Crazy...how does a 57-year old have the energy to do two concerts coming from a 20 hour flight from Australia just two days prior?

Having a private jet would help ... a little.

Perhaps 20 hours worth of rest? lol



It's so true though. He pushes himself so hard. Even with sleeping on his flights doesn't he ever suffer from jet lag?

I was lucky enough to be in the 2nd row for his 2nd Sydney Opera House show. He doesn't have even the slightest ounce of body fat. He's waifer thin like a Supermodel. He must be insanely fit! He was jumping around doing some shadow boxing moves. He's lightning fast by the way.

Aarrgh!!! Bad timing on my part to be in SE Asia this week. Only back March 1.

The Paramount is a special venue. Amazing place.

From New Zealand:

Prince ticketholders have been sent strict instructions about tonight's first New Zealand shows by the megastar - including no cellphones.

The Purple Rain and Kiss hitmaker performs his first ever shows in New Zealand at Auckland's ASB Theatre tonight, one at 6.30pm, the second at 10pm.

Tickets for both shows sold out in less than 10 minutes, and in an anti-scalping measure, fans won't be getting their passes until this afternoon.

As of this morning, a small selection of tickets were available for both shows around the $400 range after a selection of "production tickets" were released.

But in an email sent to all ticketholders, promoters outlined strict concert guidelines that included anyone using a cellphone being escorted from the venue.

"Strictly no photography or video allowed. The use of mobile phones will not be permitted during the show. Any person using a mobile phone or camera/video device will be identified by security and asked to leave the venue immediately."

Cellphones and selfie sticks have become a common sight at concerts in recent years, with fans either filming segments or snapping photos as mementos.

One Prince fan who saw him perform in London recently said the same rules applied and people were asked to leave at the beginning of the show.

But by the end, cellphone usage was overwhelming and security gave up, she said.

Other guidelines emailed to ticketholders yesterday included "large handbags or other large bags" being checked in, and fans arriving with tickets and wristbands intact.

Prince is extremely strict about his music, refusing to put his videos on YouTube or allow his songs to be streamed on most music services.

As a result, little footage has been captured from his recent Australian shows - but he did post this "snippet" on his Twitter account.

The tips great & all but someone replied with this about the ticketmaster phone app - I don't know you guys but when I try to but tickets on Ticketmaster app (I'm on an iPhone), it asks me to enter a NEW credit card, it won't read the one I have saved in my account, but when I add the card again, it says it's already in my system. So basically I can't buy tickets there sad Any help? has this happened to you? thanks!!

The show in Perth is on the 25th, right? That leaves the 26th & 27th for travelling, resting and adjusting from your jet lag. Plus, when it's 7 am in Australia on the 26th, it's noon on the 25th in California.

Only thing it offered me so far was one of the super expensive ($300 with fees) tickets for Row N FAAAAAR right had side. Had to pass on that. Still refreshing hoping for a lower priced ticket to free up, but chances are slim.
