Prince needs to drop asking the audience if it is better to give or recieve because he obviously thinks it is better to recieve. Is he really going to play for 2 and a half hours or more at the first concert and the second? I wouldn't think so. I will never pay twice in one nite.

Strange indeed! I got that email from the NPGmc on 25-10-2002 @ 14:13. Ofcourse I assumed it was sent to every Member. Sorry to hear it wasn't sent to all the members...

Anyway, you are still in time for the pre-sales! It's a good thing we have the .org to get most of the info, right?


peace, newdawn

People, people...

if u dont want to pay 100dollar...then don't go...

if u think that the NPGMusic club is not giving enough value for its money...then think again...cause i know it is good value. and otherwise...dont extend ur membership.

if Prince wanted the money..he could have asked 200 dollar and still easily sold the place out..so stop crying...

Ah! It's good to see that there are still people thinking. I totally agree with you 101 !!!

See you in Nighttown...
peace, newdawn

I'm going to the regular Paris show, only 39$. (have already seen Antwerp show)
Won't pay another 200 $ (for my wife and myself) to see him a couple of hours later again . Anyway I have to go to work in the morning and it is still a +2 hours drive back to Belgium
But deep in my heart , if I had the time and if money didn't matter ...

well a hundred buxs is quite a lot... but let's face it: remember 1988, part van troje? legendary aftershow 3am in front of few peeps? this is a classic! and probably the most well known aftershow in princes career - and 4 me (was not a live witness, but.. u know) the greatest spontanous jamsession ever heard of prince & the band - 4 such a night i would have paid a hell of money 2 c it live... well, maybe, and there is big hope, history will repeat, 4 100 $ iam pretty shure that it will happen something very special and a nite u will never 4get , also think, candy b with him, the dutch crowd is the best and u know, it may become a legendary, very intimate moment!

4 me there is another problem: 2 arrange the journey (not speaking of the money - may cost me 800$ !!! 2 c that show!)it is not that cool, cos if ur coming from a foreign country u need 2 check 4 flights (also rotterdam is no international airport that means u have 2 drive (car/train) 2 amsterdam, another stress and money topic) after 30th!!! and first get the chance 2 get the tixs... so all in all not that easy 4 non dutch peeps... i dunno, still i think this might b a very special one nite alone experience! what do u think ?tell me, and also we have 2 wait and c! i,if in case i can not afford or arrange it, wish all the lucky ones just the best, big pleasure will reach u and enjoy this experience! peaceNbWild!

ps. some other swiss fans planning 2 go? please contact me on this, cheers

There're thieves in the temple tonite!

Hi NPGMC-MEMBERS,

Is there anyone who's willing to sell me their Nighttown tickets, when they are available. Big fam, but not a member so otherwise not a chance I'm afraid...
Mail me! hoinehe@hotmail.com
Yes, I will pay for the drinks - as a favor - in return!
.. Pass the Courvoisier ..

Why do we all of a sudden have to pay for an aftershow?
If the fan club members wouldnot buy the tickets which to me is kind of foolish to pay twice in one nite, than maybe he would get the message? How much money does he want?
Some of my respect for him has gone out the door with this one.

this is not 1988 when they had to pick people from the street to fill up 't paard van troje for the best aftershow ever when tickets were sold for about 15 dollar, this is 2002 where u have to pay 100 dollar to see p short up a ona show to prepare for another 100 dollar gig where he may give a good jam om may just do the same thing as a few hours b4, and everybody wants to pay the 100 dollar.

no were definitly in 2002 now and got a new sign of the times

partyman said:

ah is it? really? like prince said himself and then played PR despite? hey, just kidding, but i duno if in 1988 it was like that (paying 15 dollars and picking up the peeps on the street) i can not imagine that.. always thought and experienced myself that u dutch R great fams and willing 2 wait and queue till u get what u want 2...
so maybe 2002 can bring also some spontanous explosion from this wonderful band!?? somebody say xenophobia?

ps.besides all; what was ur goal with ur reply?

still i think this might b a very special one nite alone experience! what do u think ?tell me,

well u askt 4 a reply, so i told u what i think.

my goal, don't get ure hope up to high 4 a great performance
i've seen 4 aftershows in holland and i'm still eating my hart out 4 not being at the paard, he never came close to that magical night again.

the reason that the show was cheap and not filled to the top was because it was "an aftershow" and that was something p used to do for fun,no message over the p.a. or a pre sale on the internet. it was a secret gig and if u were a true fan u would find out aboud the gig in time.
seems these day's things r more about dollars!

p.s. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying u should stay home. if u get the chance 2 see him, do it!
if i had a c.c. it would be red hot right now from buying ticks 4 all shows.

