Printable skywalker said: Not to piss on the purple parade, but I wihs he was doing the thing at Paisley Park. Don't get me wrong, from a nostalgia/historical angle this aftershow is cool, but:
1. More people can fit inside Paisley Park--better chances of getting in. 2. Taking the trek out to Chanhassen is inconvenient, but it eliminates many a casual fan from taking your spot. 3. Don't you wish the npgmusic club was still around for this one? I'm with you...First Avenue is cool but I would rather he did this at Paisley Park. Otherwise it could be a nightmare trying to fit everybody in. Besides I've never been to Paisley Park and I wanna see it. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

I can't tell you how FREAKING EXCITING it is for me to have the chance to see him at First Avenue. I was much too young to see him when he played there in the 80's and Glam Slam Mpls closed down before I was 21, so I never got to go.
And I practically grew up in First Ave. From my first all ages show at 15 to Sunday Night All Ages Dance Parties to just about every favorite club show I've ever been to, like, EVER. I've been to the Park. This is exactly the kind of thing to make me FREAK the HECK OUT! 
Now, I had better be able to get tix. |

That's hilarious! And it's funny cuz it's true!!! Gotta love the Purple One...... | |

Now, I had better be able to get tix. Many to most of the Prince shows at the Glam Slam were all age because I went to a lot of them and we're both the same age. I remember they would give us a wrist band if we were underage. | |

Well, that sucks. People are going to be lining up the morning of if not the night before...
Again, reform the NPGMC. Make it easy for your fans. I think we have proved time and time again that we'd pay more $$$$$ for more convenience and guaranteed seats... [Edited 7/5/07 17:26pm] "New Power slide...." |

Hopefully the line isn't so long that those of us with tickets to the Macy's show can get there in time. | |

This is seriously bad timing. If people need to be in line to get tix at the Avenue and they go on sale at three but Macy's starts at 4:00. OHHHH It is tough to be a Prince fan! | |

I can't imagine more than a few hundred people will wait in line for a long time. The projected high for Saturday is 95 degrees and the tickets go on sale at the hottest time of the day. I'm going to go down there at 1:30 - 2:00 and see what happens. It's a good thing Macy's is just a few blocks away from the Ave. And that Prince never starts on time. | |

Well...u must pick ur battle. Which show is more important to you? Since the seats are assigned and u wanna go to after show, I would wait in line for First Ave tix and go Macys show afterwards. Take plenty to drink and change of clothes...and 3121 perfume!! It's gonna get "funky" in line and during the shows!! LOL
Man, I wish I could go!  The one and only Technagirl | |

I'm basing my hopes on the Macy's on-sale. People camped out for that, but I bought the same tickets from my couch in Iowa a few hours later. This is earth shattering for us, but to the general public we're a bunch of freaks hanging on to a musician that hasn't put out a record in 20 years. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |
