Sing It Y'all....When Will We Be Paid, for the concert I never showed up for ???
Have the decency of making an apology now that there IS an official website. The least you should expect in return for our membership fee!!!"Baby, have I got enough class?" Answer....No!!!

some of us get lucky when it comes to prince

like the 8 soundchecks i went to during the ONA tour, the front row seats i got through the club, meeting him at an after-party during the Musicology tour or him moving to Vegas during my last 8 months of employment there

others get unlucky i guess, but i would never hold that against him

his Lovesexy/Black Album era practically saved my life

i can almost guarantee that your $77 will not be wasted because he knows what it is going to take to get us to throw down another $77 for another year next March

those that ordered first. If I remember the npgmc sent emails clarifying that seating was based on a first come first served basis

xlr8r said:

I am cracking up



some folks are really emotionally wounded by the NPG huh

just a question for former npgmc members: how many priority tickets could you buy for a show? just one? or more?

If memory serves me, you could buy up to a max of 2 but you had take photo ID, credit card you used to pay for tkts etc, show up on the night and then and only then would you get your tkts. You then had to go straight in and grab your seat.

I personally loved these benefits and would love it if the lotusflower site replicates this type of thing. It was also a bonus not to have to pay rip off Ticketmaster fees.

You(re not wrong about Ticketbastards....

I'm just a bit worried about P's definition of a "true" fan.....one with money??

In the good ol' days, "true" fans queued for hours to get tickets.

Now you just have to switch on the computer and whip out the credit card...the times they are a changin'.....

Vinniecent said:

it depended on the venue where it was single purchase(in some cases)...i've been able to get 2 at once

xlr8r said:

What is that supposed to mean...??? This is an example of the snobbery and bullying we are discussing in this thread. I exspressed an opinion,and thats all!!

TheDancer said:

It means" you are clearly acting overly upset and need to rest. Look at what, and more importantly, "how" you typed your comments. It has nothing to do with this so called "snobbery."

xlr8r said:

"Acting overly upset", you are the one who needs some rest my friend, as you seem quite delusional.Some 50,000 fans were left high and dry in Ireland without so much as an explanation from Prince. That is a fact, not an over reaction.Before we part with more hard earned money for membership to this website, as fans we deserve better and that is my observation.

TheDancer said:

Artists cancel concerts all the time. So:

Don't join. Don't ever buy Prince product again. But don't keep up with this anger a year later demanding shit.

And if it was so traumatic, Id have changed my avie to something non-Prince by now.

TheDancer said:

they told you to go to bed, three words, you call them a bully then you post all this. and boo hoo about them 50,000 fans. all of them got dogged and you're the last one up in here on a Prince site complainin that you deserve an explanation :worlds,smallest,violin:

PEJ said:

"boohoo about those 50,000 fans"?
I'm speechless for once. What a truely unpleasant person.
Can't believe you just said that on Prince.org.
Do u realize how many international orgers lost a lot of money on that?
Disgusting. Hope karma gets you.

I don't know if it'll be considered bullying, but I'll be doing a lot of this -->

Fair warning.

Rorywan said:

I'm not exactly clear on what concert you guys are talking about but was it a music festival with lots of other acts? or just a Prince concert? if it was a festival then your whole "50,000 fans" arguement goes right out the window. Just because someone doesn't have a ton of sympathy over something like this does not make them an unpleasant person, it just makes then unsympathetic to the issue...but for you to wish bad Karma (that is what you implied) on someone...well now THAT is an unpleasant person.
good one.

TheDancer said:

yeah? and then xlr8r exspressed his/her opion....so? it's not bullying or snobbery! please stop it with that. I mean are we adults here or are we children? When you post on a message board be prepaired for a response to your response and 9 times outta 10 it ain't gonna be what you wanna hear. Take it and grow from it or let the words roll off like water on a duck's back.
none of this is THAT important in the grand scheme of things.

One off gig in Dublin. 50K+ tickets sold last summer. canceled with no warning or apology. I live in dublin so it wasn't huge for me. But thousands of fans had booked flights accomodation etc. to say what Pej said is just plain nasty.
talk about showing true colours. And I didn't wish bad karma on someone, I said I hope karma gets them, that works both ways. You do something wrong, then karma follows. Unbelievable. Don't ever visit ireland PEJ.

Rorywan said:

so it was a Prince gig....with no other acts?
well...you certainly aren't wishing Good karma gets him? right?

Shorty said:

Prince, Croke Park. Huge gig, following 21 Nights in london. 50K+ tickets sold.
50K+ upset fans. No apology. I didn't bring this up in this thread by the way, before I'm jumped on! Yes I know it was last summer, yes I know a lot of people were hurt... But as PEJ says Boohoo! to all of you??!!


Nice..

Rorywan said:

you are not answering my question. was the Croke park gig a solo prince concert or a music festival type thing with lots of other acts?
