see, it does pay to become a member, as posted by the npgmc mods:

it is a bummer that this isn't something offered to club members...can you imagine how many lucky people aren't members, or may just happen to pick up the CD, not aware of the ticket? LOL

NPGMC members will not be xcluded. Plans are in the worx now but we will definitely have something special set aside just 4 members.

all their empty and unfulfilled promises to it's memebers is a perk?

get over it and enjoy the ride

So, what's the new perk?

hopefully we will find out shortly. when i commented about the chance of some of the purple tix getting into the hands of casual listerns/non-fans, they responded and said they were planning something special for members. my guess at this point, and it is only a guess, is probably a paisley park celebration.

DON'T say that or I will literally explode!

ahh, ok.

txladykat said:

the celebrations have always happened in the summer, correct???

jaynoonan said:

yep right around my bday too

If they were 2 be a Celebration do u think he would have it at his house in L.A., instead of Paisley Park?

I might just go to that if it was.

I don't care where it's at. All I want is some advance notice!!!

A couple of months notice for us non-us residents would be handy for any celebration type events. Not holding my breath though.

Priority tickets for teh upcomin 3121 tour I hope.

I just pray that this time they dont balls up and leave me fratically going through ticket master at the last moment again

they did that during musicology...so that isnt a new perk

txladykat said:

Ah but we are the ones that have decided its a new perk...they just said a perk

besides,if it works this time then it'll be a new perk for me

txladykat said:

thanx for posting that info for us txladykat! good to know. My guess is the something special for the npgmc memebers would be the same prize as the purple ticket contest but perhaps a drawing for just members, with perhaps many member winners. just a thought though.

There are a lot of great benefits to being a member. I quess it is all about your perspective. I would still pay even if it was 25 per year like it use to be, for the presale tickets alone!

well these little tamar (w/ special guest prince) shows are also a perk. paying 31.21 (no taxes or fees either) as opposed to $50 at ticketmaster (w taxes and fees)

Somebody asked the price of gigs over the years so I dug out my tickets (unfortunately anything older that D&P are at my other house)

D&P Tour = £19.50
Act II = £22
Gold Experience Live = £25
New Power Soul = £25
ONA= £55

Thats just in England though

Knowing the club, members will be able to buy the album for download in the next week or so..... Then we can all go buy it again on the 21st
