Prince — Parc des Princes Concert Ticket: Jun.1990

A rare French ticket from the Nude Tour’s stadium‑sized Paris stop

This original concert ticket is from Prince’s performance at Parc des Princes, Paris, held on Saturday 16 June 1990 as part of the Nude Tour. The show was one of the largest European dates of the tour, staged in a major football stadium and supported by extensive French radio promotion, including NRJ.

The ticket grants Pelouse (lawn) access via the Auteuil entrance, with doors opening at 17:00 for an 20:00 start. Priced at 175 Francs, it represents a classic example of early‑1990s French concert ticket design, complete with sponsor branding and the bold typographic style typical of the era.

The Nude Tour was notable for its stripped‑back production, tighter band lineup, and a setlist focused on hits, signalling a shift from the elaborate staging of the Lovesexy era.
