I am soooo bummed. I put off making room reservations at the hotel and now they are all booked for the 7 Fridays beginning June 15th. So as desperate as this is, if anyone is willing to host me and/or my husband, I will be more than obliged to split the costs of a room. Feel free to orgnote me.....


Maybe they are putting together a package together that includes tickets and rooms and have taken the rooms off the market. The Chateau Marmont is a short cab ride away from the Roosevelt if you wanna have a "Hollywood" experience.

Why not just find another hotel?

Yeah, I know that is an option. But with Prince's hours, it's a matter of convenience to me. That's why I stayed at The Rio. It was nice to know I could go back and forth to my room. But I will begin looking around.

That would be great if they have a package. I wish they would release more info!

Marriott Renaissance and Crown Plaza are a mile away and really nice and not overly expensive.

Exclusive: Seven weeks of Prince in Hollywood?

Hollywood will be raining purple this summer, if current plans hold up.

Prince is expected to announce a seven-week residency at the historic Roosevelt Hotel that will include a heaping helping of music, dining and VIP guests, sources say. The stint is contingent on final approval of the contracts, which could come as early as this week. The string of shows is scheduled to start in mid-June, about a week after the 49th birthday of the man born Prince Rogers Nelson.

What the plans call for: On seven Friday nights starting June 15, the Roosevelt will close off its lobby at 9 p.m. Then, at 11:30 in the Blossom Room in front of 250 seated guests and an undetermined number of standing-room-only patrons, Prince (joined each week by special guests) will give a two-hour performance. At 2 a.m., Prince's private chef will take over the kitchen of the Roosevelt's Dakota restaurant, which will morph into an after-hours dinner club. As part of a jazz ensemble, Prince will entertain diners until 4 a.m.

Nobody's going to be asking where afterparty is, that's for sure. Ticket information might be available this week -- suffice to say these tickets will not be cheap. A one-off performance given by Prince last year at the Roosevelt attracted a star-studded crowd.

Prince last week was announced as part of a pricey concert series this summer in the Hamptons. And just two weeks ago, in announcing 21 dates this summer in London, Prince said he was taking some time off to study the Bible.

Prince will be staying at the Roosevelt all summer as he and his band rehearse for their tour.

Im not too worried about that- I just want to know if we have to get them in a package deal at the hotel or if they are gonna be available on ticketmaster. Thats what is frustrating me. Just release them already....

Not fair that he discounted all of his London shows and is sticking it to us Americans mad. What the hell makes him think we can afford more? Helloooo Prince- Los Angeles IS one of the most expensive cities in the USA to live in, and most of your fans are regular working folks who could use the discount! whistling

Don't cater to the .0005% of the population out here that has money!!!


Excuse me but $64 for a seat in an arena in London with 23,000 other people is NOT the same thing as a club that holds a 1000 people in Las Vegas OR a club in LA that holds 500. Therefore, it stands to reason, that prices SHOULD be different. It's NOT apples to apples. That's just common sense. It's expensive, sure, but no other major artist would play a room that small and only charge $125. And it's Prince so he's WORTH more than that.
[Edited 5/22/07 5:46am]


i agree with you here on this one! i went to the orpheum theatre concert in S.F a few wks ago and paid a bit more than i wanted to for the tickets.they were like $225 each and i bought 2 b/c you can NEVER go alone!(which is a bit out of the budget) but it was a small venue so it made sense. it all makes sense!! neways enough bitching and moaning, just accept it and move on...that or just save your money!!
Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!!

I agree- If u want to go- just accept the price and go! I went to the Orpheum and spent quite a bit for 4th row center and let me tell u was it worth it! Could see his chest hairs!

I'm sure you are. smile They are not going to charge the same price for seated VIP and standing room only. Just like in Vegas, you'll pay a premium to have a VIP table with bottle service, etc. So that's prolly at least $1000 giving Prince wiggle room to charge significantly less for general admission.


That why I said AVERAGE $1231 per ticket.


I guess I was off by a few hundred bucks!
