This took some doing, I was 12 years old at the time tickets went on sale and my mom did not think that I was old enough to go to a concert by myself, not to mention, my parents would not want to drive me so I also had to convince my older brother to take me. My mom was a tough sell. Our family was doing okay at the time, but not too many years earlier we had been fairly poor...so spending money on this type of was not typical. My mom was also bitter about her own parents not letting her go see The Beatles in concert when she was a teenager. My brother was easier to convince, even though we didn't get along that well as the time, because he had been into Prince during the 1999 and Purple Rain albums although he had since stopped listening by this time.
All this convincing took a while and I got tickets weeks after they went on sale and so we were pretty much as far away as we could be (there was maybe a row or two behind us, but basically back of the arena).
Originally this concert was supposed to be about 10 months AND part of the Sign o' the Times tour...but it was postponed and became part of the Lovesexy tour. For many reasons, this show was disappointing. You can read a little more about my experience with this show here.
