I just received email from PP regarding putting down a $100 deposit for Celebration 2018 tickets already.

They posted that deposits will be accepted for a limited time June 1-June 14 and only available for 2017 attendees.

No VIP or General tracks listed, only Track 1 or Track 2. I am sure they will spring that one on us at a later date.

How many of you, 2017 Celebrants will partake in next year's event?

Oh yes, they are adding a $30 facility fee to the $100 deposit too.....

that is awesome but sucks for those that couldnt go 2017 why not give first timers a chance to go and pay like that smh

I can't imagine them declining people who didn't go to this year's Celebration. Sounds to me as if they're giving "first dibs" on those people (which most concerts and events do anyway).

Think of it as a pre-sale before the public sale.

"We are pleased to announce that Celebration 2018 will take place between April 19-22, 2018 at Prince's iconic home and creative sanctuary, Paisley Park. Celebration 2017 attendees will have exclusive access to pre-sale tickets beginning June 1st. Past attendees will receive an email from Paisley Park on June 1st with a buy-link to reserve a comparable ticket for 2018. Celebration tickets will require a $100 deposit and VIP Celebration tickets, $200. Details regarding general on-sale for Celebration 2018 tickets will be released in time. Fans interested in attending Celebration 2018 who did not attend this year are encouraged to stay tuned for updates, communicated via Paisley Park's official social media channels."

thank you Se7en...I did not receive the email with the choice of VIP or Gen, but then again, I was late on VIP. Pre-sale is all

I'll be going next year too. I bought GA tickets this year and that was what my email was for to buy for next year. I'm assuming people who bought VIP will get the VIP presale email.

I won't be missing this next year (won't be overseas, therefore will absolutely be at PP!). But, do think it's strange that GA can only go as GA and VIP as VIP (unless I'm reading that wrong) - should give them option to do either/or if they want to experience VIP this time.

Just out of curiosity, are people only able to buy one deposit ? ...you knwo, just curious

I think you are right about the GA doing GA and VIP doing VIP, but for this presale only. We could wait until all tickets are released and then just buy VIP.

It does allow me to buy multiple deposits. Up to 50.

I went to the celebration but I have yet to receive an email. My friends already received theirs.Anyone know how much the actual tickets will be?

thank you!

Mine too. I wanted to do VIP tickets this time. I emailed them and they told me I would have to wait until the VIP tickets are for sale, so I can't put down the deposit. I ended up putting down a deposit for GA. Do you guys think I should stick with the GA or VIP?

Yes -- I had a VIP pass for Celebration 2017, and I received an email inviting me to pay a $200 deposit for VIP next year. (Actually, if you click the link to pay, there's a $30 "facility fee" added on, making it $230 total.) No option to chose GA instead.

Is the deposit refundable?

Anyway, I did VIP last year and didn't regret paying the extra $500.

Right. My cost was $130 for GA. I see they have changed the crazy schedule times a little bit, but still not what I would want.

Did anyone notice that they extended the deposit dealine till 6/16? wonder whats going on?

My guess is take up is low. Without details of content, people don't want to commit, particularly those coming from overseas, which was the majority this year.

Did everyone who when this year get the further email saying they were looking to improving things? Makes me think take up on the pre sale deposit was very low. Not surprised. No confirmation of cost, content or track options (which means those traveling far can't plan).

Yes, I got that email too. They did list track times though. You didn't get the option to pick which one yet with preorder though. I definitely want Track 1. Also looking forward to the concert series they were talking about for this fall. Hopefully it's not just local bands, since they said it was going to be geared more towards locals. They tried that once before and it didn't turn out too well.
