Yeah, the chances are that most of the tickets WILL go to non-fans
(just do the math). C'est la vie!

Hey, I totally understand the rushing off to work thing, I was doing the same when I posted this morning lol

thanks banana..actually, the information I posted had not yet been posted. I put up a thread with the "official rules for the cd purple ticket contest". and immediately received a PM saying it was locked and to discuss it on the "purple ticket" thread that already existed. I responded asking them to make the new thread a sticky since it contained the new information just released, and wouldn't get buried 10 pages back on the existing sticky, LOL. I even posted a nice pic like above, without the line breaks in it wink

At any rate, here are the official rules for the cd competition (separate and distinct from the i-tunes competition): see post below.


Cheers, but not much point making the thread longer for the sake of it, as the relevant rules are already posted above via a LINK in the main post of this thread - all peeps gotta do is click it.

i was surprised!! i hadn't heard about a purple ticket for canada
but there it was when i picked up my copy!
a chance to win just like all you other geeks out there! woot!

pout but i didn't win

i will, however be emailing everyone i know getting them to do the no purchase necessary thing cool


on another note - i don't think you can call anyone who buys a copy of 3121 a "non fan"
they are a fan simply by reason that they bought the album.
how long they have been a fan is irrelevant hmm
when is the magic amount of time that has elapsed before they are a "real fan"??

that being said... i want it!! fit

Ahh I admit...I did purchase my 3121 this afternoon from a local Best Buy in Mpls. The Tamar flyer fell out and I did think I had the "pass" Serious adreneline rush...and disappointment..

My friend just called me screaming. She said that she opened her CD and there was ticket inside stating that she was a winner! She ordered the CD through NPGMUSICCLUB and got it today. I thought she was kidding but she was screaming so much that I thought she was going to lose her mind. She said that there was a number for her to call that she was going to do it tomorrow, and instructions on how to claim the prize. I haven't seen it for myself, but my friend isn't prone to lying or exaggeration. And the best part is that she's a HUGE Prince fam, and if anyone should see him up close and personal, she is definitely one. She has every CD like me, and she's the only person who I can call and sing "The Arms of Orion" with at any time.

Now, the kicker is that we discussed winning the ticket over lunch about two weeks ago and our deal was that if I won, I'd take her. If she won, she'd take me. Well, since she's married, her husband (who is not into Prince at all) said that if she won, he'd go along just because it meant a trip to Los Angeles. What the &#&#&?!?!? Anyway, we had already schemed and tried to think of some deceptive stuff that you only see on the Lifetime Channel for Women on how to leave her husband at home and for me to go instead. I'm not about breaking up a marriage, but if her ticket is legitimate, her non-Prince listening husband ain't going to be taking my spot up there in Prince's house not knowing any of the songs! I don't mean to be proud or haughty or anything, but I deserve to go! I've been following the music of His Royal Badness since the first time I heard "Soft and Wet" play on the car radio in Atlanta, GA, and my mother turned off the radio quickly saying, "Soft and wet? My Lord! I'm turning off that devil music right now!" We're talking the '70's people. I'm only 5 years younger than Prince.

So, if this ticket is legit, then I'm going to lose my mind, too! She's supposed to call me later tonight after she gets back from her class. I'll keep you updated. I guess I can make my case against her husband going, since I was the one who bought her the NPGMUSICCLUB membership as a Christmas present, and without that she wouldn't have won.

What If the Purple Ticket gets opened by a nonfan?

So, I was sitting at Starbucks yesterday. I was happy they would be selling 3121. However that got me thinking

Starbucks, and other places as well, buy with store debit a copy of the albums they sell to Play in the store.

What happens if some noncaring Starbucks employie opens the purple ticket CD?

Would they know what they had?

Would they fight among themself for it?

Would they send it to coperate?

Would they just discard it? Put it in the trash? Spill Coffee on it?


They would drop it under the trash bin and roll over it....

So I was looking at the receipt from Target and noticing that it says you can only exchange for the same item if open. Well what if you just bought the CD once, and then you kept on returning it, possibly to different stores, and getting a new copy each time to open for another free chance at the ticket. Sounds like it would at least work for a 2nd chance at least, assuming they don't make you prove that the CD is defective or something. That was the thought going through my head this morning.

read the rules...there is a "second chance sweepstakes" if all tickets aren't claimed.

yea, you arent supposed to buy it if it doesnt have that gold seal. that gold seal indicates the "specially marked" cd's they were talking about in the rules.

did yall hear about what happend to some npgmc members? alot of them receive their package with the shrink wrap already removed (but laying in the box) eek

that would totally suck! sounds like someone at musictoday is willing to risk their job....just to go see prince biggrin

oh no! I just bought the cd thru npgmc today after reading that someone's friend received a purple ticket after ordering thru them. I better not get a cd that was opened and/or resealed!

And anyways, wouldn't the rules of the contest exclude musictoday people from being able to win? You know how friends and families of all groups associated with Prince, musictoday, npgmc, etc etc are not eligible or some such.
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up

Oh my god thats the funky shit!

the ones sold there better not have a better chance of winning than any other one... that would be illegal and if it were found out would cost them a lot in fines.

friend and non-imidaiate family members are the only ones that can be excluded... but if you remember the people at McDonalds were stealing the $1,000,000 prizes and giving them to friends for YEARS. someone even gave theirs to the Cathloic church
