Let me know if you head this way. I'm in NC. He will be about 45 minute away from me for one of the dates. And I will be attending several!

Oh, I have seen him several times. Went all the way from NC to NY in Deember. LOL. But I cannot believe he is actually coming here again. John B. told me on FB that he would, but I figure our guy changes him mind...all too often! Which one/s are you going to Cam? I'd love to meet you!

Enjoy!! I am still on a purple high from Oakland!

My Grandmother lives in Chester, SC. I haven't seen her in a while...

Does anyone have info on ticket prices? I'd like to know if I'll have sell an an arm and a leg or just one of them. Has anyone heard of any presales?

PRINCE ANNOUNCES WELCOME 2 AMERICA CAROLINA DATES

6 Nights in North & South Carolina

NEW YORK, NY (March 10, 2011) - Prince has declared a string of Purple days in the Carolinas, bringing his extraordinary Welcome 2 America tour to the South for the first time with the announcement of 6 nights in North and South Carolina starting March 21^st. The announcement comes on the heels of three Oakland, CA shows and six incredible shows in the New York area that wowed fans and critics with his singular stage presence, leaving them screaming for more each and every night. These shows will mark a homecoming for two members of The New Power Generation, drummer John Blackwell and vocalist/tambourine player Shelby Johnson are both from South Carolina. Tickets go on sale beginning Monday, March 14^th at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com, except for Columbia, SC which are available at twctix.com.

The New York Daily News raved, “Prince is worthy of all royal accolades…The hit-friendly show had a kinetic confidence and racing pace that spoke of his singular place in pop history,” while the New York Times said “It’s easy to envision Prince as another Chuck Berry or James Brown, barnstorming for decades to come.” The San Francisco Chronicle raved “spinning, strutting and swaying in his towering heels as if no time had passed since the days he dominated MTV with his angular suits and perfectly sculpted hair… neither his fantastic voice nor his dynamic legs showing any signs of slowing down.”

March 21^st Columbia, SC - Colonial Life Arena On Sale: 3/15 @ 10am ET

THANK'S FOR THE INFO

I'm so unbelievably excited. His timing could be better. Could be worse. I live in Charleston but thing I will go see him in Cola so I can meet my Augusta friends and we can hit our second show together. This will be my fourth show (I think). Can't wait on pricing info. Pre-sales?? Anything? Anyone? Bueller?

Muah!

-Chele

I live in Manning, SC... so I can have a quick trip to both Columbia and Charleston!! If he's selling his Welcome 2 America shirts, I'll be able to see if they'll fit my big ass!!! lol..

Nothing like waking up to news like this. I will probably go to at least 5 of the 6 shows, and wonder if the prices for tickets will be so outrageous, that few will sell out? The recession has not been kind to the south, and shows with high prices don't always do well. Charlotte will probably sell out, but not sure about the others. Either way, I am very happy since I have not had the chance to see him since Musicology Atlanta in 2004.

OMG!! I'm seriously thinking about driving from NY. I've seen the show 2 times already but I think I should push for a 3rd!!

Live Nation should be doing a presale also

doesnt look that is happening

time for a visit!

Anybody know what the ticket pricing was like in Cali? I'm in Atlanta and plan on going to the 26th date. This will mark my 128th time seeing Him in concert. Can't wait.

I am so happy for you Carolinas Prince fans! I hope he puts some amazingly Purple shows for you guys and gals.

[Edited 3/11/11 9:26am]

Woo hoo!!! PartyUp Carolinas!!!!

The Greensboro show is about 1/2 hour from where I live. The Raleigh & Charlotte shows are less than 2 hours. I would go to all 3 if my wallet would allow it.

Now if I can score some tickets!

128, and you're only going to one show? I've been stuck at 39 since 2004...and will probably go to all six. And I'm not exactly rich, either. Of course the last minute announcements keep people from going to multiple shows. Typical Prince....by not giving 3 months notice or more, the shows will sell a little less than they would with advance sales...but that's Prince.

... saw Prince in NYC's MSG on Feb. 7th, now my man is makin' his way down south. I'm in South Florida, possible 'road trip' [img:$uid]http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/4.gif[/img:$uid]
