oh no! I just bought the cd thru npgmc today after reading that someone's friend received a purple ticket after ordering thru them. I better not get a cd that was opened and/or resealed!

And anyways, wouldn't the rules of the contest exclude musictoday people from being able to win? You know how friends and families of all groups associated with Prince, musictoday, npgmc, etc etc are not eligible or some such.


yea, the rules exclude them..but people always find a way around things....they could give it to a friend who could then take them, etc...npgmc mods say they are looking into it.

You may also play the Game when you purchase (while supplies last) a specially marked “3121” CD by Prince at a participating retail location.

shame that was not put on the original Emails / Adverts instead of being hidden away in three miles of rules !!! lol

Now I see why my CD's came in a clear Seal..... sad

yea, you arent supposed to buy it if it doesnt have that gold seal. that gold seal indicates the "specially marked" cd's they were talking about in the rules.

did yall hear about what happend to some npgmc members? alot of them receive their package with the shrink wrap already removed (but laying in the box) eek

that would totally suck! sounds like someone at musictoday is willing to risk their job....just to go see prince biggrin



Seeing that I remember thinking the shrink wrap on my cd looked "off". sad

I'm thinking the people that are "allegedly" going through the cd's and opening them before they're shipped out aren't thinking about losing their jobs, rather they're thinking about what they feel will be the BOATLOAD of money they have the chance of getting selling one of these tickets on e-bay.
I'm firmly planted in denial

I believe that could be the case, but I also believe a lot of hardcore NPG members won't be happy unless at least one "fam with x number of posts who has been a member since the beginning" wins. IMHO, a lot of them really feel a huge sense of entitlement when it comes to the way they are treated (mistreated) with regard to pre-sale seats, seperate concert lines, and the purple ticket contest.

Everything happens for a reason...
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

musictoday is hired by different labels to sell thier stuff.. they have nothing to do with the actully label.. so i would assume all musictoday employes were eligible for this contest..


as for ordering thru npgmc... helll no.. i wanted my cd for sure that day and not at some crazy price.. im sorry if the cd is going to be release in stores im not ordering thru npgmc. sad really i would rather give prince all my money but u never know when your going to get your stuff... i bought my 3121 at walmart (only place open at 7:30am) and they hadnt even set up the cds rack yet. so the lady went and grabbed like 10 copies to put out.. if they (npgmc) would had the cds out to people by saturday i might of purchased it.. ... btw any one have an extra 3121 pin? just kiddin...well unless u do..

You could also change "night" to "nite", "be" to "b", & "to" to "2" but to the casual/non-Prince fan it looks damn good. biggrin

it appears that the opened cd's ar a manufacturing problem when shipping from musictoday..and i can honestly see this happening, seeing how flimsy the shrink wrap is on these things. my store bought purchases required no effort at all to open...i actually just ran my thumb over the package and it literally ripped open on its own. the musictoday cd's apparently the shrink wrap is sticking to the bubble wrap/envelope mailers..so that when you open the envelope, it is also opening the cd's.....

It took me 10 min to get the cd out of the wrapping in my MusicToday order.


It was stuck inside the mailing envelope.

I wonder if anyone on here does win a ticket, whether they will announce it. After all, they will no doubt be inundated with people begging for the chance to be their guest, everything from terrible sob stories to financial rewards, which could make their life hell on the Org forever more when they turn down people...

I don't know - surely one of the biggest fan communities? It's certainly possible. But if you won, would you announce it? It would be a bit like winning big on the lottery - hundreds of charities asking for donations and relatives coming out of the woodwork - a poisoned chalice. Still, if I won, I would announce it, just to let everyone know how jammy I was!
