WOW. So Mayte is charging $25 per person on Stage-It for a worldwide question-and-answer session on Prince??!!?? I guess the belly dancing classes and Stage-Its aren't bringing in enough moolah. This really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Is no one else bothered by her shameless, and seemingly endless, cashing-in using Prince's (and Amiir's) name??

Now this is exciting!! Thanks Latin

So she's not allowed to talk about HER son after she had to be silent for years?

Is it $25? It said it was "pay what you can" the other day.

The tickets are 250 notes. 10 notes = $1. So, unless I'm calculating incorrectly, 250 notes = $25.

I think so.I was going to try to watch but $25 is a bit high for me.

It's not the talking that concerns me. It's the cashing-in. It's interesting how the outrage about various associates monetizing Prince's passing is so selective.

She does a Q&A right before her belly dance class for people coming to the class. She gets bombarded with requests for people to come to the Q&A only do she’s added it on as a separate separate event right before her class for people that only want to attend it. Then, she was bombarded with requests to record her Q&A, which, obviously wouldn’t be fair to people paying to attend. That’s how the StageIt came about.

From what I understand, there are only 100 tickets available. This is a great option for those that cannot attend Celebration or other classes. I wish PRN Alumni would do a Stageit for all the Q&A they do throughout the year and they can raise funds for their foundation.

As soon as those 100 tickets sell, they will add more. Trust. That's how Stageit creates a sense of urgency in potential buyers. I mean, think about it. Since this is a virtual event, there is no physical capacity limit. So, why would they turn away one single potential buyer?

Her StageIt is being done through the Alumni Foundation?

no it her own Stageit. Throughout the last year PRN Alumni held several events in Minnesota and I was always wishing they would livestream because I could never attend. Just like the Prince Symposium at U of M is going to have a few panels I wish they could livestream because I can’t be there

Ok.Thanks! I would have attended if she had kept it at a minimum of $5.I know she has a lot of followers though and will most likely sell out.

Prince needs to come back and haunt the hell out of this woman. Squeezing every ounce she can get out of his name and a marriage, that ended almost two decades ago, since he passed but was too chicken to do it while he was alive. Very easy to take advantage of a dead person. Her minions will fall for it though and give her another pass.

She would never be doing this, if Prince was still here. He shut her down, many times before.

What about Kim Berry, Susannah, Jill, Owen, Dez, Brownmark, ... well you get the drift. ??

All this negative nancys in here You don't wanna hear from her anyway, so why are you complaining about the $25? Like, you don't gotta pay, I doubt you even watch her interviews on YouTube for free, so why be outraged when people have to pay $25? It's their money

I am kind of disappointed that she changed the price of the tickets because I was looking forward to watching it but that's too much for me right now.It would be nice if she would do a Q&A on Facebook like some of the other associates do from time to time.

Hi...nobody is pressuring you to purchase a ticket. DO you think to hold these things are free? Everything costs money to produce....Stageit takes a rather LARGE percentage of this 25.00....the room and equipment to bring you this event costs money, so we are pretty much breaking even on this, the 25.00 from Stageit is not making anybody rich.

Its going to be a great event.
