they are all in the cardboard box...which are called "digipacks"

Thats the word !! lol.....Couldn't remember the name..Digipacks.....

So they are all in Digipacks, unlike Musicology which had the option of DP and Jewel Case versions?

3121 is # 1 ... and yet no purple ticket winners

ronnie said:

Not that we KNOW of. I wouldn't tell folks on the ORG. Well yes I would. Then U would never hear from me again.

i bought two copies, one of which i'm not going to open until after the purple ticket party is over....and maybe, not even then.

Anx said:

Me too. I will only open the second copy if I don't win from the postcards I'm sending everyday to the Game Play Sweepstakes & Second Chance Sweepstakes OR there is still an unclaimed ticket.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE KIDS WITH GOLDEN TICKETS? Be afraid, very afraid.

I didn't get one but my grandfather probably will....

After the fannies have it, it falls off the chart, goes to cut out, ends up at the flea market and my grandfather picks it up for $1, thinking its Harry Belafonte, and gets a damn purple ticket. Tosses the whole thing out after hearing the first track (along with the ticket)

I purchased 2 copies too... I'm sure there are other out there so that may explain the sales but, where the hell are the winners? There's 2 weeks left for the contest, no?

An orger has got to win.

Of course, One kid did inherit the entire chocolate factory. Will someone walk away with the keys to NPG?

yes, and you will burst through the ceiling of Paisley Park in your glass elevator, just you and Prince holding hands and looking down from the heavens, oh that sounds just dreamy

Maybe he should have put a ticket in the Black Sweat cd single

ronnie said:

I'm sayin. . .*somebody* shoulda won *something* by now

I smell Crystal Ball 2.

Damn! Was yesterday in a reckord store and there the cd was about 1 dollar cheaper and plasticized..mine wasn't... Oh, there'd better not be a ticket in them!

ronnie said:

Yes, very curious that no one has claimed a winning ticket yet. Unless they are keeping quiet (like lottery winners). According to the rules, winners have to send in the ticket and then sign something with 7 days or so...but even if they didn't want their names released, wouldn't you think NPG would be saying, "3 tickets have been found." Would that make people buy more CDs or give up?

I too am surprised no one has been announced just yet.

You laugh now, but you KNOW I'm dead serious. (I told you at John's Pizza when I grabbed their free postcards!) I have those MFs stamped, addressed, and collated by day, sitting by my front door. Every morning when I leave for work I grab my keys, my diet Coke & two postcards. Then I walk across the street to the post office & off they go.

Who'll be when I win and need to decide who my guest will be?




BTW...you avatar is classic.

Let's see, if I was Prince, I would go ahead and put the purple tickets in a good month later to make everyone buy the dang thing again!

then i could buy more stuff for myself! And make more videos for myself! and pay for more hotels!

You know it I know if anyone derserves to go based on gumption and the meticiculous way you have gone about this contest, is you.

Nah, won't work. There is only nine days left in the purple ticket promotion.

I'm sending out my two postcards a day, too.

It may be down to those damn post cards after all. I would at least like to know that the purple Ticket isn't a hoax.

superspaceboy said:

so how much money is being spent buying and sending a postcard? Daily? 10-20, daily?

jthad1129 said:

You can only enter each one once a day so a postacrd is 24 cents so a 48 cents a day habit.

Romera said:

Yes, and if you're "thrifty" (like me), you got your postcards free from a bar or restaurant (aka Go Cards) so you only paid about $7-8 total for postage...which is less than buying the CD.



















(Okay, okay, YES, I bought 2 CDs--but have only opened one...see my ir-rationale above.)


















Okay who am I kidding--I tried to make my postcards stand out, so I bought postcards of famous works of art that corresponded to the 3121 song titles. (e.g. Matisse's Dance & Robert Indiana's LOVE, Redon's The Boat, etc...) Yes, I am a huge DORK.
