Exclusive Preview Night Event - Oct 26

As a special offer to our Purple Friends & Family, we are hosting an exclusive private preview of the My Name Is Prince exhibition, taking place on Thursday, October 26th at The O2. You can be one of the first to see the exhibit! Tickets to the pre-opening gala will include:

• Access into the three VIP rooms with a white glove artifact experience
• Exclusive supervised photo opportunity in the VIP rooms
• Special guests in attendance
• Special takeaway bag of Prince merchandise
• Celebratory glass of bubbles upon arrival
• * Note that photography will not be permitted in the main exhibition.

Tickets are extremely limited for this special event on the 26th, so those interested in attending are encouraged to purchase now while supply lasts. Tickets can be purchased via the official Paisley Park website.

We look forward to seeing you in London!

...although at £140 per pop, I'm kind of glad I wasn't in a position to talk myself into this!

I reckon the merchandise bag will be a Planet Earth CD and a LotusFlower t-shirt!!

It's Friday and you CAN'T buy tickets from the official exhibition website!

BUT, you CAN buy a private preview from the Paisley Park website:

Very odd indeed!

I'm glad the old Prince way of doing things hadn't changed!

Just got the PP exclusive preview night email invitiation too but as you rightly said at £140 a pop...I'm happy with the VIP ticket until I actually get to PP next yr. I look forward to hearing reports from anyone who attends though.

I'll save the extra to spend at the merch shop, I have enough copies of planet earth from the 21 night residency so I'm looking forward to some new things from the exhibition.

I thought £25 for a standard ticket was a bit high (especially for your average member of the public), but £60 for VIP and £140 for the preview night!??

.

Who charges extra for a preview night!?

...you do get a glass of bubbly for your extra £80!

actually its £140 per ticket plus £14 venue fee plus £7.15 service charge so its actually £161.15 per ticket but yes you do indeed get that one glass of bubbly

Gone for VIP on the first Saturday.

Also gone VIP - I would probably have regretted not paying the extra.

Friday 3rd November

Looking forward to it. We saw 2 of the 21 nights at the O2

Just bought my ticket for the Paisley Park Purple People Private Preview. Okay that's not exactly the name of the ticket, but I wish it was. I know, £160ish is a lot, but I thought, what the hell, I'm only going the once. Although I am thinking about buying a standard ticket for the following week. Or maybe a VIP. Hopefully they'll be selling the Paisley Park Tour books there.

Good on you:) enjoy it!! May I be so bold as to ask for a 1000 word review of the event with pros and cons??

It looks like all VIP tickets for all weekends are now sold out, unless I'm mistaken!

I imagine the white glove artefact experience will be the holding of one of Prince's instruments, possibly the purple acoustic guitar in the Cream video that's part of the limited period Ultimate Experience tour at Paisley Park that's mentioned here...

Is there something about the midwest were people do nothing but bitch about the cost of everything even if they are not spending their money.

Does Mr. Bream not realize what concert tickets cost these days? At least at Paisley you get a meal with your visit.

I wonder if Mr. Bream gave away the profits he made from his book about Prince or the one is suppose to be writing now?

Well I went for a standard ticket as an one man protest against the VIP experience having exclusive exhibits. I don't think Prince would have been cool with that - I'm sure he would have wanted the full exhibition to be affordable for the fans. Maybe one of those nutty psychics on YouTube can channel him and find out...

Maybe you and the psychics can figure out a means to upkept a 65k foot facilty without tour income coming in.

Yeah, they can jog on and do one if they think I'm spending that much on a "preview" night!!

Looks like an additional 21 days added!

Probably the plan all along.

Even before this was announced the FAQs on the website said "closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day" ... if it was only 21 days from end of October, surely Christmas isn't even an issue ...

Looking forward to reading the reviews on this. If this get positive reviews, there may be more countries in the future. Well, hoping that will be the case.

I totally agree, I also thought that.

However it makes a mockery of marketing this as a three week residency and parallelling this to the concert run.

Two VIP tickets bought for 6th November...Going to travel the day before so my friend and I can have Bonfire Night in the Big Smoke too, lol!

Looks like the exhibit will add another 21 days in addition to the 21 already listed. http://mynameisprince.co.uk/

VIP ticket booked for Nov 4th....Paisley Park next year. All my Christmasses came at once! Lol.

Let's see if the gala is worth it
