Thanks for the information! Can't WAIT for this show!!

KingOfNYC said:

I think the reqular VIP tickets may start at $300 which I can afford. The first five rows would be perfect for this amount of money. And you better believe I'm bringing in my Nokia 3650 camera phone to take photos (no flash).

I'll orgnote you my info.

EverlastingNow said:

Cool!

Wowww
$2000 per VIP package and the auction still has 3 hours to go!!!

does anyone know is each package includes a guest, or is it just one person to be seated in the front row?

1 person only. No guest. If you have a guest you need to get a VIP ticket on sale later this week according to them.

It's just for one person.

KingOfNYC said:

What will the other VIP seats include? And if your friend gets the other kind do they sit near you?

no garanty 2 my understanding
your friend may be 4 rows behind u

This would be a kick ass DVD.That would generate alot of money for the charity.Good luck to them.

Buy the way,not only is prince going to be there,but they are going to rock the joint.

Bull, why do u say P will be there?

my theory on Prince's appearance is this:

Forum is a large venue. As talented as all of the "Family" is, none of them have the marquee value to fill a venue that size. I think he's booked, but a "last minute announcement" will be made confirming his appearance.

Interesting theory, I have a hard time thinking they would not use his name if they had him on. But i look forward.
I also would be very impressed by the man if he had was comfortable to show up and play with a group of people he basicly has stopped talking to for a very long time (W&L in particular). That would be awesome and impressive.
I love the idea, but i dont know if it's realistic...

Wendy and Lisa and Prince still talk, it's just that we all don't hear about it. But they still talk and are very much still friends.

as nice as that is to believe, how do you know its true? i personally dont believe prince is the uber recluse (ie he has friends and talks and socialises etc) its made out but i wouldnt mind knowing how you know theyre very much friends? if that is true, i take it the stuff about him saying they need to apologise for their lifestyles isnt true then?

It is not my impression that Wendy & Lisa are still talking with Prince. Would you talk to someone who said you should renounce who you are?

and have you ever heard those exact words come out of prince's mouth?

why must we dwell on peoples personal relationships...if they work together its a business agreement and those want to see the reunion will enjoy it..if they dont, well those who dont want to see it will be happy...

in the end, its only one freakin night out of the year...

It was in Alex Hahn's Possessed which I believe it is naive to believe did not tell The Truth.

And since when did Prince start separating business and personal relationships? Paisley Park was the name of his harem.

I am SERIOUSLY considering coming to California, JUST for 1 night, JUST to see all this talent!


Frankly, I hope "Prince" does NOT come. It's easy to get the impression that he would think it was like "the good old days" & he could MANIPULATE people, play MIND GAMES on them..
&
THEN have the nerve to pass out copies of "The Watchtower" to everyone.

If I could somehow say it to his face, I would YELL-
in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS-

"prince: STAY THE FUCK AWAY from the family jam!
your presence would only likely DETRACT from the positive vibe that would be happening there"

in fact, if I thought there was a "50% chance" he would show up, I wouldn't bother going out there.
