Just can't believe it - only took my eyes off the web for an hour and have missed out. Had train, hotel the lot booked and ready

Gutted for you - I think I was about 2 minutes from being in the same boat. Watched the Brits - joked with my wife and her friend about him mentioning Manchester in front of an audience of millions (keep it on the DL Princey!!!) and then we sat down to dinner. Spent 15 minutes explaining/discussing/justifying the "no tickets/ queue for hours" concept and actually said something along the lines of I hope there's no advance ticket sale in case I miss out....just happened to check twitter on my phone and quickly left the table. Many repeated attempts later I appear to be one of the lucky ones - although I'm in a genuine daze at the moment and won't believe it until I get the confirmation e-mail and print the tix!

Thanks - glad you got sorted though! Good to see that at least some genuine folk got lucky and not just touts. Think I'll still take my chances on the limited numbers at the door!

Get on seatwave if you wanna go. 200quid looks the best price. It's worth it but the touts are bastards.

£200 each PLUS a £70 "booking fee"

Just seen on the Ticketline Facebook page that there will be a second show on the Saturday!

No update yet on the ticketline site!

Ticketline site coming back up. Still only one show each night but also now says there will be a limited number of tickets on the door...

id just like to thank the orger who posted that tickets were on sale. it makes up for missing out on sign o the times at wembley and 1991 blenheim palace. cant wait to see him again. thanks from a crewe prince fan.

I really hope everyone has a awesome time who got tickets a lot of touts got them showing as £280 on ebay.

I just don't have that sort of money.

Little bit cheaper on seatwave.

Love how his manager tweets the links and news ages after they've sold out, then deletes all of the "you're too late love" replies to her tweets!

Give the fact they've just sold in the region of 4000 tickets in about half an hour basically through word of mouth I suspect second shows may be added both nights.

That will depend on whether the venue has a late night licence and whether the first tickets state anything to say it is 1 of 2 shows or not

I am not too sure

I just hope this limited amount of tickets on the door doesnt turn into two shows and cut the first show short for a 2nd show to go on longer

I spent the entire 30 minutes they were on sale timing out and trying again ... nothing

Flights booked.....hotel booked.....weather proof clothes packed...lunched preped

and while I was a my daughters mass...tickets announced and sold out.....what are the chances of getting ticket at the door like we assummed now!!

gutted

Tickets on sale now people. Ticketline.

Juicyjay....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I managed to get two tickets, thanks to your post. You are an absolute star. My heart was pounding so much whilst processing the tickets I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Cant believe it - thanks again!!!!!

So glad I could help. I was exactly the same. I have been avidly watching Twitter for nearly 2 weeks and couldn't believe it when I saw the one tweet. My first thought was Prince.org. Roll on Friday!x

Tickets...tickets....anyone need tickets, I'll buy or sell...

.

Update: Notice the wink people. It don;t have any to sell!

Hopefully now Prince sees the UK demand to see him live he announces a proper tour in larger venues - maybe these gigs are kind of rehearsals for 3rdeyedgirl. I know people like to see him in small venues but soooo many people end up missing out - and Manchester Academy is over 18s only. Didn't get tickets and now I'm feeling so blue.

Have a great time in Manchester Prince and everyone who got tickets

Just missed out, came home and saw the message on org, straight oin site but it let me select amount then said not available, question is how many available on the door, will be a big queue as people know these shows are for definite now.

Hey squirrel, where is wolfie about now? I am gutted missing out, must have been not watching for about twenty mins as putting my baby to sleep. Such is life. Now does anyone have any spares ?

What I'm absolutely gutted about is I saw the notice early, decided not to go when I saw it was 70 quid, but had 4 in the basket. I didn't pull the trigger because it wasn't clear how the tickets would be distributed. I would have happiliy snapped them up for orgers, but it was a big unknown if they would be tranferable. Would loved to have passed them onto you.

i'll guess i will join the queue in hope. never stopped listening. from a manchester fan (went to birmingham lovesexy, sheffield). thats the price of liking a genius.

I missed it too watching the shits I mean Brits.

How much were they?

Anyone selling any spares? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.......

hi everyone, does anyone know if it is all standing at the venue?

i think thats what its leading to, he will be back for some bigger shows.... Maybe the Hyde park rumour might not be too far fetched
