Everyone is always stealing my ideas.

On the bright side, Prince will be the only strange little man at Paisley Park unless he has Oompa Loompas working there.

fucking awesome!
can't wait

i doubt that half of that stuff will even happen!

All of this promotion is a little too hard ot beleive. I dont even think he did all this when EMANCIPATION came out. Also, since WHEN has BET and MTV played a Prince video at any legnth? I would love to see him promoted properly but this sounds like over exposure. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how much of this REALLY happens

It's so grand you half expect to read Prince will cross the Gibraltar Strait on a high wire.

you know what? i don't know if i like the Prince that subtetly embraces the music industry. i like it when he does things his own way. the days of the 80s music machine is kind old to me now.

7 tickets.... 3+1+2+1=7.....

And 7 tickets in the official released retail CD's ? That's like a 100% chance to get one...

Well, remember, that's how the media works these days. It takes the most inane, dumb song (Shake That Laffy Taffy, My Humps, et al.) and they put it at the top of the charts for like 2-3 weeks, and then it disappears. The only difference here is that this time it will happen to someone who actually has the chops.

Yes, it has two sides, hasn't it? Would be great to see him everywhere, but let's say he'll be really big for some time again, then long-time fans and the casual new ones will be one. And God forbid that the album isn't all that, you'll have to explain yourself even more to other (serious) music fans.

But why am I bitching, just bring it on!

Will he strategically place those 7 CDs w/TiX in specific cities to boost sales
in "slow" markets or will he put them all in NY to get the wildest fans at his house?

MTV Unplugged woul dbe enough for me. Wow.

That is one of those things from the list that I can't see happening. At least not like this. Maybe you can win a visit to his house and see a gig but I doubt that there will really be tickets in the actual CDs.

sometimes i wonder why the lot of yall are on this site... claiming to be fans...

i unno... just wonderin.
don't bother answering if all you're going 2 do is flame
that's just tired...

i hear complaints constantly about not enough promotion this not enough that... maybe he caught wind of it...

now he's a promoting machine, and there's nothing but negativity going around
he's appearing on shows, and you got nothing but hate

like wtf are u here for? really?

just my

because the term "fan" is defined by each of us individually.

sosgemini said:

hmmmm alright.

If this info is true, then it will be a great year in Princeville.

Posthumous said:

u damn right if u have a purple ticket dont tell me because literally i would kill 4 that ticket if someone sells it on ebay i would pay my entire life saving on it

Since the last Prince album with this kind of promotion was such a steaming pile of mediocrity, will those fair-weather fans return? I really don't think so.

I'VE GOT THE PURPLE TICKET

I just hope the music will be worthy of the kind of marketing campaign that is "potentially" being offered by Universal. If Universal gets behind the project the way it is being described in this leak, then that is hopefully an indication that Universal has heard the music and really believes it has a lot of potential.
