Why doesn't NPGMC Announce Tour Dates?

What is the purpose of the club (albeit cheap as it is this year) if they are not going to announce all dates and locations that Prince is going to perform? I understand he just announced a gig in Hawaii, so apparently it was last minute, I guess. But I mean, wtf? Is he just that anxious to perform that he's not thinking abou the club members? Or is this spot in Hawaii really small that it wouldn't be worth the announcement? And again...what kind of fucking tour is this? Some random...hey I think I'll play here today shit or what?

Prince is supposedly playing in Hawaii this Thursday...not a peep about it at the club...maybe it's a hit and run thing?

I just finished Alex Hahn's book (took me a day and half, read it str8 through). Based on what I read about his organisation now, I suspect that he probably doesn't have any staff to update the website while he's out on tour.

They are currently still in discussion with the dates for the whole tour. Nothing has been confirmed just yet because they are currently putting together the package.

Please be patient. Its not as if you're all going anywhere!!

Sit tight...He's coming...

That's one thing - but you can actually buy the tix for Hawaii. Which means there's quite nothing unsure about it, is it?

It's the least you'd expect: Confirmed tour dates on the official site. You can argue about what to demand or not but come on... rolleyes

Read Possessed to get an inside look (Alan Leeds) as to how spur-of-the-moment and chaotic Prince can make a "Tour".

What a nightmare.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I remember in 1988.. a paper note attached to the door of the Boston Orpheum read on the first day of the Lovesexy concert that the show had been moved 40+ miles away to Worcester. The newpapers captured photos of fans who were bawling at the door when they found out and were stuck with no way to get there. One radio DJ who was at the show later learned that the large Lovesexy set simply wouldn't fit into the theater. That was chaotic.

They DO announce tour dates.

But if you're expecting a great big comprehensive list of
when and where he's playing on the entire tour... you must
be a newbie! Prince has always toured at very short notice,
practically making it up as he goes along. It's way too early
for any kind of tour date list anyway since he ain't doing a
proper world tour until 2004.

Yes I forgot I am a baby by Prince fan standards. This is my first year in NGPMC but I saw Prince every year he toured in my hometown from 96-2002. I always heard the dates at the last minute but I just assumed club members knew in advance, that's all.

I know he does things spur of the moment...I like that... but I didn't realize it was THIS spur!
