The rumours have been flying for some time and now it’s confirmed: Prince is heading Down Under for only the third time in his career.
We’re promised this tour will be worth the wait. There’s no latest release album to plug, so instead we’ll hear hit after hit. Some three hours of them by all accounts, which is about the time we’ll need to hear most of our favourites! Prince also plays a different show each night, so I expect plenty of big fans to take in all three gigs. Tickets are quite reasonable with the most expensive topping $199, so it’s not such a big ask to take in the trio.
It’s all very sudden, with tickets going on sale next Monday and Prince touching down less than a month later. There isn’t enough time for a presale, so I’m crossing my fingers that Ticketek’s website doesn’t melt down under the demand of thousands of fans! At least not before I score my ticket anyway! Here are those all important dates!
11 May 2012 – Allphones Arena, Sydney
14 May 2012 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
18 May 2012 – Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
