Just sorted my ticket. Very civilised this time round. Much cheaper that the std price, and decided to to pick one of the most plum seats. Means I don't need to skip work to early either. Happy days.

I'm in the 5th row on the corner of Block 16/15. Perfect position. Its silly that these are avaiable at nearly half the price in the secondary market, when we had to feast on scraps at the initial sale.

Hi. Am a new member. So hi to everyone. Lol. I saw prince on 15th at lg with a mate and was amazing!! Bit randomly i've got myself i standing ticket for the 19th. Be a lot closer to stage my mate wouldnt pay again and nobody else can make it. So goin on my own . Anybody else doin that? Drop me a message. Maybe meet up there! I plan gettin there about 4.30pm.

I'm not going Monday (went yesterday & going to Leeds) but I almost always go alone (my husband really doesn't like Prince & needs to babysit). However, I can honestly say that going alone has meant that I've met some of the nicest, most enthusiastic, like-minded people ever and whether its talking to a first-timer or someone who has been going to see him for 30 years it's great to hear the stories. If you don't get anyone on here to meet you then just talk to those around you in the queue....you'll be amazed at their friendliness.

Laura Mvula is opening for Prince tomorrow night ...just seen this on twitter.

Excellent news:

Of course, that';s always a possibility.

She might also end up sitting on the sofa like Marissa Jack has been doing - and as she did in Sweden back in 2011 when their paths crossed previously:

I'm going to say the obvious...but I didn't buy a ticket to see Laura Mvula. Unfortunately, knowing Prince, this will replace a good chunk of the set and we'll get 90 minutes(?)of standard tracks (LGC, she's slways in my hair, funknroll...I hope I'm wrong but I bet I'm not

would you still complain if mvula is on stage from around 7pm to 7:45 then they turn around the stage and prince comes on at 8:30-8:45?

Im in a similar position - going up on my own. Just bought a seated ticket to see Prince in block 5. I was hoping to find cheaper seats but couldn't find any.

I thought the same when I read the news and I too hope we are proven wrong. We are spending a lot of €€€ to travel over for this concert and it would be very disappointing if we got a much shorter show than the last 3. Damn, and the reviews were so good, I am so excited, but now a little concerned!!! Ah well...

She's being billed as co- headliner which doesn't bode well. I was unlucky enough to pick the only gig in February that lasted 80 minutes from on stage to being ushered out by security whereas every other gig was 2.5 to 3 hrs. I don't see his this CANT be a reduced Prince set...they can't start early otherwise it would be chaos and, if it's going to be the same length show, Laura Mvula needs to be on, finished and Princes stage ready all within 30-45 minutes...no way [Edited 5/18/14 14:03pm]

ah yeah fair enough, well hopefully it's a good long show with a similar start time to the previous few so we get a good mix of tracks. i am hoping to hear the max, the breakdown and the whole of the moon, plus hot thing and 1999 again

Sorry to break it to you but he done saw if he's been in around 8:30/8:45 for the other shows...not going to happen tomorrow. I'd say 9:15/9:30 best and, if lucky, 90 mins to curfew. Horribke feeling yet again it's going to be the bare bones set that every other gig gets without the extras - if that is the case it find be the final straw for me; guest apoearance is fine but co-headline/splitting the bill....not good

they're probably just saying co-headline as a figure of speech. being gracious because she is from birmingham. but even in a homecoming show she is not big enough to co-headline with prince at an arena - she is the support act.

we will see tomorrow but i don't think the show will be cut as short as you are suggesting.

I always used to think it must be so boring going to someone like Katy Perry with the same setlist everynight...but at least you know what your going to get and that it's the same value for money. Since Feb this whole thing has left be feeling quite different towards Prince because, from my experience it's just been a cash grab. Those at the decent shows in Feb won't get it but that KOKO gig was just one big rush to get through the bare minimum. Tomorrow will be
1:45 absolute max. Mark my words
