The planned distribution method was highly technical - Get everyone in a pub, check they were who they said they were , and then give them a ticket  Cheers for trying Gav. Glad to see you were building a pub trip in too! Trust me, I need a drink after today !  | |

Hey Nana, are you still going to the Brits show? I'm on a corporate table, but I'm not sure where it is located. I find out when I get there.
Where will you be? . | |

Nope - complete false rumour according to the record company. They were looking at venues with 800-1000 capacity. If it was booked, it was nothing to do with them and may well have been a promotional gag by 10-Rooms owners. You never know though. One thing I've learned in 25 years of being a Prince fan is that anything can happen at any time and just as easily change at a moments notice. | |

Do you think its worth going up to 10 room anyway? or is there *Really* no chance? i mean, is it likely he will do a gig even without universal sorting it out for him? | |

Anything's possible but I'm still sitting at home
I was hoping for free tickets to the Nobu drinks as compensation for running my arse off today but oh well | |

I love the .org. 'nana and Gav, you are wonderful 
I have my fingers crossed for all you in London that Prince will manage to pull a show off for ya'll. Gav, I know this isn't the same but here 
The effort you put in not only to try to arrange the gig but also include the .org and .housequake is remarkable! I'm firmly planted in denial |

Gav said: All,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, however after a whole day of absolute pandemonium, Universal Records have decided to cancel the plan for a Prince aftershow gig tonight. I know many are planning on making the trip regardless, however I have been asked by the record company to clarify that there will be NO AFTERSHOW GIG tonight. Prince only requested this morning that he wanted to play and unfortunately setting up such an event on such a busy night for the music business was logistically impossible. Ironically the one thing that we did have set up was a generous ticket allocation for Prince fans. On behalf of Island Records (a division of Universal) I can only apologise for the delays and confusion that has been happening about tonight. Prince's current plan is to leave the UK in the morning, however one thing I'm sure everyone as Prince fans appreciate - things can change (just not at such short notice
Gavin McLaughlin Uptown Magazine Thanks for the info and all your efforts! It's amazing that even after Prince 'went underground', he still has a *huge* following willing to not only stand in the cold, not knowing if anything is actually going to go on, then wait until it's almost time to go to work, for Prince to drop some old skool funk at the crack of dawn! | |

But wasn't the wait worth it - especially when Mayte crowd surfed.....The video may have been pants but it's proof of how damn good the aftershows are. How often can you be less than 2 meters from the man as he jams along?? hopefully not for the last time... Jailhouse rock still brings a smile to my face | |

Brits pictures look amazing. looking forward to watching the show | |

the show was very good but i stood by the fire exit and as time wore on people started to leave and they all kept stepping on my feet, it was very hot hencethe reason i stood by the fire exit was to keep cool. | |
