Why the hell is Prince playing in Monaco anyway?!

Honestly,

How many of his fans live there?

I'm guessing quite a few hardcore fans from Italy, South of France, Switzerland and maybe even Spain are pretty happy. Maybe even some from northern mainland Europe made the trip.

Sure it's am exclusive principality in terms of living there, but you are allowed to visit and stay in a hotel, maybe take in a Prince concert or two, wink

Don't sweat it, he'll play the US/UK/Other European countries again one day...

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Who knows but why does it matter? It's a different place for Prince to play and that's cool that he's not just playing in the cities that he usually plays in. He'll be back to a "regular" city to play soon.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

He's there making a bank deposit. I'm guessing that the amount is divisible by 77. He's obviously playing the shows to celebrate his windfall.

500 x 200 = 100,000

while

40,000 x 50 = 2,000,000

Maths do not support your argument though... hmmm

Who cares about why he plays there, he's got motivations that only himself knows.
Rich people who can afford have got ears also..excited
If I had money I would have attended the August 13th, but definetely the 16th is too expensive!! sad
It'd be cool and interesting to see him at the Olympia in Paris for several days, not a very big theatre but enough to create and feel a special mood.

With his taste in women, his next two day performance should be in Rio or Sao Paulo.

Well I think his choice has more to do with a simple desire to expand his performance boundaries, the story is that he saw pictures of the place and said "thats where I want to play next" (or something along those lines). He'd never done it b4. The fact that its an extremely bougie (sp?) place where he could extract so much per ticket was just an added plus. Hell, if I were a musician and could play at such a place for such a price I'd be all over it too, and knock out a mini-vacation in the region while im at it.

I know...
I was referencing your first sentence about the "bank deposit". It could have been much bigger if he played in a large venue with cheaper tickets. And yet he chose not to.

He doesn't always do this, he did play 21 nights!! at the O2 in London for really low price of £31.21! and aftershows for only £25! and what we got in return was worth gold!!

I know what you mean about why there, but I don't care as long as he mixes it up and plays here and there and is still playing great - why care? smile
