Prince Announces Second Shows In Melbourne And Sydney

Prince has announced extra shows for Melbourne and Sydney, following tickets going on sale this morning.

The shows will take place:

Friday 11 May - Allphones Arena, Sydney
Saturday 12 May - Allphones Arena, Sydney
Monday 14 May - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
Tuesday 15 May - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
Friday 18 May - Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
Wednesday 30 May - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne

UPDATE: A third Melbourne show, for Wednesday 30 May, has just been announced. Tickets on sale now.

Tickets are available through Ticketek and a quick way to load the website is through the mobile site.

The Ticketek website experienced delays today with the demand for tickets, but it appears the majority of punters have been able to secure tickets.

That hasn't stopped scalpers moving in as tickets to the tour begun appearing on online auction websites just minutes after they were on sale. They are currently listed for up to double the price for certain sections of seating.

Last week tour co-promoter Garry Van Egmond told theMusic.com.au that they couldn't stop scalping while there was no federal legislation against it.
