Hola Voyager,

No es nada seguro si Prince y su banda de verdad tocaran en Londres el dia 4 y 5 de Octubre. Ademas quizas pasaran por Madrid o Barcelona luego despues. Yo creo que es mejor esperar un mensaje offical del npgmc. Si no puedes esperarlo, te aviso mandar un email al npgmc para preguntarlos si de verdad tocaran en Londres el dia 4 y5 de octubre, o si tienes que esperar hasta las fechas officales estaran publicadas.[/quote]

Hola de nuevo. La verdad es que lógicamente no vamos a sacarnos los billetes ya, pero sí que por lo menos la gente sepa que vamos gente para allá de fuera, sobre todo si son de España, siempre y cuando se confirmen las fechas. Hay unos que van en "furgona" y otros iremos en avión. Venga, mantengamos un contacto y hablamos . Ta luego

Please add a (loose) translation in english. Thanks.

udo

I'll be totally happy if prince comes 2 europe. Nobody knows how long it will take until he comes again so I'm thinking about joining the npgmc club.

I don't know exactly about the advantages - do you get better cards for the european concerts or entrance 2 the
soundcheck?

Please give me some good advice,

E-Man

You should join the NPGMC - you'll get the cd's + the soundcheck access / after party access / great seats - do it! No doubt there will be a Euro ONA Laminate for the tour.

Guess what - I have booked and paid for a late holiday - leave 24th Sept. back 8th Oct. if these rumours are true - I will be gutted.

If anyone gets any positive info. b4 NPG Music Club let us know - please post immediately - I feel so sad!!! Suppose I can just go to the Manchester and Cardiff gigs.

I wrote a mail to NPGMC with the proposed dates and asked if they were official and more importantly I asked if there was any chance if he would play in Dublin,Ireland.Here is the reply I got...

High,

We have no info on any more tour dates at this time. When more dates r confirmed, we will emale all the members and post them on the site.

Now,I could be reading into the reply but the line where they say they have no more info on ANY MORE tour dates at this time may suggest that what I showed them in my original mail was indeed a correct listing and that they could not confirm if Dublin would be included at a later date.Then again it could be just wishful thinking on my behalf.What y'all think?

For those who don't know (there might be a few) NPGMC is King of the Vague (not Prince, King). You'll get the same answer everyone else does. Oh, they have plans, but we'll have to wait. They do not want to leak anything unless it's 100% booked & confirmed. Don't expect any real answer.

The date in Rotterdam cannot happen, cuz the day after there is a ski exchange in the Ahoy.

so he´d better come 2 Amsterdam!

Aaargh!
The h**nikken music hall!

Please don't let that happen!

udo

udo said:

wassup with that hall, eye´ve never been there B4: R the acoustics bad??

talk2thejay said:

It's just a personal thing. Acoustics don't matter. Even at the Ahoy things can sound fine.

Besides, what other +/- 5 to 10.000 capacity venues do we have?

udo

udo said:

Sorry, i dont know speak english. Not everybody must know this idiom (?). Sorry so much.

nunatak said:

correct

talk2thejay said:

agreed, I think he should play at the Carree theater, or the local concert hall, or any other great, classical and intimate place that is not like Ahoy. Moreover Ahoy acoustics suck big time and it will be another commercialised ticketmaster concert. that would suck too, since all kinds of Prince 'tourists' will come just to see "Prince" (you know that old superstar).

udo said:

he simply shouldn't play these large veues with a tour like ONA.
And Ahoy's acoustics do suck. Heineken music hall I don't know much about. I only know they organize lots of house/dance parties there.

Voyager said:

i will do that

UDO we were talking about Voyager's plans to go and see Prince in London with other Spaniards. I told V. it would be a better idea to wait for the official announcements since these dates are not sure at all. She then said that the plan doesn't involve buying travel tickets yet, but is more like sending out a message to the spanish people who would want to come along if Prince plays in London but not in spain.

hasta luego voyager, nos hablamos.

Abrazo said:

YEAH, Carre would B awesome!!!

Eye would love 2 C him perform in a classical & intimate place, like:
- Circustheater (Scheveningen);
- Stadsschouwburg (Amsterdam).

Ahoy sucks donkeyballs!

Abrazo said:

Just stand at the right spot in Ahoy and all will be fine.

udo

Abrazo said:

Thanks!
Good advice.

udo

talk2thejay said:

With such small venues prices would REALLY be 100+ Euro.
But with tickets priced at 50 Euro venues like Ahoy would still be possible without attracting too much Prince 'tourists', I guess.

Besided Ahoy and the HMH, isn't there a nice venue in the Netherlands that holds between 5 and 10.000?

udo

PS: check out my comment on the Ahoy acoustics.
