Password Change was Brilliant Move! Kudos to NPGMC for making sure that the only people getting those presale premium tickets are members of the club.
Changing that password at the last minute probably kept scalpers and other non-members who got ahold of the password the night from getting those seats in the first 10 or so rows. These measures are too late to help the members in Chicago who got row 20 and balcony, but the rest of you are benefiting from the changes being made. | |

I went to the Saginaw show (first on tour) and fifteen minutes before the tickets went on sale, I got an email from NPGMC telling me the password was "rainbow". When the sale started fifteen minutes later, they had changed the password and had not sent out a message saying so. After a couple of fumbling moments traveling to the NPGMC tour page, I got an auto-sent email stating the NEW password that they had changed to just prior to the sale. If I had relied on NPGMC to send me an updated email on their own, I wouldn't have gotten 2nd row tickets.
All of this is to say that I highly recommend that anyone trying to get tickets check the NPGMC tour page to get an updated email with password, seconds before you try to buy tickets. Good luck everybody; the tour is fucking great! | |

NPGMC is verifying every ticket against the membership list, so changing the password at the last minute is not necessary anymore, as scalpers can't purchase tickets regardless. The password "change" was not intentional, it was another screw-up by someone at either NPGMC or Ticketmaster. All this screw-up today did was let the "smart" members get front row for all three shows, while dumbies like me who didn't think to take out the hyphen right away got seats in the back of the member section for every show. Next person who ass-kisses NPGMC about today's fiasco is getting a cyber-smack! [This message was edited Thu Mar 21 14:00:22 PST 2002 by BanishedBrian] No Candy 4 Me | |

Who'll volunteer to be the fall guy when Prince looks at the front row for a white guy to rename Lynch in his little Family Name skit?   | |

He might have to stop the song and start all over again to give you enough time to get to the stage since you're so far back! Heh heh...at least he can probably hear your boo's from where you're sitting if he does this skit again! | |

Sorry to be rude, but I can't be nice to someone who chose their org name from Prince's worst album of all time. We're not "bitching" about "getting" 5th row. I'm bitching because I pay money to get presales, and the BEST seats I have for any of the three shows is 7th row adjacent to the wall in the corner. If I was 7th row middle, that would be cool. The Saturday show had half the orchestra sold before I got to it, so I said f'it and didn't even bother. Think I'm paying $150 per seat to sit half way back the theatre? You better ask somebody!

You did better with your 7th row seats than others did in earlier cities where NO protections where in place for club members. | |

That's the problem. You're holding them to up to a standard based on their past behavior. That's like congratulating someone who gets a C in school because they got a D last semester. No Candy 4 Me | |
