are gonna buy more than one copy of 3121 just 2 look 4 a Purple ticket? just curious....

Not me...I have a theory about things like this: if I'm gonna win it, I'm gonna win it by buying one CD, not by playing the odds. Same with the lottery...on the very few times I play, I only buy one ticket. If I'm meant to win, I'll win on that one ticket. Buying 100 tickets won't do any good for me...

this belongs on the purple ticket sticky

if i'm supposed to be at some crazy thing like this, i'll wind up there. i only need one cd. everyone i know who i could think to give extra copies to will already be buying their own copies. i bought the iTunes singles, so between that sweepstakes thingie and buying my copy of the album, i'm fine with that.

Yea but i thought it don't count for UK'ers?
And i dont have a credit card, only dedit, so i guest i cant go that way!

Are you saying there won't be any tickets in the UK? Because over at HQ there is a thread in the news section confirming 7 tickets for the US and 1 for Europe. Good luck. I think we've got a better chance of Prince simulating oral sex on a mic stand than winning a Purple Ticket.

I'm gonna buy 2 copies because I always buy more than 1 copy of eatch Prince release (Album/Single/DvD). If I get the ticket I let U now

If you read the rest of that thread, it says that the album wouldn't count towards the chart if it had this promotion attached, so they're not doing it in the UK albums.

I'm with Byron, if I'm meant to win it, I'll win it with one purchase. If it applied in the UK. Better to save the money and shower the eventual winners with gifts in the hope of getting them to pick you as one of their guests!

I had thought of buying two CD's. I thought I would give the second one away. However as byron has stated, it is like the lotto. Your chance of winning doen't really increase by buying another CD.

However byron was wrong in compairing it to the lotto. That's 1 in millions. I am sure the chances are much better from the first printing of the cd. How many cd's are made in the first batch?

Didnt Charlie Bucket buy at least 2 Wonka Bars!

No Charlie Bought Two Wonka Bars.

And They were good taisting chocolate bars that could be savored.

These are CD's, and when you have one, you already have the second one.

I'm going to buy one copy. If a ticket is in there....fine, if not, who cares? Also, does the ticket include plane fair and hotel accommodations? If not, then I would sell the ticket because the cost of the trip alone would bankrupt my ass.

yep. just 1 thru the npgmc....

Unless one has the purple ticket.

I'm disappointed since it's for US residents only

And I'll buy only one because of this

I bought the Black Sweat iTunes download and pre-ordered 3121 (with the lapel pin). I figure that two entries should do the trick.

I'm bringing a friggin scale to the store. That ticket has to offset the package weight by at least a gram.

Someone made a funny quote about the lottery and shit like this once. "It's a tax on people who are bad at math" lol.
