Printablei wont fess up to how many i bought 
ok..well maybe i will..i bought 5...then my husband bought 2 more on top of that...(he did this as a gesture due to my upcoming surgery)..and said he was going to buy me a couple more for "good luck"
now mind you, this is is a man who thinks if I buy two of the same album, i have spent to much! i really am surprised that we have had no accounts of a ticket found...and i watch all three boards....i fear they have fallen into the hands of the unknown.  | |

It's certainly possible. But if you won, would you announce it? It would be a bit like winning big on the lottery - hundreds of charities asking for donations and relatives coming out of the woodwork - a poisoned chalice. Still, if I won, I would announce it, just to let everyone know how jammy I was! Yeah, good point, metalorange. I don't know if I'd announce it here...at least not till after I came back!

No ticket in mine either  But, what about that code-thing? Is there supposed to be a special code somewhere or is that just on the ticket?....Or is there somethin' I've misunderstood?[Edited 3/25/06 15:03pm] | |

Same here about when I opened my 3121 cd  I thought for a second I got that purple ticket, my heart skipped a beat! But unfortunately it was only a Tamar flyer

Just check the countdown-site again and you'll see it. | |

HOW TO PLAY WITH QUALIFIED PURCHASE: You may also play the Game when you purchase (while supplies last) a specially marked “3121” CD by Prince at a participating retail location. If you open the CD and it reveals a game piece that has “CONGRATULATIONS. YOU'VE WON A PRIVATE SHOW BY PRINCE AT HIS HOME!” printed on it, you are a potential Grand Prize winner (subject to verification of valid game piece and compliance with these Official Rules). Only winning CD packages will contain a game piece. Only winners will be notified as detailed in paragraph #12 below. Non-winning CD packages will not contain any notification or game card. Not all CD's have the Gold Label - Only Specially Marked ones - Mine came with a normal Sticker that mentioned Black Sweat - Te Amo Corazon and Beautiful, loved and blessed. I think the Sticker was Blue. Obviously not advertised well enough - You know like "Look in the Special Packs of Quavers for a free Tazzo" and all that !! [Edited 3/26/06 7:27am] | |

The other day, I was going to buy 3121 while I was shopping at my local Sainsbury's. It was on the racks at only number 37! As well, there was no cellophane. I think Sainsbury's take the CD out of all their CDs as a precaution! Now, the UK isn't doing the ticket-in-the-album promotion anyway, but anything inside the album, like the Tamar promotion, will already have fallen out, so I didn't buy it. It was like £9.50 or something anyway, I can get it cheaper online.
But it occurs to me that UK fans aware of the promotion but not aware it isn't available in the UK the same as in the US are gonna rifle through such releases - certainly the copies in Sainsbury's I saw looked well rifled throught already! | |

Mine came with the Gold Sticker on the Wrap. Threw it away.....I don't
think it means anything. Just telling you that you could Win, if there is a Purple Ticket in your CD, which there wasn't one in mine. Am I wrong? Do I need to dig it out of the Garbage.....I hope it hasn't gone yet. purpledisc said: dearlybeloved said: You know, now that i think about it, i was so excited to open my cd's from NPG that i didn't even notice that the gold stickers weren't on there!!!!!

Hi Venus - When you say the case was paper like musicology I presume you mean that it is a card sleeve with a plastic house for the CD?? That is I presume, what all the CDs are like. Anybody have 3121 in a Jewel case?? From whatI have read here on the org, I would guess that there are two types of CD's - One with the usual clear seal and one with a "buy me for a chance to win" Sticker on the seal. I did mention in another post somewhere that it wasn't that well advertised in that respect.  | |

Yes, that's what I mean, forgot the word for it. Cds mostly have jewel cases, at least the ones I buy... I thought that I maybe got a "special" copy... Anybody have 3121 in a Jewel case??
 Anyone?...
