With all the buzz lately the NPGMC is gaining a lot of new members.

I did a check just now and it would seem that they gained about 11,000 new members in the last month. See http://www.prince.org/msg/13/73672 for the details from about a month ago.

The total number of members now stands at 38,720. That is roughly 11,000 new members since febuary the 19th. That's an average of 333.33 new members a day. Seems like they made $ 275,000 in a month or so. I know I've had worst months than that

PS For all you statistic lovers out there the avarage username is 7.48 characters long (I know I have to much time on my hands )

That's because the membership cost is cheaper then Ticketmaster fees. All this means is that our member only seats may not be so great this time around.

DAMNIT!!! I knew I did wrong... my name only has seven characters. Should've added another half of a letter. Maybe one 'v' of a 'w'.

Wow! Do you have to have a credit card to join it? I don't.

Add 2 more because my wife joined so we could get extra tickets and my sister in law joined too.

Only 38720 members, but remember each member can purchase 2 tickets...so that's 77440 people who can *participate* in the presale.

And they are...the entire floor sections are now selling out. They even added side seats in Detroit. I hope they use seniority when passing out tickets because with the memberships costing so little smart consumers are buying a membership and saving ticketmaster fees for a wash. The only problem is that this means us long time members aren't going to get as good of seats. But I ain't frontin' as I don't need front row or anything I just hope I'm not in the back of the floor seats because I hate that. I would much rather be in the front rows of the elevated seats then the backof the floor seats.

A valid point. Instead of some 'lottery' type system, where u get what you're given, it would be nice 2 think that members who have been with NPGMC the full term would get the top seats, those that have been members from the re-launch would get decent/good floor seats etc etc...

But y'know NPGMC - u like it and lump it. U get what ur given and u'll dig it. Period.

Most of the new sign ups wont even evr use there membership again after the concert is over.They just wanted to tickets for cheap.A real fan would sign up if there was nothing to gain exsept for just likeing prince.

& this thing about not knowing exsactly where your going to be seated b4 you arrive sucks.Cause once your in there the only thing you can do if you dont like where your seated is leave & then you throw your money down the drain completely.I know where ill be seated since i got my tickets from ticketmaster.com...But they suck,There in the balcony on the 3rd level.
