Is that really it?

Just wondering now that people are receiving their copies of ONA live if that is it for 2002 membership quota?

Probably. Do you want a hug as well? Here you go hug

Sorry, I just don't know what more to say to people's complaints about the club. I'm satisfied, but understand that many people aren't. Make your dissatisfaction heard next year by keeping your $100 in your pocket. I'll consider what is being offered before I give mine.

Cheers!

It might be. I'm still hoping for a DVD...but if that doesn't happen, I'm hoping it will at least be offered for sale at a discounted price.

biggrin

I think the best thing NPGMC could do to keep its existing membership after this disappointing year would be to offer the next year's membership at a 25% discount. If he did something like that, I'd take a chance on another year - and heck, it's not like the price would drop for the new members who could very well join by way of word-of-mouth from existing members who had been done right by Prince.

But we're talking about someone who gets by on technicalities and word puzzles and calls it "business", so I'm just typing to keep my fingers fit, I guess.

So:
ONA + ONALive = $100 = £70
i think the only way of making amends is 25% discount for next year. If he does that atleast it means he knows he has made an effort to recify the failings for this year.
Wow am I disappointed...
I feel like I have been ripped off by a close friend or family member.

At the age of 44, after releasing a CD of new material, putting together a 3 CD set of high quality live recordings, and touring North America, Europe, and Japan, this has been an extremely busy year for Prince, and I doubt that he'll feel that he needs to "rectify the failings for this year." He's going to want to take it easy in 2003. And you're hoping that he'll do MORE?? Let's hear about how much you have done this year. no no no!

There's a cryptic mention of DVDs in the latest bit of Freedom 'philosophy' on the NPGMC web site. Details in an 'emale' from the club - see 'Freedom Pt.2' thread for info.

THAT HAS GOTTA B THE STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD ON THESE PAGES...

FYI (geminito) THIS YEAR I HAVE COMPLETED 2 FEATURE-FILM SCREEN PLAYS ... AND HAVE YET TO GET A SINGLE cent NEVER MIND $1'000'S

geminito mayb u have money to burn and don't care less about the tiny amount of 'disposable' income u have for entertainment but this year's NPG is a con.
SW if he tours... i paid for my ticket... not thru NPG as the price was too high ... this is the real world

$100 for ONA + ONALive is a con... that is all I have to show for this year's membership.

I am now in the position that I will have to sell some more of my prince collection to fund 2003 membership...

Well, Persian, I didn't defend the $100 price tag... But I really don't think that Prince is going to be sitting at home on Christmas day thinking, "Gee, I really didn't do enough for my fans this year." The price of the club is still up for debate, and I really have no idea how much it costs to send a box set to each person (I don't think the ONA CD cost too much to ship).

And congrats on the screen plays, Persian. If they ever get major release, think of the ridiculous ticket price for a movie these days and lower the price of tickets for your movies so that more of your fans can afford to go.

And I'm glad I could provide you with the "stupidest thing ... ever heard on these pages." Selling your existing Prince stuff in order to earn membership for 2003 is the stupidest thing I have ever "heard" on these pages. Get back to work and sell those scripts. Sure, it's work, but I think you can do it.
