That's a very, affordable price!

::Antoine Dobson....bring yo' kids!::

Surely $20.10 is not the price for all the seats in the arena. I wonder how much more the floor seats are if infact they are different prices.

I just checked Tickmaster. The tixx aren't on sale yet but they always have price ranges in the upper right hand corner of the sale page. The MSG dates aren't up yet, but the Izod Center dates have a price range of 56.25 to 173.00 I don't know where them 20.10 tickets are, unless they are for MSG dates only.

Hello Everyone,

More confirmation just appeared! See the article at http://www.nj.com/enterta...ows_a.html.

I saw that too, but then the price range disappeared, and then all the info was taken down. Is Prince still negotiating prices?

If you are going to venture to one or many of the venues at "Welcome2America"... then why not

Stop in at

Soy & Sake

Vegetarian/Vegan Cafe Bistro...

Since, you are treating yourself to FANTASTIC music, why not

treat your body to "healthy good 4 U" food.

From that link - So at least there will be some less expensive tickets. I gather the more expensive tickets will be floor and lower levels. I'm surprised there's no shows for Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY. But ya never know, could be one added later on.

Tickets go on sale on Saturday. Visit livenation.com, or call (800) 745.3000. Prince is promising that there'll be $20 seats at these shows, but he doesn't say where they'll be;

I saw the Izod ticket prices on Ticketmaster earlier, but now there are no Prince shows coming up on the ticketmaster search. What's going on?

Like the way u think ficktyt! I was wondering about this myself... Just noticed a VIP Tickets membership on LIVENATION.COM and cant help but wonder if those "members" get pre-sale opportunities for tix and the "good seats"

I can only imagine trying 2 buy tix online at 10am

Yes, VIP 1 year membership for $595.00. No guarantee on where seats are located only an opprotunity for "presale". That's a lot of coin for a maybe premium seat. Still think orgers will see something special from P. He usually sends us something, I would keep posted as I am sure most have! Most of us who ate the Lotusflow3r will hopefully see some redemption. Miss those NPG daze..spoiled we were and we loved it!!!!!!

What pre-sale? Wish it was on ticket master. usually they have Gold Card events.

I found a article that shows the dates & the concerts full meaning:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRINCE “WELCOME 2 AMERICA” EXCLUSIVE NORTH AMERICAN PERFORMANCES IN NEW YORK AREA

New York, New York (October 25th, 2010) – Prince, one of the most prolific and groundbreaking artists of our time whose recorded music, live performances and powerful artistry have affected music and pop culture like no other, will bring his extraordinary live production, WELCOME 2 AMERICA, to the New York area in December.

After 21‐nights of sold out shows in London, Prince makes his first return to the East Coast since 2004. A different experience every night, Prince will be joined by various performers including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Sinbad, Lalah Hathaway, Sheila E. and Graham Central Station.

As part of the live events, Prince will play a solid gold Fender ® Custom Stratocaster® guitar master‐built by Senior Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov. At the end of the run, the guitar will be auctioned off to benefit the Harlem Children’s Zone. The Harlem Children Zone (www.hcz.org) is a community based organization serving over 17,000 children living in Harlem NYC. Harlem Children Zone’s CEO, Geoffrey Canada was also on hand at the press conference.

After 100 million albums sold, seven GRAMMY® Awards, a Golden Globe, an Oscar®, and a Webby Award for visionary use of the Internet, the influence of Prince is endless. His chameleon‐like image, signature style and constantly evolving sound all echo in the work of two generations of artists across multiple genres. As a songwriter and producer, he has collaborated with legendary artists including Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Madonna, and Sinead O’Connor. For five decades, Prince has given the world countless musical, entrepreneurial, and spiritual gifts. Love is at the foundation of all he gives: love of God and humanity in the world.

Tour Dates:

Dec. 14 Dec. 15 Dec. 17 Dec. 18 Dec. 29

East Rutherford, NJ East Rutherford, NJ East Rutherford, NJ New York, NY

New York, NY

IZOD Center IZOD Center IZOD Center Madison Square Garden Madison Square Garden

Tickets on sale Saturday, October 30 at 10am. Tickets available at LiveNation.com. Tickets also available through Charge By Phone 800.745.3000, select Ticketmaster locations and respective box offices. Tickets starting at $20.10 plus applicable service charges.

I have been checking Ticketmaster & LiveNation, and both had listed Prince under "My Favorites" who had shows locally. When I checked an hour later, Prince had been removed from the "My Favorites" list.

Both sites keep changing the information.

Am I the only one thinking $179.00 is a lil steep for this time of year? Especially without a guarantee of which artist are performing on specific nights? Hopefully by this weekend there'll be a little more information posted as far as who's scheduled for each night (I'd really like to see Janelle again). Oh how I miss the good old days of NPGMC - you gotta admit that Prince really did come through with prime seating for club members.

I really think there will be more dates added or there will be other cities added because there is simply not room on five nights for all of supporting acts he named. Even if one opened the concert and one did an after show, it doesn't make sense.

I think the VIP tickets on Livenation.com are for Citi card holders. I have a Citi card so I checked their site for a pre-sale... nothing. I'll keep checking though. I'm not a snob but those pre-sales were just the best!

I totally agree DaisyHall, 179.00 or 173.00 is a LITTLE steep - especially before Christmas. I'll probably pay it though if it means a great seat. I must be getting old in that I used, "probably".

Pshhhh, my birthday is Christmas Eve and I'll be turning 21, this is going to be the best birthday week EVER! The people who love me better shell out or there's going to be some controversy around here

Thats has got 2 b 1 very heavy Fender if it is truly solid gold and just in weight is worth some serious change
