Not so sure about the aftershow
by Ana Maria Ciobanu
Prince fans are disappointed that their favorite artist sometimes never shows up at the Indigo venue following his concerts at London's O2 arena. Prince's website announces that when there are arena concerts on consecutive days, the band usually chooses to rest instead of appearing at Indigo. A spokeswoman for the Purple One tried to explain everyone it was never guaranteed that Prince's band would play every night at Indigo. She said the website clearly stated Prince's band would play most nights, and on any given night they could show up. Many fans booked tickets especially because these after shows were heavily advertised. Ticketmaster promoted the after shows as "the white hot place to hang for those still in need of some serious grooves". Tickets were priced at £75 and £25, whereas the main arena show was £31.21 per seat. If you'd be a dedicated Prince fan you'd immediately figure out why the price was set at £31.21. If you're not a big Prince fan you need an explanation: it is a reference to Prince's recent album 3121. Ticketmaster made sure they can't be accused of misinforming and they stated: "Please be aware that Prince and the band are not guaranteed to perform, but as we all know with these cats - expect the unexpected." However fans think this wasn't clear enough and that warning messages were not prominently displayed when they booked tickets. Some of them contacted Ticketmaster to get refunds but we all know this isn't going to happen.
