Official Australian Fan Tour Thread - Come!

Hey there!

4 those who don't know, Im dnaplaya from Sydney

Heard about the tour on the 7:30am TV news (Sunrise, channel 7), and at the time I was putting on my shoes to go to work, and when they had that as a news story, I nearly burnt my foot on the heater, cuz i wasn't concentrating on putting my foot into my shoe.

My question is about being a NPGMC member and ticket sales.
If Im a member, and on the day of ticket sales i try to ring, and i can't get through, the phone is jammed, and then it's announced "Concert is sold out", then what? Is it possible to set aside some tickets before the tickets go on sale to the general public, just to make sure a member doesn't miss out?

Also too, all the Aussies, Post on this tread u're location (state) and we can see if we can all meet up at the gigs.

Take Care
Playa!

The members tickets are sold before the general public sale so i guess it is pretty hard tomiss out.

I'm in Melbourne and will go to Sydney too. Seriously considering the Brissy trip as well. biggrin

Also, 4got to mention, When it was announced on TV (Sunrise), The hosts (David Koch & Melissa?) were saying how they liked Prince's music, thought he had some great songs, which I thought was surprising.


Also too, speaking of TV, Can u imagine Australian TV in October? Rage Specials of Prince? Prince specials on Music Max? PR, UTCM, GB on commercial TV? They are going to saturate our screens with it, See how they treated the recent tours of The Rolling Stones and Bruce Sprinsteen? Prince will be everywhere!

I'm hanging out, last tour here in Melbourne was awesome, so i'm looking forward to the gigs. Only thing is he has got Sydney down for 3 days later, so he might only do 2 shows and not 4 or 5 like last time and i think he will sell out that many.

YEAH!!!I'm so elated for the Australian NPGMC members. I think Prince finally had to give in to your complaints about him not coming there on his last tour of Japan.HaHa. I hope you all get to experience some of the songs from the, Rainbow Children of which, I will not attempt to describe because it has to be heard with your own ears. Have A Great Time!!!

I don't think NPGMC cares about who's name is on the card. I've heard of other orgers using someone elses card to join.
