The VIP thing does sound interesting!! I will see what transpires. If we need to book out a boat we could probably manage if we all club in together.

meet up goes without saying...

Count me in guys.....get on the boat people!!

i'll help fill the VIP trip...and beers and cheers as we party like its 2007!
lol

im aimin for at least 3 concerts and various meet ups!

GOING TO TRY FOR THE FIRST SATURDAY NIGHT AND MAYBE THE FIRST FRIDAY AS WELL

FunkyBrotha said:

Amen to that...at those prices....3 would be good. Anyone wanting to hook uo for beers etc please feel free to org me. Lets try to arrange a few pre drinks...lol Anything to party...and what better way than in the name of Prince.

Peace!

im tryin for the first fri and sat, and then prob the followin sat!

weekend gigs are gonna be selling fast so a saturday pre concert bevvie would seem logical.

How you doing? It's been a while. Your is well recieved, I will savour the jucy aroma, and pray the scent lingers in my nose right up until August 1st.

Sounds like a plan. We are booking for the 10th and hoping to get VIP on the 11th. Bringing the dutch over too

Count me in, I am going to both Friday & Sat shows both weekends.

i'm doing good. thought of the euro folks during the miami invasion. you gotta come to the states soon.

and enjoy the scent....oh yeah, and the show.

I'm attending (so far) the 1st, 10th and 11th of August shows, with the 11th being VIP. Bring it on baby!!

Getting flights from Glasgow, accommodation etc. is the only thing that has stopped me from booking more dates.. Oh, and getting time off work I suppose!

However, it would be nice to meet up with anyone I know or would possibly like to know.

I'm going on the 3rd, 4th, 10th and VIP on 11th so far.
Having a clingy toddler who hates when his mummy goes out of the room, let alone away for two weekends in a row is the only thing that's stopping me from going to ALL the dates!
Definitely up for meeting before any of these gigs!!

save a seat and have a drink for me Steve

(yes that IS meant to be an alcoholic drink )

Well if it's not just people who've met up b4, my friends and i are going on the 10th, 11th and 14th. Pre drinks sound good

Count me in. 11th & 31st

We need someone who knows the area to name a pub/bar where we can meet

Heh good stuff GoldiesParade... last time we met was at the ONA show in London
I'm coming to the 17th and 18th, so it'd be awesome to meet up with some familiar faces for a few beers.

I just bought two VIP-tickets for the 7th. As the price is so high, I'm planning to stay at least a few days and have the time of my life over there. I hope to meet some of you guys.

Sat 11th is looking popular, that is not to say we can't do other nights too though.


Nat wish you could still be here rocking it with us, talk about bad time for a visa to run out

Im going the 1st, 3rd (VIP) 11th and the 14th

Would love to know who else is going on those dates. PM me with ur details so we can ensure we all meet up for drinks and giggles...pre prince party....wouldnt it great if alive to the 20th anniversary of SOTT he played a few tracks from that album....a medly of 10 mins would be awesome huh?

I am going for 10th and the 28th August, couldnt get 11th

As for beer, you know me, opening of an envelope and all that

Im going on the 1st(VIP), 4th, 10th, 14th, 18th, August and 1st and 13th September.
Wanted to go on the 11th but no tix, not even VIP. plus im working but I,m gonna pull a sickie at work and try and get tickets outside.
Im up for pre-gig meet ups, sounds great.

i have tix 4 all nites bar 1 nite i don't think i can go, and i'll b getting tix 4 all the other shows and figure out getting there etc closer the time

i got accomodation sorted 4 1/2/3/4/10/11/17/18/31aug /1/9/10/11/12/13sept and will prolly stay down for the shows on 16/17 and back on 18th sept and back down on thursday for the last two shows on 20/21 sept

i'm gonna b getting an open return train ticket so i can leave a day or so early and stay late if more gigs r announced. i got flexible time off at work so i can come and go.

it's just the gigs on 7/14/28 aug and 6th sep that i might skip as those dates r on thier own. if more shows r announced back 2 back from them i'll go down. i need a 2 show minimum 2 c prints these days i got vip tix on the 1st nite so got a spare normal ticket, and if i dont go on those 7/14/28/6 shows i'll have them spare 2. almost all tix r lower tier

as ppl r spread over hotels all over london, i think thats needed is a bar that is close 2 the o2 (ie the bar in the o2) so that it's pretty fixed that every nite from x time to y time ppl will b there 2 meetup, rather than change venues and times and stuff.

as the 02 isn't open yet, it's hard 2 plan whats inside, so does any londonners know any places nearby that would suit?

i'm staying at a mix of places, such as the holiday inn docklands and custom house docklands and a place near hyde pack for the long stretch in september (i'm hoping 2 find some1 2 share rooms on 3/4/17/18/31/1). my mum is making me one of them pearly kings suits made of buttoms with a big symbol on the back and 3121/prince down the side so i can fit in with the locals and the white stripes

Agree with unique. Best place to meet is some bar close to the O2. I wouldnt do the o2 bar though, too many people maybe not interested in fans, but somewhere close to the venue... if any londoners have some ideas ... jeez its three months ahead and Im thinking on this? Im not sane.

Delores said:

Great idea, nice and close, otherwise too far from the venue will make me itchy.

Delores said:

i've put the word out 2 find a suitable venue near the o2 (by asking londonners who don't like prints but know the area)

i wonder if there is a suitable bar in any of the docklands hotels? like holiday inn, customs house or travelodge as that could b a good place, and it might b easy 2 park there, and ppl can maybe arrange 2 share cars/taxis/etc 4 the inevitable mad dash 2 the aftershow venue, as knowing prints the aftershow has 2 b on the other side of london (just like rushing from st paul back 2 chanhassen 2 get there 2 c the prints b4 midnite strikes). having the aftershows in the o2 smaller venue would b 2 obvious and simple

is any1 going 2 c the strolling bones play between 21-26 august btw?
