[chiapet]

It was strawberry and I woke up really tense and worried that something would go wrong today.

3 MORE HOURS.

[sbessiso]

3 MORE HOURS.

I WAS JUST GUNNA SAY THIS

Im so jittery

[Robin]

I actually blocked off a 'meeting' on my work calendar at 12PM Friday so no one interrupts me when I'm buying tickets!

I stole your idea!

[seyrnon]

any idea who's gonna be opening for this?

[Boourns]

Please come to LA Princegod

Seriously. Praying for March 8 or 10.

[AlecEiffel]

any idea who's gonna be opening for this?

I've heard rumor it's Graham Central Station.

Does anyone know whether or not he's going to be playing in the round?

Edit - never mind, it looks like he IS playing in the round.

[zimmy1222]

No hard tix?

I was gonna get a couple for a friend's bday... I'm not going though... : /

[seyrnon]

I've heard rumor it's Graham Central Station.

that'd be pleasingly funky

[Rosemont17]

xpect more shows to be announced!

[ErikFlyingV]

When? I really wanna go but I'm lucking the funds for multiple, rather try for a smaller one than nosebleeds. I'll probably still shoot for monday and plan anything esle when the time comes...

unless that time is now?...

[chiapet]

Aww yea

[Robin]

3 MORE HOURS.

Already logged into TM, and getting ready to F5 the crap out of my keyboard.

[Rosemont17]

prince in the bay area is huge and this is not gonna be a 2 show deal. they will start with 2 and the on-sale is 3 DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW! so the promoters are gonna see how it sells, which will be quickly, then add more shows.

Prince is supposed to throw a NBA all-star party in LA then move on up to the bay! fuck yeah!!

[Rosemont17]

3 min!! holy shit im nervous! 2 tix for mon!!!!!!!!! lets do this!!!

[ErikFlyingV]

Here, here. Tis be thee two min mark. yargh.

[Rosemont17]

GO!!!!!!

[chiapet]

Crap, I hope I wasn't too greedy. I pulled up a pair front row of the upper level but it was what I believe is more to the back of the side he normally performs on (in the round). Just got queued into a long wait time.

[Rosemont17]

score! 2 tickets. upper level sec 227. im cool with it cuz i got the hookup for wed so im in the fucking house! wait time was 2 min. now went in for fun to see where its at and its 12 min! uhoh!!

[chiapet]

Yea I forgot I needed 3 so I had to start over. Ugh. "15 min or more" and it keeps getting larger.

[dorkfish]

ha, my credit card shat out on me. i had good seats, too. at least I have an excuse to hurt someone's feelings at Wells Fargo and to receive some type of compensation.

[Rosemont17]

chiapet, dont panic. open up a new screen cuz they will add another show. hope you get in!

[Vasoline Groove]

Alright got section 220 row 5 seats 5 and 6 for Monday night show.

Thats by the round part of the guitar. Is that the better side? I hope so for $90 tickets.

Lets go Crazy!

[dorkfish]

better be more shows, cause I have zero chance of pulling two decent tickets, now.

[sbessiso]

eeeeeeek. so tense.

[seyrnon]

this is bullshit

[AlecEiffel]

oh no I think I might have blown it!

[Robin]

"Your wait time is appoximately 15 minutes or more"

It's been saying that for quite some time. Sigh.

[ErikFlyingV]

^^^^^SAME

I had some great seats, it said Try another card. So I add a newer one, and it put my tickets in a Que, then said someone else bought them. FUCK YOU TICKETMASTER!!!

Oh, and I had a window open for Wed and Mon, and it changed BOTH dates to MON!!! Fuck them. Fuck Prince. I'm going to stand outside the venue booing.

[chiapet]

Yea I've been at "15 minutes or more" for like 6-7 minutes.

[Robin]

I got greedy. I didn't like the seats it gave me, so I started over.
Now I'm kicking myself in the arse for doing that.
