$275? Too rich for my blood. I'll have to catch him next time.

Almost $500 for 2 people no go for me

I know, it cost me $550, $250 per ticket plus a $25 service fee per ticket.

Gosh, I remember when an actual ticket price for a concert was like $12.95

That was way back in the 70s and early 80's, now the service fee is twice as much as that.

Times have certainly changed, but Princes' music and showmanship and live performances are always inspiring to me, to say the least, and I always leave the show on a whirlwind of "that after the Prince concert high", it's almost addicting......and it's always over way too soon.

But the good news is he'll come around again and I'll be doing all of this again.

Ouch...Yeah, if i were on the west coast, I would have to fly solo. I don't mind paying 200 or 250 per, but that don't sound like a date night!

Prince is making a lot of money on this small venue tour. Eye don't blame him...Get ur money's worth. He is the best live per4mer ever..Its worth every penny....

Me too . Maybe I'll just wait for the bootleg.

Is there something about Tempe AZ that would make one want to fly out to see Prince there? I mean for 250 he could definitely stop in Dallas or at least Houston..H town has been good to Prince.

I know, right? There has to be a DFW or Houston visit in the works.

Vegas ticket prices seem to be a lot lower than the other shows...$55 to $95. I wonder why?

Tickets $250 San Diego, CA standing room only

I am going to the seattle show thursday night (prob not both).

As for why Vegas was cheaper-I assume the hotel paid Prince a princely sum to perform at their casino. So, the ticket prices would pay for the venue and the other amenities. Prince was the draw to get people to come to their casino and spend money.

Yeah! I just bought my tickets for Tempe Arizona! May 1, the late show.

I heard a rumor he would be coming to AZ and I was hoping it would be after April 20th. I teach 6th grade and this concert came AFTER my kids finish their state testing. So I can go and take the next day off from work!

I have admired Prince since 1983 but have never had the opportunity to see him. I have no idea what to expect! My class knows I love Prince, they will be so excited for me!

Oh! ....and tomorrow is my birthday! Happy Birthday to ME!

Where that man gets the energy, I'll never know. I'm younger than he is, and I don't have half of the energy that Prince seems to have. God bless him.

Hope he wears this outfit!!!!

I can't imagine myself forking over $200 to see him at the Grove w/3rd Eye Girl.

I did! I went right out and got a payday advance and bought myself 1 ticket for each of the late nite shows! Now I'm wondering how I'll eat next week, and hope that my tax money comes soon so I can pay myself back! Such craziness! I would never put myself this much in debt for any other artist! Just when I was feeling really sick about it, I found out that the Vegas tickets were half the price of the Anaheim ones! I have no more money, or I may have been tempted to buy those too and take a road trip! Madness!

Might there be a live webcast of the first show? The DNA Loung website suggests that there will be:http://www.dnalounge.com/webcast/ Let's hope so!

Now that would be

but I bet Prince will have those cameras blocked during the concerts.

Unless he works out a deal with the venue...would b a nice gesture 2 the many fans who can't attend the concerts 4 whatever reason

Did that for Welcome 2 America Tacoma and Seattle after jam. No regrets! He's the only artist I've ever done that for and will do it again. BTW: I just posted a perfectly good kidney for sale on EBay.

You're still living with your mom?

If not: think again.

If you need an advance to buy a concert ticket it means you have no cash at all and are living from paycheck to paycheck. (so that's not a myth; also we don't use checks but that is another matter)

Just one advice for ya: S A V E some cash.

100 euros in 20ten for an aftershow was OK. Berlin tickets were more expensive.

But ~ 200 euros converted from dollah is a bit too much.
