At 9:30pm the tiny club at the Roosevelt begins to play music from a dj, at 11pm Prince begins to play in the Blossom Room. Then at 1am prepare to groove to an "after-hours free form jazz jam" led by Prince himself.

If you don't have three grand in your pocket, there are "standing room only" tickets available which don't include dinner, but will only run you $312.10 each.

The fun starts this Saturday, June 23rd with other confirmed dates being June 24, June 28th, June 29th, and June 30th, with two more dates to be named later.

Prince indeed will be bringing his regal self to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, kicking off a series of seven performances this Saturday night. Details of the shows, which were to have started earlier this month, have been worked out over the past couple of weeks and will be announced in a release later today.

They are:

The series will be billed "3121 Live" and underwritten by Verizon Wireless, V Cast Song ID and Thompson Hotels, owner of the Roosevelt. Prince will debut new music, including "Guitar," the first single from his new album "Planet Earth," and the song will be available for download by guests at the shows.

Dates of the shows will be this Saturday and Sunday, three nights next week (June 28, 29 and 30), with two additional dates to be announced.

As expected, Prince's shows will not be a cheap ticket. VIP packages (for two), limited to a total of 65, will cost $3,121, with 70 standing-room only tickets going for $312.10. (Yes, numerals in the pricetags add up to 7; the guy has a fondness for that number.)

The show promises to be intimate. The evenings kick off with a 7:30 p.m. dinner in the hotel's Dakota restaurant, presented by Prince's personal chef Lena Morgan. After dinner, guests will go to the Blossom Room for a DJ set followed by a two-hour Prince performance. And at about 1 a.m., Prince will preside over a "free-form jazz jam." Expect cameos by special guests -- the likes of Elton John, Will.I.Am, Herbie Hancock and Kelis have sat in with Price before.