Hallo NPGMC-Members

I am strongly thinking about going to the 2nd Rotterdam-Concert (Nighttown) on 2.November with my car ..from Austria!(Starting 1.Nov.afternoon)
So I ask if there is anybody from the east of Austria or maybe Hungary WILLING AND ABLE to come with me and share the petrol-costs ??
If so please org-note me until wednesday evening!

Peace,Live4Love&beWild

This is my message to NPGMC to tell them what I feel, I invite all fams who feel the same to get your message accross as well...

Hello NPGMC,

I bought myself two concert passes for the show on November 2nd in Ahoy,
Rotterdam and now I'm hearing rumours that these concert passes will be
useless for the extra concert he will give in Nighttown.

No doubt this 2nd concert will be special (they always are in Holland, I
know that from my own experience: Utrecht, Tivoli back in 1998 was brilliant
and so was Paard van Troje, Den Haag back in 1988) but that's no reason to
change the rules and start calling it an extra concert instead of an
aftershow. I don't fall for that and I feel cheated and I'm sure a lot of
others feel the same.

If the second concert is going be that special, I don't mind if prices would be somewhat higher than normal and we would be charged somewhat more for our own ticket (which
normally would be free) and the normal (also somewhat higher) price for the second one
(for our invitees), but it is ridiculous that members who already have a
concert pass should now order once more via the internet, not having a
guarantee to get one. I'm afraid a lot of members who bought a 2nd november
concertpass will hear this news when it's too late and some of them will be
disappointed on the day of the concert! This is not very good business
thinking. Please tell Prince and/or his business advisers this and take into
account that this will mean that a lot of dutch NPGMC members who maybe will feel
a little bit cheated too, will think trice about renewing their membership...

Somehow I get the feeling that we are paying the price for still being so
much into Prince's music: for example, both concerts in Holland sold out in
20 minutes, The dutch came to the rescue when the Oberhausen concert
(Germany) didn't sell out. "So because of this enthousiasm we will
be able to charge more and get away with it!", I can easily hear someone
think, say or advise. That may seem good business thinking on the short run,
but is in fact very poor business thinking in the long run, since it will
definitely cost fams. And from an ethical viewpoint I also think it's
not a very good idea: it's wrong. It's cheating.

Please listen to the fams. And think of a different way to market "the second show that night".
There's still time to do so...

Regards,

Kevwe Scott-Emuakpor a.k.a. mr.funkfunk

...who wants the funk to be with y'all... always
(but doesn't feel too funky at this particular moment)

I think the reason(s) is (are) quit simple.
There are to many clubmembers in Holland, so there has to be a limit. In the US you paid $100 for the normal show and maximum price for Europe is about $60. So maybe they never planned to play aftershows. And i remember the tickets for the UK concerts were more expensive than the rest.

DON'T FUDGE WITH THE DUTCH!!!

PRINCE: YOU DISMEMBERED ME...

thejam1999 said:

That, plus half of Europe seems to come this way. I know a lot of people from Holland go to other countries as well, but there the maximum is around 600 people. Here it's double.



Max Europe was $125. Some of $100. And also from $34-39.



He played 3 aftershows, surprisingly enough in the cities where the prices were among the highest.

I can't understand why all the complaining. B glad he comes 2 ur country often. I Am from Australia. Id pay 500 dollars 2 see any kind of show from P.

Why complaining ?? Be glad Prince come to Nighttown for a aftershow !! If you think the price is too high, DON'T COME !!! Then you make another NPGMC member very happy,

See Ya All at Ahoy and Nightown saturdaynight,

Love4OneAnother, Be Wild

It's going 2 b special anyway.. The final concert of the European ONA Tour...
So let's get broke once more

$100 for the nighttown gig...

on dutch radio the manager/owner of nighttown said that any tickets not bought by members would be for sale in nighttown... i wonder... i'm disappointed that members also have to pay, but of course i'll go there... money don't matter 2night...

but i still think that paying $100 a year just to be able to buy very xpensive tix and receiving cds that will also be released in stores is worthless... many fams just can't afford both... i'm just lucky i can...

anyway, it's only great P comes to Holland only once in 4 yrs. open an npgmc bankaccount to save ur $ for next time...

ANYONE PLEASE GIVE A REVIEW OF LAST NIGHT'S AFTERSHOW!!!

I am not sure whether I am going 2 spend 100 bucks for the show in Nighttown this saturday, but since sales starts 2morrow, I am very anxious 2 hear reports about last nite! Was it very different from the concert? What did they play? WHAT HAPPENED??? was it worth the 100 dollars - not that that's an objective question but anyway... PLEASE REPORT!!!
