Hmm, all good points.

But all I can say is... Don't talk about it, Banks. BE about it!

Wow. That's a dedicated trip. Dress warm. No. Warmer.

I'm sure there will be get-togethers planned in the "concerts" forum.

And buy trip insurance. Because a midwest blizzard is no joke. You could get stranded in LA (or the artists could), unable to even make it to Minneapolis.

Hell yeah, I'm going only because it's home so a double duty trip funk inspired. Minnesota winters are unpredictable and harsh. Damn I miss home.

$150 gets you what?? It's standing room only, sounds like the band is doing an appearance the day before for a signing or something, so what would come with the VIP tickets that would make it the way to go? Other than making a good donation for the cause of course.

Sorry, that's the only information I was given. I do know that there are tables on the uppler level, so possibly the 150.00 will get you a seat at one of those. An official announcement is supposed to be made before they go on sale. Good luck!

Wish I could attend this! You all who are able to attend--please let us know the details!

VIP Tickets include red carpet entrance and catered reception with the band.

I hope to get their signatures on my purple vinyl Purple Rain LP

Tickets for A Benefit 2 Celebrate Life featuring The Revolution go on sale Monday at noon! VIP tickets are $150, General Admission is $65 and there is a very limited amount of tickets for $40.

VIP Tickets include red carpet entrance and catered reception with the band.

Don't miss your chance to see Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Brown Mark, Dr. Fink and Bobby Z reunite as The Revolution and help benefit heart-health awareness.
