Since when is London the "arse end of nowhere"?! lol


I was refering to The Dome, London aint a square mile of museums, architecture, wine bars and restaurants. The Dome is in a shit hole area, in my opinion. It's out a bit, that's all I'm saying, not 'Glam' like Vegas.


hmmm Well it could be worse. At least he's in the UK! woot! I'm Scottish, and never seen him - I can deal with a "trek" over London wink

No complaints here! excited
Rock n roll baby

A purple rain will decend over London throughout August. Performing his greatest hits 4 the last time, Prince will appear at The O2 on August 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 14th.


this is starting to become hilarious

lol


Maybe I'm just being pedantic, but the 5th word of that web page is incorrectly spelt. I mean, this is a pretty big announcement and they can't proofread 150 words?

ok so now we can start speculating if this means a brand new cd,
like it says on the website and the flyer.

or is it still the 3121 album, which they simply call "the new"
and "brand new" cd?

omg omg omg, a new album would be so excited
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I can't tell you how happy this makes me, haven't got a ticket yet but am hoping to get some. I knew he wouldn't let me down - I knew that he would give us a tour I could just feel it - he must read this sometimes - I hope some people will stop complaining now !!!!

Well, it's being called 'the Earth tour' so my guess is it's a new album.(?)

If thats the price, then it would sound like he is playing the O2 Arena itself, not the smaller Indigo club!

Wierd, he has no chance of selling out the O2 Area for 21 nights, unless they SERIOUSLY reduce the capacity.

I hadn't even considered that the CD might be 3121. It'll be 17 months old when the shows start. Nah, it'll be Planet Earth or some such.

check out 3121.com. he's only there for 7 shows, spread out over 21 days.
still, 7 x 23,000 is aprox 150,000. that's still a lot of seats but they
are pretty "cheap" at 31.21 considering what some other acts go for and
he's still got 3 months to sell and promote....

Even so, seven confirmed nights, if he plays to full capacity means he'll be trying to sell some 150,000 tickets. Thats more than he sold for the SOTT and Lovesexy tours.

PRINCE TO PLAY LONDON - FOR £31 A TICKET
By Anita Singh, PA Showbusiness Editor
Pop megastar Prince is to make his only European appearance this year with 21 shows in London.
The singer will begin his purple reign with seven nights at the O2 Arena - formerly the Millennium Dome.
Tickets will cost just £31.21, a reference to his 3121 album.
And everyone who gets their hands on a ticket will get a free copy of his new album - a move the star dubbed his own version of “direct marketing”.
The rest of the 21 Nights In London tour will include some secret club gigs.
Speaking at a launch event in London, Prince declared himself a fan of Amy Winehouse and said he hoped she would join him on stage.
He has prepared 150 songs and will play a selection at each show - likely to include his hits Purple Rain, When Doves Cry and Kiss.
The tour, which begins on August 1, will be Prince’s only appearance in Europe this year.
Explaining why he chose the UK, Prince said: “I love London. I’ve had some of my favourite shows here.”
The star is now house-hunting in the capital.
“As soon as I leave here I’m going to look for a place to live,” he said.
Of the rock-bottom ticket prices, he said: “Last time I was here a lot of people didn’t get to see me so we are trying to make it affordable for everybody. That’s why we are doing an extended stay.”

I hope you are right, but I can't see it.

Ref 02, according to the terms and conditions, you must be a O2 customer. Whether they are able to enforce this is another matter.

You do for the pre-sale (Thursday only). Then it hits ticketmaster etc. on Friday. Foo those sharing codes - it only works once, be warned!

All the details are here:

Why would they advertise it as "21 nights" if he wasn't going to play 21 dates? It makes no sense. The 21 must include aftershows - maybe 1 at the Indigo Bar after each main show. That brings us up to 14 dates... And heaven for anyone in London smile

Lucky I never spent all my money going to Vegas!

Yep, the codes seem unique. I have reponses from two O2 accounts and they are both different. People should think twice about sharing their code. They may not be able to get tickets themselves.
