I've never done this before so bear with me... In light of the ridiculous prices for the upcoming Orpheum show, I thought it might be time to band together and try to make our voices heard with an online petition. If Prince does head out on tour (please oh please!), I think it would be good for him to know now how much we valued those pre-sale benefits from the club. So if you'd like Prince to bring them back, please sign the petition and spread the word.

Thanks!

I'm with you all the way!!!!!

And, if member pre-sale prices for premium seats are similar to prices charged by other first-tier superstar concert artists -- in the $225+ range -- will everyone who signs the petition agree not to snivel and moan?

Already did hope many more sign...so far only 7

I'm in

This petition was a wonderful idea. I hope that it is a success. Although, I think you should place greater emphasis in the letter about premium seats. The up front and close seats at Prince's concerts, I believe are a greater concern to all of his fans, rather than the price.
Again, this was a great idea. I truly hope it is successful, because I remember I could not get good seats for his concert in Florida at the Hard Rock, and I have been worried about the ticket situation for when an actual tour may come. I truly appreciate the NPG Music Club, and I hope he brings it back. Great job!

I agree. I'd sign on if it were about good seats -- but I won't ask that the price be lowered.

I never got the chance to join.

I want the club to come back so I can become a member.

I can't remember but wasn't our $25 fee a lifetime membership? But Hell Yes let's bring it back!!!!!

I'm in it's now up to 75 .The seats I got from presale last time he was in Australia were the best BRING BACK THE CLUB. NPGMUSICCLUB 4 EVER!!!!!

Again, I think the petition is a great idea, but it should be slightly edited to put a greater emphasis on premium seats for NPG Music Cub members, rather than emphasizing the need for cheaper tickets.

I completely agree. The point should be stressed that as members we want premium seats to enjoy the show, not just cheap seats. Because, we could end up with cheap seats anywhere in the arena. We simply want the premium seats that our lifetime NPGMC membership should award us for being supporters.

I'm with you on requesting to re-establish the fan club along with the chance for premium seats. As far as pricing, he can charge what he wants, I would guess it would depend on how he sets up the club. Charge a premium for the club or a premium for the premium seats.

So I saying, let him decide the costs, but definitely ask him for the club back. I'd be in for that.

ditto.

it aint about the pricing. it is about the premium seating. it was a very nice perk, even for all those that complained of having to pay the $25 membership fee

i agree. bring it back. i would even pay another membership fee if I had to. worth it to me.

No kidding! I would send Prince a check for $25 if it meant I could get great seats at a concert. I would do it everytime!

at this point me too. its just so ironic how folks were bitching about the $25 and saying the NPGMC was useless and now look. As I have argued before, the concert benefits to me were priceless.

signed it! great idea

Signed up, lets hope this works in the UK too

I totally agree. I am too old to go through the stress of trying to get tickets AND good seats the old fashioned way. I LOVED the premium seating pre-sale perks.

I would pay another $25 for the lifetime of 3121, since the NPGMC lifetime has ended. I finally figured out that the lifetime membership was obviously for the lifetime of the club - not my lifetime.

Count me in, too

NPG FOREVER

Gets my vote
