Trivia

Three North Sea Jazz Festival appearances were announced on 9 May, 2011. All three shows were 'plus' shows, an addition to the already planned festival. Patrons of either of the three days of the festival could buy € 40 plus tickets for the Prince shows. 3,000 (€ 89) tickets for just the Prince shows, not gaining access to the other festival acts were also made available. Tickets were announced to go on sale on Friday 13 May at 10.00. Due to a server crash at the ticket distributors office, it wasn't until after 14:00 that some could obtain tickets, but with persisting problems, all ticket-sales were halted until Tuesday 17 May at 10 AM. All available tickets sold out within a day when they finally went on sale. Shows were billed for he 'Maas Hal, but this is just the regular main hall of the Ahoy, dubbed 'Maas Hal' only for the NSJ festival to distinguish its location from the other festival stages. A setlist on paper omitted Sexy Dancer - Le Freak / (Theme Song From) Which Way Is Up? and Play That Funky Music. Furthermore it printed Mountains instead of A Love Bizarre and following Only Heaven Knows it read Shhh / She's Always In My Hair / Future Soul Song and Make You Feel My Love before Purple Rain as the last song.
