Here's my email from the Music Club:

Hello

PEACE,

$100?


:O

A member who was not lucky enough to get tickets would have to pay $700 plus whatever daily admission costs to attend the celebration. I've tried to be objective about this whole thing, but this is not right. Obviously, they have extra room or they would not be selling extra tickets; therefore, members who are on the wait list should be permitted to purchase week passes rather than be extorted by NPGMC. I thought the focus of the Celebration was on the fans and not money. I'm disapointed.

Since the $100 ticket is to be sold on a space available basis only, they can't determine how much space will be available until they see how many pass holders are in attendance.

Of course moving the Orpheum show back to Paisley Park throws that whole theory about "limited space" out the window.

Mhm mhm mhm (shaking head back and forth).

$40.00 or $50.00 each night is plenty and lots of people will show up ...


It's easier to get a camel thru the eye of a needle than a rich man into the kingdom of heaven ...

"Tickets are being refunded through Ticketmaster at (651) 989-5151 or the Orpheum at (651) 339-7007."

See:

The $100 a night tickets are probably set so high to discourage casual fans from going.

Apparently, Paisley does't want the $7 a head local crowd showing up for the celebration.

Sounds pretty shitty.
