PRINCE'S "3121" LIVE AT
THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL
PRESENTED BY VERIZON WIRELESS, V CAST Song ID
AND THOMPSON HOTELS


In an unprecedented Los Angeles event,
Purple will Reign for seven special intimate performances
starting Saturday, June 23rd at the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

Hollywood, CA (June 18, 2007) - Pop music icon Prince will be taking up residency and bringing "3121" exclusively to Thompson Hotels', Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel this summer, presented by Verizon Wireless. For possibly the last time in Los Angeles, the royal purple carpet will be rolled out for his Hollywood homecoming and the artist has chosen the legendary hotel for seven exclusive, intimate performances commencing Saturday, June 23rd, 2007.

Reminiscent to Prince's legendary after hours parties in his Beverly Hills home, a select audience of 200 friends and fans will have an incredible opportunity to witness Prince firsthand in Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Blossom Room, home of the first Academy Awards. Known for his spontaneity, Prince has frequently invited musicians onstage for impromptu performances. Past surprise guests have included Sir Elton John, Will.I.Am, Kelis, Sheila E., Herbie Hancock , Maroon 5 and more.

"The 3121 sessions at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will offer admirers close-up and personal evenings with a musical legend," states Jason Pomeranc, of Thompson Hotels. "We are honored and excited to host, both artists and guests alike, for this once in a lifetime experience inside the Roosevelt's beautiful and historic, Blossom Room."

At the 3121 sessions Prince will debut new music including "Guitar," the first single from his much anticipated unreleased album, "Planet Earth." 3121 guests can download "Guitar" right at the venue for free courtesy of Verizon Wireless' new technology V CAST Song ID.

"When Prince, who has consistently been on the cutting edge of music, harnesses innovative technology to deliver his fresh new music, that's a tremendous opportunity for music lovers," said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Verizon. "At Verizon, we're committed to delivering powerful, direct and relevant music experiences and we are pleased to be executing on this through our relationship with Prince and the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel."

The evening will begin at the Dakota restaurant with Prince's personal chef Lena Morgan presenting a VIP dinner, taking over the kitchen from executive chef Tim Goodell. Then the 130 special guests, along with another 70 standing room only attendees, will be welcomed into the Blossom Room for a musical performance like no other. Following every two-hour performance, fans can experience a late-night impromptu jazz set presided over by Prince.

VIP packages, including dinner at the Dakota (tax, alcohol, and gratuity excluded), will be limited to 130 seats, sold in pairs (65) for $3121.00. An additional 70, standing room only tickets will be made available for $312.10 each.

Ticket and VIP package requests will be serviced via email at 3121HRH@ThompsonHotels.com

Prince is back in town-- his town, following recent sold-out performances in Las Vegas. 3121 Live at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will be his last stop before commencing "21 Nights in London" this fall with a possible World Tour to follow.

Just to add on, a friend of mine with verizon wireless service texted, and upon receiving instructions back, said you have to sign up for their V-cast service to enter the contest.. so it's actually not "free" to enter...

Thanks for the update J... Hopefully tix will be available soon...

V-cast is now FREE.

jseven said:

it is? thanks, i'll let her know...

No prob. Good luck. I work 2morrow so don't know what the surprise is or whatever, but I will miss out on it. Hope the surprise is more than one pair of tickets 4 all of us 2 fight over. lol

In addition, I heard there's a potential for 3 shows and afershows this week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and 4 shows and afershows next week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) which would satisfy the 7 show requirement with the Roosevelt. Looks like these shows are gonna be a LOT more intimate than expected due to low ticket sales. I'd look for confirmation to come today or tomorrow because if it's gonna happen they'll know today.

But it makes no sense since no tix are currently available yet you're trying to sell out 3 shows at ridiculously high prices the same week they're possibly announced. Oh well, the joys of being a Prince fan continue. . .

yeah, gonna have to pass and wait for the tour. My wallet is screaming looking at the cost of this one

u gotta be shitting me! 3 grand for 2 tickets and a chair to sit in? well damn....Prince, sorry dude, but now I am glad I went ahead and booked the Mexico trip instead. It didn't even cost me that much to take my whole family to Mexico this summer!

For $312.01, do you get the whole night or just the first concert? Specifically, do you get the aftershow?

I doubt it Rodeo. The place where the after show will be held is very small and could more than likely be filled with just $3,000 tix.

This is the Roosevelt we are talking about, which is filled with the uber rich and the celeb crowd. He is making his chips and the Roosevelt needs to make their money back.

jseven said:

Do you know if I need to purchase the ringtone for the guitar song in order to enter the contest? Thanx

I really hope that the tix price might come down some. That is a fortune and I'll try to go anyway but I just really don't think I can afford it!
I wish he would just come to Alabama or close by.

OMG! $3121.00!! I went to 3121 4 times in Vegas all VIP and 3 of them with aftershows. Drove twice, flew commercial once, flew private once, with hotel...I might of spent around that for all 4 times. I love you P but have fun with your celeb friends on this round. I hope to see you next time you're here on the Westcoast. Have fun everyone and be safe

No, after you send the text message to 8600, you receive one back saying that you need to download the SongID application (which is free) to enter the contest. I had downloaded it previously, but there was an upgrade available that installed. Hopefully that will count for an entry also.

there paying him 3 million for 7 shows you do the math.they have to charge alot to get back some of the money

kmrtnz said:

Well, I guess I will be waiting for the "boots" for this series of concerts...AHHAHAHAHHAHAHA. No, not really...no one on Prince.org buys boots!

kmrtnz said:

I don't see myself paying that much for my son and I to go either. No one I know in my life would pay to see him period. And I would only be taking my son as my escort...so hot damn, if I am gonna pay that kinda money for even Prince And I won't pay 312.01 to stand all night. Jeeez..this sucks big time!

jseven said:

Ok- did anyone listen to the radio this morning? And also do we know HOW and WHERE we can get the tickets? Do we call the Roosevelt or ticketmaster or what?

Did "eye" mention that sucks! but cool beans, hey cuz where u at?

Looks like it's time to start selling my blood again....

PaisleyPark5083 said:

That is way too much money Im glad I got to see him in Vegas, to pay that much money and stand all night, not cool

For that price I was my own aftershow...a PRIVATE one...

Check 3121.com NOW!!!!

Yeah, he's high.

I can see about 20 other acts in Los Angeles this month for that same amount of money... I DO UNDERSTAND that Prince has the right to earn whatever he wants and might need to supplement here and there for other projects down the road -- but I'm losing patience because lately it only seems to be about charging insane amounts of money for, quite honestly, mediocre shows of predictable set-lists.

I'll pass.

yea, I was willing to pay 312 for a solo table ticket...but 1560? hell nawww....yea, he fell off his rocker and bumped his head!

txladykat said:

I sent an email... no reply yet... So I decided to call the roosevelt, they gave me a number to call, and again the usual "no info at this time", frustrating..

way too expensive for my blood. for that much- they better pour champagne from a gold bottle and let me keep it. bad marketing here.

tznekbsbfrvr said:

I want to buy 3 tickets for 3 different nights ;p the standing room only that is, not that loaded...

I don't think I've ever sat at any of the 23 Prince shows I've been to. Why would I need a table? I'm happy to get a standing room ticket at such an intimate show.

$312.01...that's f***ing ridiculous! Somebody is smokin crack. I saw the guy in Vegas 2wice this year for alot less and got to sit next to him an aftershow...that only cost me $20!!! I'll wait for a major tour. The only way I would pay that much is it was his farewell tour or something like that. Maybe he'd attract more fans if he made the prices a little mo' reasonable.
