sorry (!) just overused it. Eye think it's cool.

Oh, hilarious...I was all impressed with the club for having the tickets at $60 -- thinking that they were equivalent to the most expensive seats the public can buy. Obviously, I was wrong.

Instead, the club ONLY let members get first crack at a handful of the cheapest seats available. So who's sitting in the $120 seats? His latest celeb friends, or what?

npgmc members have standing places at $60 a pop (nearest to the stage)

the seats are for general sale.

guess he wants the freaky fams up close

anyone know of any last minute airfare deals from SF to Vegas? It's like a 10 hour drive, it's hard to forsee doing that ya know?

Ticketmaster is now SOLD OUT. Prince packed the house with word of mouth ONLY. Didn't even need an advertisement or a line in a newspaper. The man is BACK.

This is really going to be Prince's year. Get ready y'all. Save the duckies and dust off the fine threads. Hell, buy some new ones. It's gonna be a rocket ride for everyone concerned.

I predict Prince will come to every every major city and town in the USA and Europe in 2004. And it all starts...TONIGHT!

Prince never "left" to be "back" Its all just a buncha whiney bitches that cant get enough live performances in "their" towns with "their" setlists with affordable tickets with "free" aftershows at a club where Prince serves them free drinks and signs their Lovsexy t-shirts/ Bitches!...Be happy he hasn't done a John Belushi or a an Elvis Presley style exit. ~Mr. Happy~---(no one peed in my corn flakes this morning,no)

I keep telling people this, but Vegas is no longer associated with "cheesy". Vegas is big business, and major as well as "has been" stars perform there.

but ya'll dont hear me tho.

True dat. I just meant he's coming back to play for us instead of hiding out in Canada.

You make a very good point and I often think about it - we are lucky that Prince has been with us this long. So many special talents are gone too soon: Jimi Hendrix, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Richie Valens, Sid Vicious, John Lennon...just to name a few. Between all the air travel, shady music biz types, drugs, lawyers gunz & money, and all the rest of the perils & pitfalls...P is still out there displaying serious skills.

Yeah he doesn't always do what we want him to do. Who does? At least he's still creating, jamming, and playing his a*s off every time he steps to the stage. Yeah!

I hear you. One look at Pollstar.com shows every A-List, B-List and C-List performer hitting Vegas on the regular. Vegas still has a cheezy grin, but Vegas packs heat. You know why? 'Cause Vegas PAYS the performers that so often get ripped off, conned out of royalties, and scammed by the record companies.

Performers love playing Vegas because Vegas appreciates their skills and shows it in the WALLET. Where everyone likes to get some props.

On top of that, Prince likes it because it is truly non-stop 24 hours a day. Just like him.

I understand the point!! I too prefer that he does both kinds of shows!! And I do appreciate the fact that he sold the $60 tix to club members!!

I am just upset and had a hissy fit!!

Temptation said:

Word is that there is a special VIP room and that some lucky hotties will be invited by a HOB related guy and that they will have a table overlooking the crowd and the stage. Has anyone heard about this. No tickets necessary, just for looking good and these hotties will be in. No kidding, a friend of mine told me it's standard practice in Vegas' HOB. Has anyone heard of this?

KingOfNYC said:

I better bring a wig and grow me some titties then.

Temptation said:

Ooooh, Prince sold 1,000 tickets !!!

KingOfNYC said:

Hey-I have lived in Vegas for quite some time, and I have never heard of this-nor anything related. If it does-then I am in the dark.

Besides, I'd rather be upclose.

Is there any reason why these concerts aren't announced in advance? I would love to hit a concert like this, but the notice is way to short...

freakyfeet said:

It's 1500-1800 tickets in less than a day, with no radio announcement, no newspaper mention, no TV, no media whatsoever. Just a couple of web site postings.

It doesn't prove anything about his public appeal. But it does prove that the man has loyal fans, and he can still stir up excitement. If you've ever tried promoting events, you know how hard it is to get people out, much less drop coin.

Don't hate, appreciate!

2nd show added for the 31th another 2 am gig

see ya there

Mauve said:

I got mine for tomorrow nite 2 already...wow 2 nites of PRINCE!!! I think I may pass out!

I think Prince plays Vegas all the time because he can announce a show a week in advance and still get a crowd with no hassle. With the horns, the religion and all the other stuff, Prince is getting a little too Vegasy for my tastes. 'm looking forward to another solid CD of demo quality jams with just Prince and his instruments, no other players or rappers or w's..thank you.

Vegas is fun, but it aint COOL, and it aint where I expected a Funk Brother like Prince to end up!

Prince doesnt like scalpers.He is in control when he gives short notice.He has enough money to last him to the finish line so its not about money anymore. He could easily retire and never perform again while living the good life without all of this hassle etc. But he chooses to do what he loves:perform.
