will still be trying to get everyone in still at about 8:45 let alone getting them back out again in time for a 2nd.

Of course, the easy answer would be for Prince to start a first show at 7pm, allowing himself plenty of time for two 90 shows. But thats far too logical. Best blame the cerfew rather than the organisation.

I'm sorry. I was wrong. I forgot. It was 19 f ing years ago. You're all right. It was the NPG SAMPLER. Now I gotta go as I need to start a q

Thanks for the apology man, it was a very long time ago. Best of luck in the queue, glad to see a fellow Irishman will be at the gig.

Koko just confirmed hes playing 3 shows, doors open at 6.

Fuck me sideways. Its confirmed too!

Am taking a plane to London tomorrow, but am only arriving at 12.35. From there to a friend's place to drop of suitcase and off to Ronnie Scott's. Considering what I read today regarding tonight's concert, it looks I may not make it on time

How much chance do you give me to get inside?

(Am really annoyed as I took a gamble and booked tickets to London to see Prince from Feb 17 till Feb 21. Looks like I may not see him at all!!! )

I truly hope for another venue still this week.

Good grief, you may get all of an hour per 'concert'...

Yeah, it looks like... but an hour of Prince? I am still totally jealous of everyone able to go!

Two shows would be ideal - but 3 not so sure about that, especially at £70
