What a fucking scam! £31.31 to see prince, "so everyone can come and see me", yeah right.

I was on the phone to ticket master the official seller at 9:00 on the dot, engaged, engaged, engaged, online also, no tickets immediately. What a total load of bullshit, then surprise surprise, every ticket seller is flogging them at £110-£190.

Well that rules out any chance of me going to see him, Maybe he'll make the trip up to Manchester, during his 21 days.

Two new dates added. Need to be quick.

3 new dates.

and whats the story with Fridays gig no tickets avavilable at all....is it sold out.....WTF

New dates tickets are available, I've just got some.

this isn't anything to do with prince. the shit with touts happens with EVERY big uk gig no matter who it is.

Loads still for sale. Quick, quick.

That was hard work. You have to jump on the new dates as soon as they go up and jump go for best seats available.

I got them for the 28th.

what about the fuckin friday!!!!!

THIS IS WHY I HATE TICKETMASTER WITH A PASSION

what? all 7 original shows are already sold out?

I think they may be sold out if they say they are unavailable but keep trying for the new dates as they add on. Don't give up until they say sold out.

I haven't paid more than £31.21 for any of my tickets.

New dates are being added every minute on ticketmaster. I just managed to get lower tier seats for Aug 28th at Prince's price of £31.21.

It can be done. Keep trying.

I suspect if they keep selling out at the current rate these concerts will go on well into September.

Same here. And I won't either.

got mine for 28th - but I'm sure that the scummy tickets dealers are bulk buying them . Anyway got mine in row V!! lol and my girlfriend just called me and got some in upper tier over stage for 1st - but had to pay £75 each!!

OperatingThetan said:

Too right, otherwise at this rate I'll be bankrupt by September

SEPTEMBER 1st JUST UP!

sept 1st gone now

august 31st available though, just needs a little patience

I take it back, I've got 6 tickets for the final show woo hoo!

Nice one Bewdy, I think we all got a bit anxious there for a while.

9/9 coming soon...

OperatingThetan said:

Keep trying. I was online from 9am on the dot, by 10:10 I was getting disillusioned, and I figured they must be all sold out. Now, 20 minutes later, I'm done and dusted with tickets for 3 concerts.

Bewdy said:

Oops, didn't see that when I posted. Well done, enjoy!

It all comes down to luck.Keep trying though.

Ticketmaster is obviously flooded when gigs like this are released.

Thankfully I bought my tickets (2 tickets for the last night at the 02) yesterday with the 02 pre-sales but there's been plenty of times I've paid over face value when it comes to seeing my favourite artists.

Luckily for me it was £31.21, as it was supposed to.

I got tickets for august 14th through seetickets for 31.21 pounds each. Took me 20 minutes because the site was very busy, but it worked fine. Also got my confirmation email already.

Can´t believe I´m going to see him after five long years

Bewdy said:

Yeah.

...if I don't count the flight to London and the hotel where I could stay...

Oh, I almost forgot:

Prince is a genius!

People were paying 5 times that price to see him in Vegas not too long ago

Got two tickets for the 18th from Ticketmaster, only took me half an hour, plenty of dates were Sold Out by then though.

Cheek said:

lol same here. i just can't afford it. the ticket prince is great
but the flight and the stay in london will cost me more than i'm
able to spare at this time.

imagine going to see like 2 shows, you'd have to be in london for
about 3 days at least plus food and a hotel and some shopping and
going out with other orgers for drinks



plus i've only got the first week of august off from work


anywayz, i'm sure the bootlegs will be great and it's cool
to read all the reports so soon from people that did go.
