this is such bullshit!
how can all these shows not have tix available at 12:01?
i tried thru ticketmaster.. im sure they want me to go thru stubhub and jack up the prices..

what a rip off!

I got tickets to the Conga room and the Nokia Center.

Now if I can get the Nokia Club on Lotusflow3r I will be all set. Keep trying.

nokia theatre is still selling them, i just tossed mine back a second ago because the seats were not doing it for me. i got club nokia tix no problem. keep in mind, there is only 1055 capacity at conga and 2000 something for club nokia. there was a presale yesterday and his fan club is holding tix...makes sense it would sell fast

How did you manage this? I went in at exactly 2:00 p.m. (I had been waiting since 1:43) and was told after a 1 minute wait time, that there were no tix for the Conga room. When I tried the LA Live, it said the same. IMPOSSIBLE.

We got Club Nokia tix....logged in right at noon, had to try 3 or 4 times before it went through and we were able to get them. First few times said that no tix were available. U gotta keep trying!

I know! I cannot believe that the tix went so fast on Tickmaster. How many did they make available to the public - 10?

I also cannot believe that I got 2 tix for the Club Nokia show at midnight! I went for that one first. Then all the others were gone. I find this VERY suspicious as the Nokia Theatre holds 7100!

I guess Prince is trying to get all of our money on Tuesday and the ticket pimps like stubhub will get the rest. It really is a slap in the face to the so-called "tru fans."

I got my ticket to Club Nokia first and then tried 4 The Conga Room. At first it said no tix available when I clicked on best available,but then I tried GA and got a ticket.U should try again.

How could there have been a Presale yesterday? I thought they all went on sale today?

Woohoo got some floor tickets to the Club Nokia show! I'll see if I can get some more on Tuesdays!

only way to get tix to nokia theater is to do 1 ticket.....

so i have to go alone!

oh well... at least i got in..

but something smells fishy

gonna b fun ..... gonna hum all day ya im in ...

amex presale, if i'm not mistaken.

I tried several times and STILL couldn't get anything for either Nokia or the Congo Room. This SUCKS because I know it's going to be painful trying to get tix through his site on Tuesday. I hope his server can withstand the traffic. I ABSOLUTELY hate the hysteria that I endure trying to get Prince tickets!!!

airbak said:

I got singles.. I am going alone..

this thing is a mess...somehow I got Nokia Tix, but Conga and Club tix ain't poppin up...and I was online @ 12p. What a mess...well, I guess we'll have to pray for Tuesday

Sucks. I think this captcha I got pretty much sums it up:

let's be strategic about this...if someone got 2 for one show, but not 2 for another, we should pair up. IE I got tix for Nokia Theater, but maybe someone else didnt and they Got tix for the Conga Room...

sassybritches said:

there was no presale, this site would have been blowin up with that info...

I got tickets for Club Nokia. The rest I'll wait' till Tuesday on.

sbacon1999 said:

yeah the captchas messed me up too

yeah this bites, i only got theatre too, just going by myself. Want to get tix for congo & club nokia. Hopefully ol' boy saved enuff for us on tues...

If anyone has extra's for the conga & club nokia orgnote me pleazzz, good lawd!

WOW!! Tix already up on scalper sites for insane coin!!!

sassybritches said:

Really? Wow! I didn't know about an AMEX pre-sale. I hate this crap. These are the times when I DESPERATELY miss the NPGMC. As far as ticketing goes, Lotusflow3r.com has humongous shoes to fill. The NPGMC ticket buying experience allowed me to forget just how ridiculous it can be to try to get Prince tickets.

This is also what happens when our boy does stuff so last minute. Why are AMEX holders getting a pre-sale and not site members? Oh, I know because he's using tix as a way to lure folks to the site. However, he should already know that his fans are going to sign up anyway. He should have launched the site, then had a ticket pre-sale. However, that would have taken some actual planning, and that is too much like right!

Farfunknugin said:

that's what we need to do, if someone got tix to one show, but not the other, let's hook up and handle this. swap for swap. Of course, we'll need to wait until Tuesday to see how this all pans out before we plan. Anyone game?

MarriedIntoPurple said:

AND Ebay...let the games begin.

no more tickets thru Ticketmaster for Club Nokia or the Conga Room. Stop trying...just got off the phone with them.

Something's definitely fishy... which is sad sad sad... Perhaps there wil be some redemption on Tuesday, but I'm not holding my breath.

RTShin said:

You are so right! It is SAD SAD SAD! I cannot think of another way to describe it.

I hope Prince and his people see this. Has anyone seen the number of tix all over eBay for outrageous amounts? Why are people even bidding on them? They just feed into this nonsense.

This is really a disaster for general fans who want to go. The fans will hand over our $77 on Tuesday for a site membership and the hope of tix for these shows, but what about the general fan who just wants to go see Prince live? Do they have to pay scalpers and ticket pimps out the back door?

Prince talked about the black hole of the Internet, but concert ticket buying has become an even bigger, deeper black hole.

I just checked ebay and SEVERAL tickets are already on there going for insane prices! I hope Prince takes care of the "tru fans" on Tuesday but this is REALLY leaving a bad taste in my mouth. These scalpers need to be stopped!

There are still tics available for the Nokia Theater if you want to go single...
Like everyone else I was on at noon and struck out for the other two venues.
