I'd just love to go to this!!!!!! But I have to admit, I'd rather go to a bigger family-organized gathering and have The Revolution perform there too!

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

I'm still mad at myself for never having made the trek to the Park. Figure this might be the time to do it. If not now then when? Well the trek to Minneapolis at least and First ave

You must be one of the "Family & Friends" ticket-buyers because not even the public pre-sale tickets go live till tomorrow.

Did you get a VIP pass?

The only tickets on sale right now as far as I know are for family & friends ("Artist Presale").

No just the regular $65 ticket on sale with "Family & friends" pre-sale code.

I'm praying I get tickets. I need this desperately. I was planning to go to PP in August, even if the public memorial doesn't happen because I need the closure and the 16 hour drive might do me some good.

Sweet smile I'll be at work cleaning houses tomorrow starting at 8, but I'll be damned if I won't bring my debit card and phone in with me with an alarm set for 9:58am. I'm ready to pounce.

So was it an ego problem or just timing problem?

Why couldnt all the bands have done one big event at paisley park in june like his celebration events. If planning was an issue could have done it next 4/21/17 or 06/07/17.

It's ok. I always wanted to see The Revolution at First Avenue but in my dreams it was with Prince too.

Gosh I hope I get tickets b4 it's sold out. I've had bad luck trying to get tickets the last couple events I've wanted to attend. I'm still not sure how I feel about it w/o Prince but I'm afraid I'll regret it if I don't go.

Will they also be performing in the memorial/tribute that is allegedly being planned for August by the PRN Estate? Speaking of which, does anyone have any details on the alleged tribute, like, say, a date? Thanks in advance for your response.

I hope they'll live stream it.

This. So many band are livestreaming concerts these days. (We call it 'couch tour.') They could charge $25--make it a chartiable donation--and get a TON of eyeballs on it. I hope they will do this!

yeahthat

It seems like easy money. Wouldn't live nation, or whoever, do all the heavy lifting to get it live streamed? I would imagine this could make tons of money if they market it right; pay-per-view event, etc. Most of the public only really knows Prince - with The Revolution. They could make a killing - The Revolution says one last epic goodbye to its beloved Prince, etc...

Most likely a Timing problem. People still have lives and families and business and live in different parts of the world/nation. I would prefer they take the time and not rush it.
That is one thing about the BET tribute. That you can tell Sheila E wanted to do more and with more of the other protege/bands but timing, and how many could she fit up on that stage anyway. But it was still a rush job.

I don't think they could have just usurped Paisley Park to have tribute shows.

Note, I am NOT asking for the presale code here. I'm just wondering if anyone has received the code from the link in the OP yet. It's less than two hours until the presale, and I haven't received an email from them yet.

I don't think it is ego. They were pretty tight as a unit and also if they cross eras with others who plays on what. My friend worked security at their Hartford 80's show for PR and said they were the nicest group of professional musicians he met and actually after not liking Prince changed up and went and bought PR Now Van Halen... U don't even wanna know what backstage was like ...

U know what's sad I can't be there and if this is released in any form people will just say it's a cash grab... If u r familiar with W&L they are doing just fine professionally and I think r doing this out of respect. Hope it streams

I have not received it either. I'm checking my email every few minutes and waiting with bated breath. I'm guessing they'll probably send it out right before, asked to not let it spread too much to other people that didn't subscribe.
