i think he'll just put the clips of the concerts up on his lotus flower site for members? confused



It is fairly apparant to me, and it should be to you all, that he is NEVER going to add content to the website. How long has it been now? Worst $77 bucks I ever spent. And I knew better, that's what makes me mad about it. I was just hoping this would be different.... Guess not.


Yeah, i feel ya on that one.When will we ever learn? lol

Relax man, they're just opinions. chill pill
However, what I can't understand: it's a thread about upcoming concerts in Montreux, which is great, while 90% of the posts is about the 'highest fee' comment confused
Isn't being a fan about liking his music and attending his concerts instead of whining about his personality all the time?

i totally agree, that's why i didn't buy Lotus Flower.. he's equated making hits on the charts to being # 1 at the bank.. its always about the money! cry

You didn't buy lotus because he charged $11.98 for 3 cd's he could've charged us $30 or more? Is it me or do you just like to whine and moan, like he gives a rat's ass.

Maybe not the worst I have ever spent, but I do feel ripped off! I live nowhere near LA, Montreux, London, or anywhere else he plays now. I was hopeful there would be new content on the site. I'd even pay per download for a new song, or a concert track. The first year of the NPG Music Club was awesome! New music all the time, etc. Some kind of consistency with the updates would be nice.

Buyer beware, I guess. If I get a great seat to a show, if he ever comes near me, would be great. The ONA tickets for club members was great. I usually don't complain, but I don't even go to Lotusflow3r anymore, it hasn't changed since day one. And I bought the cd's at Target the day they came out, too.

That's why.

Are you on crack? Since when do you buy music and worry about how much money the artist is making or in some cases not making.
I bet that is not a concern you have with other artist.

New shoes for the Montreux festival- $100

New dress for the Montreux festival- $150

Scanning Lotusflow3r for ticket info daily- $77

Realizing the Montreux festival is in Switzerland and you're in the United States, so it's all a waste of time anyway.....Priceless.....


Now I'm depresses.... sad

There is no standart price in montreux 4 the festival. every concert has a different price (between 50 and 220 swiss franc) that's 60$ - 250$.

because there is no concert til now announced, there is also no price.
watch www.ticketcorner.ch for tickets.

B Funky Wundi cool
I'm searching Tickets or Pic's of it 4 my page www.prince-live.com

I've been watching this site 4 a while now , and I must say that this is probably the most accurate comment that i've seen.
NPGers when will u learn? Did U learn nothing from the NPGMusicClub?
I am die hard just like the rest of U, but unlike MOST of U here, I've seen the clear picture. Prince is all about gettin' paid first and foremost. His fan base fall last in a long list of priorities of his.
The fact that he's now tellin' his fans how much he's gettin' paid 4 shows and yadda yadda, should let U know what it is.
I..did NOT sign up 2 lotu$flow3r.com , because I learned from NPGMC.
If u're sitting around waiting 4 homeboy 2 do the right thing by his fans.
U're watching time go by..cause it'll NEVER happen.

By the way, to get to Montreux by plane you've got to fly to Geneva or Zurich and then take the train. Geneva is better because it's much nearer.

Well said.

How fucking arrogant to boast about how much you're getting paid for your "art" when the rest of the world is in a recession.

Prince really can be a dick sometimes. There's a valid reason why Steve Fargnoli never let Prince talk !


I get the feeling it's to show that writing Slave on his face and leaving Warners etc, has worked and now he gets paid (what he considers to be) the fair amount. It's a shame that... Bragging about your wealth is such low class... Prince should leave that to the rap boys...



I'm confused? I thought this was a rumor? Nothing confirmed. I didn't see where Prince was bragging about his money.

What exactly is the purpose behind this statement? That Prince is in high demand? That Prince is still relevant? That Prince has lost touch with what really matters to the folks that will be reading this "rumor"?

It is just nonsense.
If normally each performer gets about the same wage per unit of time, of course P will get triple the normal amount and thus perhaps be the best paid performer.


Maybe You get all 3 shows for a set price not more than $300-that includes Hotel & travel for 3 days for all who joined LF! "Show me the Love-not the $$$!"

Peace!

I guess you can sell 3x as many tickets for one nights work


I don't think they will charge you for the 3 concerts, it's a festival: most of the time you pay for one day, or like montreux, for a series of concerts.
But if you're right than we have to pay for a concert in the auditorium, another one in the miles davis hall, and for an aftershow someplace else confused
If he dares charging more than 60€ per concert I will be pissed
Prince -
remember those in the hood or lower salaries-who for sur didn't get any possible AIG bailout! or are still workin hard for the $$$ if they can!

Peace!
Randee

so Prince if you are planning to charge every show like in LA and you are reading this:
FANS NEED SOME KIND OF COMBI-TICKET, which is cheaper than 3 seperate tickets.

Listen beautiful, you didn't see the fun little tantrum aimed at me which I was responding to because it was snipped. Why the angry response to my post when you don't have the back-story? Why the hate? Don't I treat you right?

other artists I listen to don't brag about stupid crap like getting paid. Nor do they release inferior albums with shoddy paid websites. It's a low point in my 30 years of being a Prince listener. He puts WAY too much energy into everything but his new music imo. That's right, in my opinion. So lets not argue an opinion. I know you like pretty much anything he does, and that is fine.
The problem he has is that he puts things like this out there, so it is fair game for commentary.
What do YOU think the reason for him bothering to mention this tidbit is?

To sell tickets. I think the reason he said it was to get the attention of music fans who may not yet be fans of Prince. He knows he has your attention.
