  • Tickets for this show were initially announced to go on sale on Monday 1 May 2011 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, but this was later changed to 12:00 p.m. PDT
  • There was yet another new venue layout starting this show. The area behind the round part of the stage was now dubbed 'purple pit', a general admission dance area, with tickets costing $50 (+ $14.30 = $ 64.30). The $325 (+$34.45 = $359.45) Welcome 2 America Official VIP Package was also omitted. Patrons could now sit at the VIP Tables for $179 (+$30.70 = $209.70).
  • This show included the first live performance of U Will B (lyrics only, sung over the instrumental backing of The Question Of U).
  • This show was the only time Whitney Houston appeared on stage with Prince; he invited her on stage to dance during Musicology, and handed her a microphone; she led the crowd in some chants of "Prince is the man!" during the track.
