how shortly is shortly..few hours, a day. I think u may have to do a Clint Eastwood, and ride over there, light up a smoke (yes inside the hotel lobby), speak softly, and tel them "gimme my tickets PUNK", if this works, could u get me a couple.

I havent heard a word either...

Has anybody gone to the Roosevelt in person to make a purchase?? I rather have
a solid written receipt in my hand rather than a verbal confirmation.

...something, something just aint right

gee i wonder who will actually be preparing the food for this since lena morgan prince's personal chef of almost 4 years resigned yesterday

if p was paid by verizon and the roosevelt then that means that prince himself did NOT set these prices if the show is being sponsored by verizon, just like citibank sponsored the san francisco show, then the "suits" can set whatever price they want i'm not saying he doesn't know but business is business and they wanna recoup also who says that fans are "entitled" to attend every show sometimes there are events that are specifically targeting the moneybag/casual fan p did a lot over the years for diehards so cut the man some slack if you can't afford to go i know you're disappointed but that doesn't mean there won't be something else later on and i don't get the madonna comparison cuz those high ticket prices was for an arena tour not standing next to 70 people in a room with 200

my aunt just called again about tickets and they said that Prince originally requested tickets be $75 and only contest winners get VIP but the hotel wanted to pay PRince his cut out of sales and since this isnt really being promoted by promoters the raised the price to pay him his fee. so although he is making up all the concert rules, it still is a business.

I had an epiphany today. I'm 37 yrs of age, and still crawling over the web to find info on tix, this time to the Roosevelt. As I was tripping over the lack of information and utter confusing way in which it's being handled, I thought, you know, I'd much rather just collect old films of performances and watch when the nigga just played and did things his way, as opposed to go through all of this drama he's creating for a ticket. Example, I just called the Roosevelt, and the message confirmed what I was thinking. All they say is that you should go to 3121.com or their website for ticket info. Both of those venues say send an email or call the hotel. WTF. I can honestly say that at this point, I could see him or not, but no more jumping through hoops. It's kinda corny when you think about it. When he came to SF last month, I was in a club 1/2 a mile away and didn't trip, as I really didn't feel like getting a scalped tix. Life is too short for drama.
Sat is my b-day, I have a room reserved and airfare for LA, but damn, nukka still can't give out definitive info about the gigs. I suppose that when I was younger, this was kinda cool and all, but now, it's more of a pain in the ass. And how out of sync with the times do you have to be to suggest that people send a c/c number via e-mail? I think that when it's al lsaid and done, they simply have some very unprofessional people handling these things. And I'm tired of the chick thing to. Chelsea Rodgers? We get it Prince, you can pull the bitches. But, really, who is she but another pretty face, which are literally a dime a dozen in LA, and a giel who can design t-shirts? Do we really have to put up with another protege who's bring propped up cause she's slightly black and pretty? I know this has be said ad nauseum, but I really wish he had the attitude he did back in the day...even 5 yrs ago. I guess it's cool that it's all about the benjies at this point, but damn, if you want people to pay, get your shit together.

This whole thing has me laughing my ass off.

Here comes Prince talking about a charity perfume...where he gives 7% of the profits to 7 charities. Generous, Princey.

Next, he announces a set of 7 shows (at a hotel, no less) for the down to earth price of $3121 (and that doesn't even included tax, tip, or alcohol) or GA tickets for $312.01.

All of this 3121 business, of course, thanks to a cd that dropped a year ago and went...nowhere.

This guy is totally crazy. And quite frankly, anyone who supports this lunacy is just as crazy.

What is everyone putting down for 'affiliation'? And just to be clear, general admission does not include the aftershow, correct?

i guess not $312.01 cause people are and will still pay for it. i guess we will know how much is too much when no one buys a single ticket. but as of now, these prices aren't too much cause folks, including me are waiting for a response to see when and if we are going
