I will be there Late Tuesday October 11 till Saturday Oct 15. I am planning a pilgramage seeing all things Prince. I tour Paisley Park on The 14th, and Of course the tribute concert on the 13th. But I'm lookign to meet up with any and all Purple Fams. I will be staying less than 1 mile from Paisley Park. So keep me in the loop

I might be a bit bias but I'm going to recommend either UTCM/SOTT or PR/GB double feature fundraisers smile (info in the fan gathering thread). And still think it would be cool if all fams aim to go to the same dance party, Friday night seems like the best option for most nod thumbs up!

Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.

Just wanted to let u know that the Paisley Park Tours website has been updated and it now states that it's best to pre-order The Taste Experience ahead of time via their online store because it will be available in a limited way on a daily basis during the tours.

Hope this helps and enjoy!


I only see this for the opening day. Are you saying that you can reserve it for other days as well? I signed into my account on the store and there is nothing like that it only shows the opening day purchase of the food. Is there another website or am I misunderstanding this. What I was taking this posting to say is that I have my tire on the 13th and I can sign up for the food now for the 13th. Am I misunderstanding? Thank you very much.

Due to late ticket sales and change of venue, I opted NOT to go.

Check out the "note" at the bottom of The Taste Experience page on the Paisley Park Tours site. It mentions that a limited amount will be available "each day".

Okay I see this now and I know you login but does it know what day your tour is? It doesn't ask you that and it doesn't ask you for your reservation number? If you had tried to purchase the first day stuff it wouldn't let you and less you had a first day pass. So do you purchase right now for no matter what day your tour is? Thank you

I am aiming for FRIDAY TIX (I think we all should) for the $31.21 too...MAYBE the $77.77 if my credit card allows it omg shhh lol

Although...I probably should buy my actual transportation TO/FROM MPLS - that would probably help too disbelief THIS is all the things I still need to do - since being so pre-occupied with the PR/GB fundraiser!

I just booked my hotel yesterday. Used hotwire and got a 3 start West Mall of America area for an average of $63.79 a night. That was with tax included. It was listed at $54 a night. No breakfast but free wifi. Reviews are mixed. Some love it some hate it and say it's outdated and need remodeling. However I'm going to be so busy with other things I just need a place to sleep and for $54 a night not going to beat that. At least not for a "3 star" hotel. I'm driving so i'll have my car. Oh and yeah I hear you about the credit card thing. Concert tickets $140 PP tour probably $50 i toured it in 2001 so no need for VIP now $40 for dance party. Plus 4 night hotel and gas to get up there. Yeah it's starting to add up a bit.

I'm trying to purchase tickets for Friday 10/14, but I'm having problems. I will click "Buy" and it doesn't let me go any further. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not available yet? Thought I'd ask if anyone else has tried yet. Thanks!!

Is it a time zone thing? Do I have this right: 10 Central is 11 Eastern?? Think so.

Thanks. That was my guess too. I hate to wait too long and miss out. I figure these will go about as fast as the concert tickets did. I'll try again a little later. I live in West Virginia and it's 10:00am here. Appreciate the response. Good Luck!

Be cautious buying those Fri nite dance party tix. I just bought two gen admission tix and was charged $560. Clearly they are not in control of their software.

I just called the Muse Events Center and was told they are having problems with the link to purchase the tickets to the Prince Family Event. Try back later this afternoon. So... I'll keep trying!

That just happened to me!! Thank you for saying that because I thought it was making me doubt myself but I KNEW I clicked $77.77 one, and then on the ticket confirmation page it said $280?! I tweeted/messaged on facebook AND emailed twice and finally got assistance. I was worried by the time I got back in there, the tickets woudl be gone. They weren't - but WOW that was an intense hour disbelief whew

Seems okay now. I did it around 40 mins ago and it was the right charge for the right time.

O.K. Here's what I got. I purchased two general admission tickets and the e-mail confirmation only charged $39.21 for both, instead of $79. So, what should I do next?

Whelp, it has been a crazy trip with these tix. purchased 2 gen admission tix but was charged for 2 VIP tix. Then emailed the tix company asking for a switch. they emailed back said they cancelled the order...BUT DID NOT REPLACE MY TIX WITH GEN ADMISSION. I found a number for a guy who turns out only sells the VIP tables at 1k or 2K. He wasn't in my price range! So now I have no tix since friday is sold out. I sent a tweet DM request to prnfamily as my last hope. If anyone ends up w a spare, I might take it. sad

Well, don't even think of contacting them... they are really an overwhelmed mess I suspect, in regards to both administrative and IT. I can't get them to respond. I think this is out of their league.

They will reply! I think they just have to go one by one to resolve. For the two for $39 I would only be concerned that their system does in fact have you for two and not one... Because it sounds like the amount of one $31.21 plus the $8.oo fee.

Yes, you are right, they DID reply. First I had VIP tix to meet Andre which I couldn't afford, then I had none, and I now have two GA tix for Friday! And when I printed my reciept it also indicated a price of one ticket, but showed the quantity as 2.

Oh nice! Does the second printed ticket have a different # or scanning thing? As if it's the same, it could be just one ticket and when trying to be scanned in, could cause problems. Hope it's all sorted smile

It says the ticket can be only scanned twice. So you could print 100 of them if you wanted but it will only scan two times. I logged in right at 10am and noticed the price not being right. Refreshed Refreshed Refreshed non stop for about 25-30 minutes. Finally everything was showing up right and got 2 for Friday night. $78.42 and tickets were in my email within minutes. So no Problems for me other than waiting on right price to show.

I went in just now and bought 2 GA tickets. Maybe the website crashed earlier? I swore to God I wasn't going to buy anything else, but yeah... Sigh.. I'm in. FYI: who needs that 2nd ticket? Let me know, I only need one!

On that same notion, does any MPLS fam know about shuttles to and from Mall of America? I am googling it and checking the mall website but it's very generic stating a list of shuttles that seem to go from the airports to and from. Hoping there is a connection to and from downtown to shave off the time from an hour+ to 20mins+ like the time states. smile


Not leaving Minneapolis without going to have a meal at that Hard Rock Cafe dammit foodnow




Their is a light rain system that connects the mall, airport, and downtown. Im planing on staying near the mall myself

Oh perfect! We definitely need to arrange a Fam Hard Rock meet up. I am tentatively aiming for Friday night - UNLESS something Prince related is announced for that night - then I will aim for Saturday. Has to happen hmph! cool biggrin
