Printable Vinniecent said: Ok there are 3 concerts. So 515€/3= 171€. But it's still too much and can't be explained by inflation, which 'only' rose by 2 points since 2007. I'd suggest he'd play the millionaire fair instaid. Oh no! I'm already hating!  I haven't seen the price nor the number of concerts be confirmed by 'official' sources yet. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I'd suggest he'd play the millionaire fair instaid. Oh no! I'm already hating! I haven't seen the price nor the number of concerts be confirmed by 'official' sources yet. Yeah you're right. I'm probably getting excited too early. I asked the Montreux man about the price and this is what he answered: ...on other sites, the last rumor states Madonna... My advice, wait that we announce the date and line-up.
 anyway I like the idea of madonna playing there more than prince playing there for the crazy amount of 500€ (which I can't afford).
Madonna can ask what she wants, I won't complain because I won't be there  | |

I guess we really won't know it before the official announcement. If they could only say WHEN the announcement will be, that would save a lot pc-time for me. | |

Ok, let me put it STRAIGHT (once and for all). It's Prince in Montreux. The Price is unknown yet and whoever will give you an amount is just making it out of his mind. Now all you need is a bit of patience and everything will be announced by Mr. Nobs when he will be authorised to announce it by our man. [Edited 5/12/09 4:21am] | |

A train ticket on the Eurostar to Paris and then TGV to Geneva is about £120. Then Geneva to Montreux won't be much... Hotels on the other hand are all but full as the Montreux Jazz Festival is a HUGE event. And they're not cheap either - looking at £250 upwards for one night! So 3 gig tickets at £50 each (one can hope!) plus the travel = £400 with a little change. And somewhere to sleep....  yea i checked everything from my end when it was first unoffically annouced and it came to about £500. i can afford it, but i don't no if i can justify it to myself. tho i would do just about anything to see prince in a small concert or an aftershow. i didn't really enjoy the 2x i saw him @ the o2 as much as i should have. i was to far away.

Me, too. I would've liked to be at Coachella too, sounded like a great show at a great festival. Lucky Europeans. By the way, is the Montreux always in Switzerland(or a city in Switzerland) ?

geegee said: gurgi said: Hello everyone,
I wanted to create a new thread about the MONTREUX festival just in case someone (like myself) is still actually interested in attending the shows, meeting up with other fans, etc. Just a thread for fans in need of practical stuff and real information. But there's so much crap about his fees and whatever that I don't care about this thread any longer. This is what was in my message on the other (already closed) thread : There's so much HATE going 'round on that other MONTREUX thread, I decided 2 make a new 1. At this point Montreux is actually nothing more than a rumor so if anybody discovers some REAL info (in other words : if it actually becomes a real NEWS item instead of a rumor) please post it here. And keep up the POSITIVITY y'all ! It got closed immediately by one of the moderators ; here's what he/she said : it's actually more than a rumor, which is why we posted it on the front page. and if you're seeing too many lemons on the news item thread, then i guess it's time to start making some lemonade, no? First of all, since it's not on the Montreux site or the LotusFlow3r site as we speak, IT IS A RUMOR. I'm almost certain it WILL happen, but until I can actually order tickets IT IS A RUMOR. Secondly : although I was LOL about the lemon/lemonade remark, I can't believe you moderators actually encourage all this hate shit. Peace, Bart Thank you, I thought I hit the wrong link. Well, read the post on Dr. Funk..., we (the fans) didn't make this about money, Prince did. He could have just announced playing the festival, but he HAD to throw in the "highest paid" bullsh**. I just think that is in bad taste. Prince, Keep your finances to yourself. It comes off as boasting, never a good thing. I wish u heaven | |

I've come to the conclusion that pointing out the obvious to a Prince apologist is a crap-shoot at best. Blinders apparently come in all sizes. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Switzerland also boarders with Germany and italy, so that speak all three languages. | |

Interesting twist... How would that be? I thought that assumption was obvious, even to you.
No, it isn't. Perhaps it's because I am from a different geographical region, or that my french is not top-notch (au contraire!), or... Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
