The estate dropped the ball. It's quite simple. They pre-sold tickets based on a gamble, and now it's bitten them. The fams will blame the City Council members, but it was the estate who put tickets on sale without having zoning approval.

This really is one calamity after another. My heart goes out to everyone who has spent $$$. Hopefully they do the right thing and get this resolved SOON!

I just watched this video... according to what this reporter says, they (city council) are "scrambling" and will be holding a special session tomorrow about parking, traffic etc

Let's hope they get it done. Today would be preferable!

They had zoning approval just not the City Council's approval.

Following @kare11 on Twitter - it now seems that the city is working with PP management to issue some type of permit to accommodate fans "this weekend"...not sure exactly what or when that is, but it's at least progress in the right direction...

No, they had planning commission approval of a zoning request, which zoning request also requires council approval. Hence, until the council approved the request, there was not zoning approval.

That's the least they can do... Issue a temporary permit allowing those who already bought tickets to go on their scheduled tours until PP management and the city counsel straighten this mess out. The best immediate solution IMO.

The official statement from Chanhassen says that there will be another vote on December 20th. It doesn't matter who is to blame. The only thing that matters is that it has been five months and there still have been no memorial or proper send off for the fans. All that we had was that beautiful fence and now that is gone. Sad day for fans, but they can't take Paisley Park away from us. I hope to see many of you at that fence next week.

[b]OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL https://pbs.twimg.com/med...name=large I can't believe Bremner Trust sold tickets knowing that the risk would always fall on those that parted with their money!!

According to Donald Trump, that just makes Bremer Trust smart.

Well that statement doesn't sound like they are going to be issuing anything temporary.

on or BEFORE December 20th it reads. So its not certain that this waits until then. It could happen a LOT sooner. Especially after today and how much pestering I have a feeling the city council has received

"All questions regarding ticket sales should be directed to PRN Music Corporation or Bremer Trust, N.A." Oh, that's great. What's their number? Oh, that's right, they didn't give us one.

If this is true then I am pleased!

.

It's disgraceful that Prince has barely passed and people are already dividing his assets, ripping up Paisley Park, demanding his vault be exploited and leaking tracks!

.

Enough is enough!

.

People need to stop and think.

.

There should be at least a year with no activity. Just reflection and time for all involved to think carefully about how to approach things.

.

The only acceptable activity would be to examine very carefully what Prince was intending to do next. We all know about the HitnRun series and the Live Piano CD. So these should have been the priority after enough time for reflection - research may have revealed plans in motion or even track listings.

.

The last few months have shown many fans, familty members, gold diggers and band members to be exploiting the situation to their own gain - not all, but some!

.

As for the shite coming from Brother Jules - this is a travesty!!!

.

I just hope Prince is in peace!!!

Awful. I'd be seriously upset if I'd made plans & spent a load of cash 2 come from london. Shockingly bad.

I couldnt even imagine booking a trip from London and have these things happen. Hell Im in Texas and I couldnt even do it. Imagine how many people have wasted their money for this

I had hotel and car sorted, but had the finger hovering on the button for the London to MPLS flight. Once I saw the fiasco around the 'official' memorial, safety mode kicked in (eg learnings from London SOTT tour, Blenhiem Palace, Crystal Ball, Lotusflower, Piano and a Mic) and I cancelled.

Same people managing things, same results.

I just watched CBS Minnesota via Twitter and a member of the Chanhassen City Council said that the management company for Paisley Park were told they'd be selling tickets "at their own risk"!! Come on now! The risk quite clearly has fallen on the trusting Prince fans who were unaware of this. If it turns out the management company knew there was a risk all along then that is completely out of order!!!

sad...truly sad

Daylight robbery.

Yep...straight up HEIST! I feel bad for the fans who spent their hard earned money on this.

When things fall apart, they fall apart loudly.

Londell McMillan just stated on his Twitter page that Paisley Park management is working on the fans concerns.

its true and I have a bad feeling that this disarray will continue

I had a feeling it would come down to one side blaming the other when all hell broke loose
