personaly seeing him just with in a piano in a 20,000 seat arena is crazy.boring and way over priced, its a theater tour. but prince wants as munch money as he can get thats all.

I was at the show at Perth Arena in Australia on the 25th. It was awesome! 14 000 people in the round and everone was standing by the end. A 14 000 person "choir" is amazing, sound was outstanding. I went home deaf from crowd noise. Don't miss it, you won't regret it.

The prices for the lower seats are very expensive, very disappointing, Prince is making an absolute killing on this tour, can see this tour going on for some time. Me, I might just pour a glass of wine, find a quiet room and put a good quality bootleg of the tour on , close my eyes, and pretend I'm there! (No I don't have one YET.)

Ticket prices are outrageous! What has happened with Prince? He has become a joke and unfortunately his fans have become the punchline! These random shows and eratic behavior are like an addict only concerned about their next fix. I can't, in good faith, contribute to his schemes anymore. mad

Well, one thing is for sure... for bigger shows you don't have to worry about getting tickets. They don't sell out as they used to. There are tons of great tickets still available and I I suspect that they blocket the sale of the cheaper tickets to push for higher value tickets. I am almost 100% sure that some upper sections will be closed off and that folks will get upgradeed at the venue (like we say during previous tours)

The good news is that I no longer will stress out about ticket sales

no your not , your a very tiny part, the ones who will pay whatever he wants to see him, he needs to play the hits and casual people to sell the tickets for arenas. casual people dont care they only want to hear purple rain thats his mass target audience.

Totally agree. If I was a local, I'd wait till the day of the show before buying tix. I bet good and cheap seats are gonna pop up. Ticketmaster is a racket - they try to trick you into thinking shows are sold out when they aren't.

TM has done the same thing with other shows I wanted to attend that were supposedly sold out.

ok do you goto any concerts these days? This isn't the 80's. Prince is a Top Shelf live artist. It doens't get any better. His prices are actually pretty reasonable comopared to other artists out there commanding 10 times whatt he's charging. This show in particular is well woth the money. Saw it Sunday and if I didn't have a commitment I would see it again.

about three years ago here in MN i bought tickets to a prince show for something like $150 each. come to the day before the concert, ticket monster (or whoever) let the unsold tickets go for $50 just to sell the remainder. that was when i learned that something is really fishy in the ticketing industry....

I paid $200 to stand next to the stage to see Prince in 2013; that was more than worth the money for the experience. That won't happen in this instance. Some things can't be topped.
