I know for a fact that that price won't fly in the heart of America. Folks, Prince fans for life, either don't have that type of $$ or they just won't spend it...period. agreed !!!  Here is your reality check..everytime Prince decides to plug and play you will not be able to attend, period. There will be other opportunities for all in the not so distant future...so instead of complaining wait patiently for the post show report like 99% of the orgers here-myself included... 1 over Jordan...the greatest since | |

So are tickets sold out yet?
I was at jury duty all day  and couldn't follow the action...The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Anx said: i wouldn't pay over fifty dollars to see prince in a general admission club setting (well, okay, other than the aftershow i paid seventy five bucks for, but that's different, because...it just IS!) - if i'm paying good money, i want to at least know i have a seat that is MINE that other people won't try to scam on or take over or weasel me out of. three hundred bucks for the way people behave at a general admission show is just masochism.

I GA.as i am sure many TALL PEOPLE do. 
i can't complain though - whenever i'm at a GA prince gig, all the chicago freaks are up at the front and they've always been really sweet about letting me be part of the group. i never get hassled at those shows...except, of course, for the DRUNKEN WHALE TAIL.  | |

Good, I hope it's half empty. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

It's two little club shows - not a tour. Members get early entry, "so get there early!". Where is the history of Prince screwing over his fans? Oh wait, I'm sorry - there isn't one!  | |

I can't speak for anyone but I do not feel like Prince is screwing me over. If he does an amazing show with some of those unreleased tracks they asked about at the Club, I will be thrilled to say I was there. If it's the same setlist as the Purple Ticket Party, I still won't be disappointed because I never am with Prince live. Plus, I am going to be with fans and friends of mine from all over the world as well as hanging with two of the most beautiful souls on the planet and taking a well deserved real vacation for the first time ever. You can find positive or negative in anything if you choose to do so. | |

i'm wondering if prince is signing a deal to be a regular vegas performer. the email that was sent out says this will surely be the first of many 3121 performances. there's also been talk about prince opening up a vegas club called 3121 (this is actually just a dub for the Empire, the place he's playing this month).
the email did not mention an upcoming tour, it simply said the first of many 3121 performances. we of course assumed that meant a tour but what if it just means exactly what it says..."the first of many 3121 performances." if the club is called 3121, any performance inside would be a "3121 performance." just an idea that popped into my head. take it for what its worth. | |

I am not feelin' that at all. I've never been to Las Vegas b/c I have no desire to go there--I just don't think I'd enjoy it... I really don't want to make a "pilgrimage" to LV to see Prince for the 3121 "tour" but I do want to see him in concert again... Now if he opens a 3121 club in NYC, that'd be cool.  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Prince has moved to number 1482! I was charmed by the new European car bumper sticker offered in the NPG store as a little present for a friend. The price for this small and flat gadget is $3,12 (probably some mister or mistress NPG smarty pants forgot a 1 at the end and placed the comma wrong) and the price for shipping  of this little gem to Europe is $14,82  . Of course I immediatelly payed $17,94  : compared to the concert tickets this is a real bargain!  I feel so lucky I am able to afford this, I am sure you all would feel the same when you could afford it and then it really is worth it  , of course I will give an elaborate review of the sticker when I receive it:  . Aren’t we lucky Europeans!? 
 Cheerz,

You're right, it'd be lame...I only meant it half-heartedly, because I'm lazy and don't want to go to Las Vegas, so it'd be cooler for ME if I could just hop on a subway to see Prince.
I hope he just does a regular tour--if he does the club thing then I feel like there's more of a risk that you go there on x weekend and are told, "oh we're sorry, Prince isn't in Las Vegas this weekend and won't be performing at the club. But the GCS show starts at 8pm..." The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found.

For all you jokers out there who keep moaning that thsese prices are what everyone in Vegas charges for these shows etc...blah blah blah
Well, have a look at these acts that are playing Vegas on the same Memorial Day weekend. Note: I stole this from a opost of Gsh at Housequake who stole the info from another lovely lady. Here's his post: " Madonna @ MGM -$75 to $375 - Assigned seats Barry Manilow @ Hilton - $95-$225 - Assigned seats Celine Dion @ Caesars $79.55 - $204.55 - Assigned seats And just for a giggle... Sean Paul @ Mandalay Bay - $51.70 - Assigned seats Ice Cube @ HOB - $30.00 - General Admission. Prince @ Empire Ballroom - $312.01 - stand in hot sun for hours in hopes to get a decent location up front." When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

STFU Brett!!! Well, have a look at these acts that are playing Vegas on the same Memorial Day weekend.

Prince @ Empire Ballroom - $312.01 - stand in hot sun for hours in hopes to get a decent location up front."
Seriously, I really don't care about all of this. If he does something spectacular, then I'll be glad I was there. If he doesn't, I'll be with a bunch of friends so it'll still be worth it to me. | |

Not only in the hot sun...and trust me, it will be hot...but in a crappy ass strip mall parking lot! haha It's funny, because they have really made the place nice inside since the Club Utopia days (where, as a matter of fact Prince did some after after hours show YEARS back)..but it's still in that nasty area E
