just a heads up for anyone who asnt been to the fox before , they sound is really bad, notsure how it will be for just a one person band also most off the orchestra is over a overhang of the balocony wich is also very bad,



the orchestra is on a steep up deppending on what row you are on. so like 10 rows all the same hieght, then the next 10 raused up , and so on and so on.anywhere past the first 15 rows on the floor are preety bad.



usualy the floor is general admision and you get wristband for the floor

Prince is playing at the Paramount theater this time; he played at the Fox in 2013. The sound in the balcony at the Fox was pretty good from what I remember.


That was 2014 I think. And then you and I also scored Fillmore tickets. Unless time is really flying fast.

For West Coast folks still looking, I just saw a single seat about six rows back in Orchestra (row H) on the aisle for $273 plus fees. It's 9 pm EST right now. So keep trying and good luck!

10pm. A nightmare of suspense in that I typed in my cc number but, because it was already saved, they would not process the ticket. As in WTF!!!!! So I used a different card and hit SUBMIT with 15 seconds to spare.

Yes! Nothing like ticketmaster to make a person crazy. At least I did not have to identify any pictures this time. Have fun. My Kiwi friends loved the show.

Gotta be real I wasn't too excited about the concept in the beginning but warming up to it.

I used to love and hate when Tix just appeared out of nowhere after not being available early-on...

Glad those days are over..

This is hilarious. lol razz neutral I ws up all night waiting for news from my sister to see if my brother would have to have more surgery and I tried to buy a ticket. Couldn't do it either by phone or computer. Tried again at 8 a.m.. The same ticket showed up. Couldn't reach anyone by phone or buy it on the computer. Enough is enough. I won't top the last concert I saw in 2013 anyway. And my brother won't have to have more surgery and the new Wynonna Judd album that got me through the night is excellent. This is why we have Prince bootlegs. wink

Not with an old fashioned flip phone... lol The point is that TM is a scam. I couldn't even reach a physical person this morning. I was just interested to see what happened with that ticket that has been sitting there on the map for 12 hours... lol

That one remaining ticket in row "H" for the 7p.m. show is now gone.

However Ticketmaster isn't saying the show is sold out. Only that tickets aren't currently available. If you give them your phone number they apparently will call you if tickets become available.

I guess if the goal is to extract every last dollar from the paying public, this strategy may be effective in the short-run. However, if you take into account the ill-will they are creating, in the long run the strategy sucks!

Me and my Prince traveling buddy were debating early on whether to pay TM scalper prices if we didn't get tickets at the posted prices. Fortunately we did get the normally priced tickets. But if we had had to pay the inflated prices I wasn't going.

As long as there are people willing to pay 3 or 4 times face value to get good tickets, this practice will continue. In the long run I guess it will depend on whether this strategy for pricing gets enough people to buy tickets at inflated prices.

Prince's ticket selling strategy for the PP shows was great. Why not use that ticketing system for these shows as well?

The other part of this that was messed up was allowing people to get 4 tickets.

I think they released some of those overpriced tickets this morning at the normal ($270 plus fees) price. It seems as though they had only offered a few tickets at 12 on Wednesday and they just keep leaking them out. Makes people absolutely crazy.

Yup. I just got a ticket (Orchestra row O, center) for the 10pm at normal price. It's 4:44pm on Saturday. Try now!

Also, don't try to pick your seats. Click on the PICK MY SEATS tab. I can see that there's still tickets that way (5:13pm).

If there's still tickets why won't they show them on the map. I'm too tired of the TM game. I have other things to do... neutral
