What list of dates was published well before the presales started?

.

Or will we get the common show here-show there method of announcing stuff?

.

Not just a prince turns up in a city and asks to play venues tomorrow.

.

I do not see dates yet so anything less than four weeks lead time is unplanned.

Back in the day we had months and months of time bweteen the presales and the show and proper lists of venues to choose from.

.

Yeah, we can dream though, right?

.

To dream you have to be asleep. (Same as with the `american dream`; you have to be asleep to believe it)

I'd rather stay put in reality.

Prince has, the past few years or so, not really stuck to long time schedules, commitments of any kind, etc.

Now that is what you need to call bullshit or I will call bullshit on you.

I dont see any proof of planning? I work in Events management, to me it seems like the promoter is still trying to figure it out, maybe even holding out on a couple of venues/dates in each area to try and get cut priced venue hire the closer it gets.

It is again another unorganised tour, the article originally put out stated contracts in some areas are not signed yet, which is why no dates have been given,

Yeah. The show in my hometown would be next week and the venue still knows nothing about it at all and no information on ticketsale yet

oh, i was being relative. This is pretty planned for Prince.

Fine, I give up. It's gonna be a mess, sure he can't even play piano!

I actually think it will be great, just need to sort out tickets, which i feel is going to be the worst part

Just at thought, but if Prince will only play capital cities. Does that mean that by playing Barcelona he supports the Catalonian call for independence?

[Edited 11/10/15 2:38am]

Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow are not Capital cities?

Good point, or are there some tensions wo don't know about yet?

I'm most afraid of the price range.....

The venues so far are not much different capacity than the venues on the first lot of Hit & Run's., and there are less overheads.

I cant seem them being any more than £80-£100 myself but who knows

For Amsterdam the rumoured venue is absolutely smaller than the previous one (17.000 versus 1.756).

I'd also estimate that price range. That's what is was for the first HitnRun shows in Manchester in Feb last year in the smaller venues.

.

It's a good price in a way as it puts off any casual fans trying for tickets. Personally I wouldn't mind 2 shows a night as I'd aim to go to both.

150 plus means me no go.

with that amount of cash I can do other things that last longer, maybe buy them bootlegs.

Lets just wait and see first.

I hope I'm wrong but I think prince will be going for the upper market with this tour. ie, people with money!

Might strugle in Liverpool then (I jokes)

Im expecting the ticket prices to be around 150 pound mark, or above.

Yeah, me too. Will need 2x tickets so may be priced out this close to Christmas.

If it ends up being >£100 a ticket in the run up to Christmas, I'll have to pass.

WHY? me and my fellow drug dealers and robbers have plenty of money.

Not so much of a 'strugle' here now (I jokes)

In any case, no ticket alarms so far in any of the on-line selling tickets websites (at least for Italy, Switzerland and Germany)...
