You have NO idea how terrible our trip was. On the way there: 1st flight left Newark gate on time, sat on runway for 1 hr. 22 minutes because of "rain in Minneapolis". (It was drizzling when we arrived.) Second leg of flight canceled. Northwest tried to rebook us to leave MPLS at 10:15pm (we were supposed to arrive at final destination at 3:40pm.) Rerouted to Omaha. Plane arrived 1 hour late. No luggage (which we had to pay extra to check), we had to wait for next flight to arrive and hope our luggage was onboard.

On the way back: First flight to MPLS delayed 1 hour 50 minutes, causing us to miss our connecting flight to Newark. We were rebooked on SEPERATE flights to Chicago O'Hare, where we were then supposed to reconnect on a flight to Newark. My flight left MPLS on time. My travel buddy's flight to ORD was delayed so much that he would miss his connection in Chicago. Luckily he was able to snag the last seat on the last direct flight to Newark. That flight was delayed 1+ hours. We were supposed to get into Newark at 5:15pm. I finally got in at 10:45pm, his flight arrived at 12:15am. I got home at 2am and had to work the next day.

And the entire time (both ways) not one single fucking person apologized to us for the inconvience. They tried to blame the weather ("snow in Minneapolis"). I said, There better be a motherfucking blizzard b/c if the MPLS airport can't deal with a little snow they're in trouble. A gate attendant confirmed to us that it is because the Air Transportation Authority in MPLS waited until the day before construction to tell the carriers. Weather was not the reason for our delays.

I am writing a huge, long letter to the ATA and Northwest to complain. It was by far the worst flight experience I've ever had.

My mom called me last night - she was stuck in Pittsburgh b/c - surprise surprise - her flight to Minneapolis had been delayed.

jone70 said:

Too little notice to be doing anything... I wish Prince would give out of state fans more notice.

Oh wow! I'm a 6 hour drive away. I'd go for sure if I knew I could get tickets! I saw Prince for the very first time in Montreux this year and it was a dream come true.

debatting if i should go or not

CanadaChris said:

I'm 4 1/2 hours away by car...but I am GOING!

... Lovesxy1958 and I will be flying in from West Boca (South Florida) for historic evening

bluefish said:

How confident are you that you'll get tickets? I kinda wanna wait and see what the details will be for how they'll be distributing the tickets. I keep thinking how much it would suck to drive 6 hours, not get tickets, and then have to pay for the hotel. But part of me wants to risk it...

While it would be a 9 hour road trip, i'm thinking i'm going to try the flight route (assuming I can get tickets).... has anyone heard about when tickets are going on sale?

Question for ya'll: would you go to the concert alone? I can't find anyone who's willing to head up to MPLS with me...

Make it funky in Minneapolis!!!!

Make it 3 times 7 an' then some mo'!!!

CanadaChris said:

RISK IT!

Was there a pre-sale for lotusflow3r members?

Wow. Folks are flying in for this and I'm debating on spending the $80 when Paisley park is 15 minutes away. You guys are almost talking me into this. I'm loving the band and set-lists as of late.

I'll wonder if there's no more on-street or on-grounds parking around PP, the reason for the shuttle.

All the LF members are over there refreshing their browsers every 3 seconds.

squirrelgrease said:

No I'm not.

This will be in the soundstage area, probably?

I wonder how many folks will come for this. I live about 25 min away but I don't want to drive out there and stand in line for 2 hours or whatever, and then not get in.

Did you join the site?

Do we know if he is performing? It says "jam" but I do not see that P is performing. This is need to know info for me.

CanadaChris said:

Well besides that, I have the added concern of wheelchair accessibility to think about. I would hate to spend the $ and go, only to be forced to park my chair where the view is obstructed...or worse, not be able to enter at all!

But, I'll take the risks!

darkangel7077 said:

your never alone at Paisley Park.....
used to go all the time
long drive from Detroit
but well worth it

We will post an update sometime 2morrow re: tickets, parking, etc. Peace.

squirrelgrease said:

SG,

I hope I get to meet you (if you come) and/or other Orgers there! Let's rock, y'all!

NPGRecords said:

If you could make it so that out-of-towners could purchase in advance, I would be soooo thankful.

what's the crowd capacity at paisley p?
& how many tickets are likely 2 be left after lotusflow3r people get 1st dibs?
& how many people are gonna be tempted at $40 a throw (+ a pair of gloves).?
maybe he will declare a rave in his back garden 4 the overspill..all those coats/hats/longjohns/bottles of water

NPGRecords said:

Tomorrow???

So does this mean I can relax?

NPGRecords said:

Great first post.

CanadaChris said:

co-sign, we're coming from South Florida ...

bellanoche said:

Hi Bella! I was thinking the same thing. Would be a shame if those fans who are going and when they get there, Prince may or may not perform. Maybe funkenberry will update more info tonight or tomorrow on this and being that it's a charity event as well, you just never know. Guess everyone will just have to wait for any updated or extra info.
