I have one seated ticket in block 102 - next to me free if anyone wants it. Willing to take less than face value for anyone that can give me a good reason why they should get it at a less than face value price. (anyone else struggle to write the word price ?? )

Swap ya for the spare friday one I have, then we get to go twice

Unfortunately I can't make the Friday as I don't live in Manchester or I would do that. But if you want it make an offer

Two standing tickets still available for Friday in Manchester. Will listen to offers...

What time r u all thinking of getting there tomorrow? Looking at twitter it seems that it was a bit chaotic getting in tonight even for those who queued all day?

Yeah doesn't sound very organised and I hope they sort their shit out for tomorrow as it's not fair on people who did queue all day.

I have seated for exactly this reason.

OMG! I've gone totally bonkers but... on a whim i've just decided to buy a ticket, book a hotel and get a train from Canterbury in Kent.

I'm going to freaking Manchester to see Prince!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't... breath......

I'm leaving in a couple of hours. sooooooo excited. It'll be my first Prince concert in nearly 20 years & the reviews so far sound amazing (P's timing has been impeccable since 1995 regarding touring when I can't go for one reason or another). Personally I hope he doesn't overrun the curfew (or not by too much anyway) as I have a very long drive home and it is my twin daughters 3rd birthdays tomorrow so no doubt a very early start for them! However he has 3 hours between 8 and 11 that I'm happy for him to fill with whatever hits/rarities he chooses

Won't get to arena till about 7. This be ok for standing slot based on other nights?

Hard to say - was chaotic indeed yesterday. Had us queuing in the concourse after the doors opened cos he was still soundchecking (probably playing FIFA - Hull / Arsenal all day I'll warrant). But if he has soundchecked peeps may be straight in - but then its down a load of stairs and a sprint to the front with security rugby tackling you. You should be ok - but I don't think horrendously close, but everyone was pretty civil where I was and there was room to dance and not too packed up (I was about 5/6 rows back maybe) - so you may be able to wiggle a little further forward (but be nice about it!).

-

I'm seating today - may regret it, but hey what ya gonna do - different view etc. Look at a map of the arena and go down a 'standing entrance' that is nearer the stage (there are probably 7 or 8, maybe more of these coming down through the seating. So look for the an entrance near the entrances for blocks 115 and the one opposite maybe. Avoid entrances near the merch stands - they fucked us over by queuing beyond it and letting people who came later sneak in and get in earlier (they say the won't but the do) - incompetent at the MEN to be honest.

-

Good. And remember, if it breaks when it bends...

-

Anyone seating whose meeting up anywhere earlier? Wondering about getting to see some of the Cup Final before going on in like. Knowing our luck it'll be extra time and penalties! Looking forward to see miserable Arsenal fans again!

Yeah like Mikey said, they had everyone queue up inside too after queuing outside for a good while. I was down towards the sides near the barrier plenty of space to get down close and it didnt really fill up till getting on to 8pm onwards so you should be fine.

Security told us last night they have been told to be prepared for going over curfew, Its more of a council rule than the arenas, from what he was saying basically if he goes past it, no one is going to stop him and he will be done when he's done. Hoping this might be the case tonight with no show tomorrow.

On our way!!! we can't wait, see you all there folks.

There's the City Games going on here at the moment folks so it might be a bit tricky parking and getting down Deansgate wil be imposible seeing as there's a runing track down most of it!!

I'm sure you're enjoying a fantastic Prince concert at the moment, but may I take the opportunity to snicker?
