I heard that people have travelled quite far for a show this weekend, so for their sake, I sure hope it happens.

I was downtown yesterday in my P shirt and a guy commented on it saying he had flyers in his car for tonight and that doors were at 11 which I remembered because it's slightly later than the usual 9. I asked if it was one of the $30 things and he said yeah. No official tweet means it's either not happening or is going to be SUPER small if it is actually happening.

I didn't know they still made actual flyers for these, the only one I remeber was from last summer's King concert at pp..

My friend just drove by...nothing going on tonight.

So #purplearmy, we made the drive tonight. Upon arriving, had some great conversations with some fellow fans (Erica and Shawna!). And after a while, a member of his staff came over to let us know there was no show tonight. And then he smiled and said: "But the weekend isn't over!" [Edited 6/6/15 21:29pm]

I sure hope so for all the fans that travelled from far away!!!!!

Thanks so much for the update I almost drove by but then the rain started to pour so decided against it...

Sax player on flight to mpls right now

where do you see this?

Twitter

link?

So fans have to search for a sax player's tweets to try and determine if a show is happening now?

Prince and his crew don't tweet anything confirming or denying something happening at Paisley this weekend.

First of all, you listen. Why are you defensive? No one attacked you. Not every fan is on twitter or follows this sax player. Glad you're on your way to MPLS. Hope a show happens...

.

Prince will keep on playing such games as long as fans keep jumping through hoops.

If fans were to boycott and no one showed up one night, you think Prince might start announcing events and communicating more clearly?

Still hoping but time is flying by fast...

Every time there has been something going on at Paisley Park, the tweet has come from the @Prince3EG account and has been very specific on when and how much. It has always been announced when there is an event open to the public. They have NEVER tweeted out that something isn't going on. All they tweeted this week was "Don't miss another hot summer weekend of Funknroll at Paisley Park." Where do you get that it was this weekend? If you or anyone chose to travel here thinking there would be something going on, without official confirmation, then that's on you or them and not Prince.

It's funny how you're attacking me. I'm not in mpls... couldn't be bothered to go (without a confirmed show). It's interesting the levels people tend to go to defending Prince. Hello? between Prince's tweet this week and Dr. Funkenberry's tweet: "something is happening this weekend" - can you understand how some fans were lead to believe something would be happening at Paisley? Why can't Prince's people say, hey everyone - nothing is happening this weekend?? Isn't that called consideration?

You're taking what I'm saying the wrong way. I am not attacking you. I can understand how some fans took what Funkenberry said as confirmation that something was going on this weekend. He did delete the tweet earlier this week, though. Like I was saying, if there is something going on @Prince3EG will tweet about the details. No tweet=Nothing going on. As far as Prince knowing people were flying/driving long distance, how would he know that? I'm pretty sure he doesn't bother himself with those matters. We all know how Prince is.

I just feel bad for the people that flew all the way from the UK (as well as people from all over the US) in hopes to make it to PP, according to twitter some are still outside pp waiting

I know that Prince is certainly aware that some fans may/will travel to see him perform.

Also, one of his people could have responded to info here or on twitter that people were traveling to Paisley this weekend.

Anybody who flies all the way from the UK without a confirmed concert (and a ticket in hand) has no cause for complaint, knowing Prince as we all surely do by now.

Common sense is your friend.

you also have another thread that someone started that reported the tweet said "this weekend" so that should have been deleted in my opinion

Why the hell would anyone do this? Fly thousands of miles hoping someone who has not announced a show will somehow decide to play one ......and only in the particular city they want him to play in at the time. Crazy ....What other artist has this kind of ridiculous expectation placed upon them? NONE

What's so difficult to comprehend? The tweets lead some fans to think something was going down.

.

Prince's tweet basically said get ready for "another weekend" at Paisley. Knowing that a show had just ocurred on Monday, it's understandable that some people perceived that as a reference to the coming weekend.

.

"Only in the particular city they want him to play in"? Uh, Prince's message referred specifically to Paisley Park, which evidently is still located in Chanhassen.
