If any of you are going the first week its open, I would love to hear your experience. I am deciding between general and VIP tickets, knowing that I will go again later when they have things more organized. Any of your thoughts will be appreciated!

I have an extra VIP ticket for Oct 14th at 8pm. I've e-mailed PP to see if I can get my money back, but so far, no response. If I can't, I think I'll give it away. If your interested for this day/time, I'll keep you in mind.

The Associated Press is reporting that the fan memorials left outside Paisley Park have been taken down, and fans are being asked not to put any more up because of the traffic snarls and pedestrian hazards.

I was in the same predicament, stuck with a ticket because the person who said yes snag her a ticket, literally MINUTES after I confirmed I had them said, I changed my mind woot! disbelief and was thinking the same thing to do with it. Then I found out that even though they gave me a NO when I first asked, that they honoured refunds to at least two other people. They made me BUY a third ticket FIRST, and then cancelled the original transaction, stating there was no way for them to refund one ticket shrug I desperately needed the $$$ as this is a unexpected trip so *trying* to keep costs down where possible. Give them a shot if you don't find any takers.

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

Thanks for the info FP!!! You have put so much time and effort into this week organizing get togethers for a great week of celebration. Not sure what I want to do with the ticket yet...may just give it away to "Spread The Love". Think P would like that!! biggrin

Anytime! Just hope everyone has a memorable, special visit to MPLS as we all celebrate Prince mushy OMG that is PRECISELY the words I used when telling a friend I would have to do that as didn't see any other options. To 'Spread the purple Love!' Except I budgeted out and really needed that for food budget portion of my trip so couldn't make it happen. I absolutely LOVE the idea. Your karma will definitely be purple nod hug

Well, short of standing on our seats and yelling "Prince.org!!" as loud as we can, it would be great to figure out how to spot each other in the crowd. Friendly face and all that. I'm going to MPLS alone and I'm not going to let that stop me one bit, but it sure would be nice to know someone.

Are you going to the movies Wednesday? That'll be a meetup opportunity for sure.

I'm not going, but reading your post this came to mind if you'd like to be able to identify others from p.org...maybe all of you going could wear a name tag (or something like one of those "Hello My Name Is" name badges and write in Prince.org on it...or something to that affect). Or a white rose or something...Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in smile.

LovePaisley, do you live in MN or are you flying in?

Booked my hotel... Recommend the Hotel340 because it has a walk through directly to the Xcel center and the bus 1 block away, Bus 54, back to the airport the next morning.

I'm flying in from CT on Wednesday, leaving very early Sunday. If I'm traveling 1,300 miles, might as well see the place. Friends tell me MPLS is a great city. My hotel is downtown and I decided to keep it there, across from Nicolette Mall. I think... its kind of a transit hub?

For ID I was thinking purple bandanas, tied somewhere. Only because they were passed out at Spike Lee's tribute in Brooklyn and I'm bringing a piece of that day with me. Dunno, it feels right.

Anyone get the email from PP tours? "No pictures or video." Say what?!? I'll honor it, but I ain't happy about it. I don't view the world through a cellphone like my kids do, but even I want a couple pictures for a keepsake!

Bring you onw Flash Drive. What are they going to take a picture and then put it on a flash drive? I was liking of VIP tour but seems like it's not going to be worth the extra cost. No pictures really and only first floor.

Is anyone going on the 6th or close? I am trying to decide if I should upgrade to the VIP since it doesn't look much different than Gen. Admission. I want to know specifically about the "photo opportunity" and the additional artifacts. I would have to upgrade 2 tickets so it would be a significant expense. I would really appreciate your thoughts on the tour.

I knew that was coming. I was planning on wearing a smart watch that will record my tour but now I'm scared too because the email said anyone caught filming or taking photos will be banned for life.
I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

Just so I'm clear on this...we can't even take pictures outside of just the building itself?? And will they literally make us hand over our phones when we get there???? That seems a little extreme

so true... they probably don't want to ruin it for the next person. What is the VIP Photo opportunity that they are telling people to bring a flash drive?

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that a wall will not go up around PP as long as fans do not put up items on the fence. There is a virtual wall being created for fans instead, according to the article.

Just signed up for the taste testing samples that Prince use to eat. Should be interesting.

Also, rec'd response back that there will be a place in PP to store small items like backpacks, etc until the tour ends.

receiving the latest email has made me realize this is really happening (2 months ago it felt surreal). In 2 weeks I will be both arriving to MPLS and stepping inside Paisley Park for the very first time. I could only imagine through other people's eyes and in my dreams what being inside Paisley Park was like prior to 4/21. I am trying to not have high expectations for the upcoming tours but I just hope this whimsical/mystic/magicial/timeless atmosphere is preserved instead of a sterile/generic/monotone atmosphere.

Drove by PP over lunch. Definitely the most vehicles I've seen in the parking lot in a while. I saw some guys laying an asphalt walkway between the front and back driveway. And a lady was out weeding and planting some new flowers. With all the vehicles there you can tell they're sprinting to get this finished for Thursday. City council meeting tonight should be interesting. I'm glad it's being streamed online so I can watch it and the Vikings at the same time. lol
