It looks like these package tickets will only be available at Macy's. If not, I'd purchase one online.

The local Mpls news site www.kare11.com has a news feature about this concert. In the write up they say:

"The July 7 concert, 07/07/07, is tied to the release of a new Prince perfume called 3121. Prince fans recognize the number as the title of a recent Prince CD, and as the address of the singer's Hollywood Hills mansion."

The part about it being the address of his Hollywood Hills mansion is news to me. Is this correct? Does he really own a home with this address? If so, why is he planning to stay at the Rosevelt for weeks this summer? Why not stay at home and play the gigs at the hotel?

I'm certainly not camping out overnight, but I'll probably try to get down there at 8:00 or so.

This is gonna be off the hook! Count me in,road trip woohoo!

Butterflies dancin'in our bellies until we get our tickets.

This is an excellent package the the pr is top notch as well.

Yes, it's true that Prince had a home in Beverely Hills that he rented from Carlos Boozer(NBA player), which he also changed the address to 3121.

Why can't they just sale the darn Macy's package the day before the show? This sucks for the people that lives out of town. Oh well, I'll just have to cross my finger for an aftershow at Paisley or somewhere in Minneapolis.

Start checking Craigslist and eBay on Friday, you'll probably pay quite a premium but you should be able to find them.

wooooo! you gonna be at the show, too?

thankfully the tix are actually quite affordable for me this time around. i'm surprised...i'm seriously thinking about getting one of them $131 tickets (that is, if the hometown and online crowd don't beat me to 'em first).

Can't wait to go....sounds like a great deal to me.....

According to someone on HQ, people are already lining up outside Macy's for the Friday ticket sales.

They aren't consecutive Fridays--just seven Fridays total.

DevotedPuppy said:

Wow...I didn't know that. So I guess booking at the Roosevelt as I did for the seven Fridays was for not? Thanks for the input. Any other word on the LA gigs...seemed to quiet down a bit!!

callmej5 said:

Thanks...

kmrtnz said:

oh, i gotcha. i was confusing my 6s and 7s.

the macy's afternoon show is on the 7th, a few hours before the target center show.

There's also a Ramada (which is going to be cheap, but definitely shady), I think there is a Marriott Courtyard in addition to the regular one.

If you're looking to go high class, you could stroll into the Graves 601 hotel that's across the street from the Target Center, or Marquette or Millenium Hotel, there's a Hilton, a Hyatt, really whatever your heart desires.

DevotedPuppy said:

I'll do a driveby on my way home and have a look see.

i was just outside on my lunch break and didn't see any lines.

DevotedPuppy said:

that's just a big fat jug of wrong.

I've stayed in as many downtown hotels as probably anybody here.

Good value:
The Millenium, look no further. It's on the edge of downtown so you might find yourself walking a while to some places, but for the price it's very nice and you're right next to Eat Street which is very underrated. This is where I stay when I'm on a budget. You can almost always find rooms for less than $100 a night.

Getting nicer:
Check out the Marquette. The rooms are nice, the location is nice, and the prices are right around the $150 range, usually less. If you can splurge, get an executive level room. That gives you access to the lounge where free food and drinks are served, this lounge also has a great view of the city.

Also check out the new hotel, Bank: http://www.starwoodhotels...rtyID=1723. I haven't stayed there yet, but I've been in the lobby and it's very nice. They should still be running grand opening rates so you should be able to get a room for around $200. If you're into Art Deco, this is an amazing place.

Top-End:
The one place in town I haven't stayed in is Graves 601. Everyone says it's super-cool though. I hope to stay there eventually.

I have, however, stayed in the new Chambers Hotel. This place is super-luxurious and is right near the Target Center. Everything about this place is super high-end. The restaurant is quickly becoming regarded as one of the city's best, the bar makes excellent drinks, and it has fine art all over the place. If you're fine with about $300 per night, definitely stay here.


If you don't like to walk and the Millenium is too far away for you, then go with the Marriott City Center. It's not as nice as the Millenium, but it's closer to Target Center.

I just booked a room at the Marriott Downtown Hotel. Their rates are $129 per night and if you pay with a Visa card you get a coupon of $100 towards your next stay. They told me its about 2 blocks from the Target Center.
