He might do more ;p looks like Dakota was booked Sunday and Monday too.. Keep your 3rd ear open ;p

I agree - I suspect there will be more.

Even the talk of PP parties again, etc... suggests that he wants to do more stuff locally this year (as well as a tour, it seems).

Would love to be there if I could. I'm glad he's playing his home town again though - to everyone that is going, have fun!!!

Check out the video report by CBS Minnesota about the ticket sales:

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Even if you’ve seen Prince, you’ve likely never seen him like this.

On Tuesday morning, Prince announced he’ll do “open rehearsals” at the Dakota Jazz Club in downtown Minneapolis as part of prepping for an upcoming tour.

That means fans get to see him basically practicing with a concert feel. Tickets are already sold out.

Wednesday night’s show is called “Soundcheck,” Thursday night’s is “Jam” and Friday is listed as a “Surprise.”

The owner of the Dakota said it’s the biggest headliner to ever play at the club.

For the price of $80, Jake Nyberg gets a seat on Wednesday night.

“If you know a thing about music, or even if you don’t, he’s a bucket list musician for everybody,” Nyberg said.

Dakota Jazz Club owner Lowell Pickett says Prince will be trying out his newest drummer.

“We were same the year in high school,” said Dakota Jazz Club technical director Craig Ecklund. “He was a Central guy, I was a Washburn guy. We knew there was this killer guitar player out of Central High School.”

Picket says Prince wanted to play at the Dakota because it’s a place he’s frequented in the past himself.

Interested in finding a ticket even though they’re sold out? Craigslist has them going anywhere from $400 to $1,000.

$250 Andy Allo show surprise friday? anyone up for it?

Oh but that was just a guess...nothing been confirmed 4 friday which is why it's still called a SURPRISE

Too bad it's on such a short notice ... would love to go there

‏@FOX9MorningNews

@mauryglover Hey Maury, want to do a phoner this morning to talk about what happened last night? We could do it at 9. Call us.

@mauryglover

Ok. Here's something I never thought I'd write. Just got off stage from a private concert from Prince. Wow! Story at 9. #princeatdakota

So I'm hoping there's a report on this surprise preview 4 the Fox9 new/screw.

I just saw the report on the Fox9 morning news thru the live stream. Perhaps more later?:

Looking forward to the reports, and wishing i could be there

Ditto.

I'm sorry to be such a whiner yesterday but it really sucks to have no way of getting to these shows when they're right in my backyard. I've been begging Prince to play here again for years. I guess what would make me feel better is knowing that some of you guys know the feeling (and also knowing that some great bootleggers will be recording these shows).

I could only afford tix to one show so I paid my money and took my chances on 2morrow nights Thursday "jam". I'm hoping it really is a more aftershow vibe as advertised , with lesser known songs, a lot of guitar! Perhaps Empty Room, Love Thy Will Be Done.... I dunno.... I'm thinking Friday might be more of a run through of a "concert" type show with more of the hits... if my predictions are true i'll be happy with thursday.... I've seen prince so many times I'm OK if I don't hear Purple Rain or Kiss, though if he plays em, thats fine too.... just really hoping for the deepr cuts!! haha... we will see... never know with Prince!

Seriously stop whining. Get down to the venue & do the work. If I was there and didn't have a ticket I'd still be stoked I'd have 3 cracks at getting in. I didn't have a ticket for the Conga Room show but was able to get one last minute. It helps if it's just you going.

I already said I was through whining.

The venue doesn't allow you in if you aren't the one who bought the ticket.
I was going to go with someone else.
I am a broke kid who lacks the money to pay for the scalper prices.
So yes, I am through whining and am now just happy that something cool is happening in Princeland even if I will have to miss out.

I have a feeling you will have more opportunities to check P out in MPLS. He seems to be digging in for a bit.

interview on tv just on. nothing new. girls excited and Ida threw a pillow in the air

Interview was nice, but underwhelming.

I had to laugh at how the girls said Prince found them (paraphrasing) through YouTube and MySpace. I thought Prince hates the internet and doesn't go online.

Maury Glover's (Ch 9 reporter) remark about how Prince repeated, once again, after he'd finished jamming, the tired chestnut about being 'so funky he can't sleep with himself' was a groaner. Prince is a witty, funny guy...he should just be spontaneous, and stop the overused, scripted 'witticisms'.

The girls seem nice. I really like Hannah. Good luck to them. I also loved that yellow couch.
