An Australian late night talk show called Rove Live is giving away 2 purple tickets on tonight's show! They are going to reveal a secret password later on in the site, but as of yet, they haven't revealed how to enter the competition once you know the password. I'll keep watching and keep you updated.

Can anyone from NSW or Victoria who have been watching the show give us all an update (as you guys have allready seen it due to Day Light Savings)?

I think this comp also applies to New Zealanders.

They mention the comp on their website - http://www.rovelive.com.au

I havent even bought the new album, I'm afraid i'm going to find a purple ticket ..

they will reveal the secret password after the break

and they just played the Black Sweat clip

and if you're just tuning in, keep watching because Ross Noble is going to be later, and he's hilarious, you'll love him

the secret password is: prince3121

go to http://www.rovelive.com.au and follow the links to enter the comp

u have to be over 21 and (I'm sorry, but I was wrong before) it's only open to Australians, not New Zealanders.

I was afraid that it wouldn't be as easy as that. They are gonna make us look like idiot's on tv to get the a ticket.

Surely there cant be that many Aussie fans. I cant even get on that site with a cable connection.

Anyway, the comp is open until tomorrow night.

Next Tuesday, 18th April, three of Australia's biggest Prince fans will appear live on Rove Live to compete for the opportunity to take themselves and a friend to see Prince perform live in his LA home.

You must be an Australian resident of 21 years of age or over to enter this promotion.

This isnt fair! I am one of his biggest fans but only 18!!! He BETTER come to Australia (preferably perth!!!) in the next tour!

Winners must be able to travel to LA to see Prince play at his house between May 5th and 14th...

The entry requires you to do two things:

1. Say in 100 words or less why you are Australia's biggest Prince fan.

2. Say in 100 words or less what you would be prepared to do to win this competition i.e eat something weird, shave your head etc)

Fuck! -- it's odds on some crazy moron will in this competition.

Man. You have to write a hundred words or less about why you are Australias biggest fan, and then what you are prepared to do to see Prince.

I've been sitting here for like half an hour in front of the computer screen with a complete blank...can't I just answer a simple question about Prince and then be flown to his house?? I mean, comeon people!!!

And hey to all the Aussie fans I met many a year ago...

ally85 said:

Hi Ally!

HEY!!

How you doing? Long time no chat....

Hows your 100 words or less going? I feel like I'm back in high school...

ally85 said:

I'm good thanks Ally

I just wrote down some stupid crap. I'm not very creative so I have no chance.

I was so looking forward to this but as soon as I read that I'd have to do something wierd on national television, sorry I chickened out.

united1878 said:

I'd do it but you'kll probably see a full on anxiety attack live on the telly.

bkw said:

Hey, could that be your wierd thing to do?

Exactly.

Wow. I just wrote a really lame response...and I'm so NOT prepared to, like, shave my long beautiful locks or eat some squishy bug to see Prince. As much as I like him...

bkw said:

LOL. Now I'm freaking out that I'll win and have to do something weird and like, I agreed to the terms and conditions so they wont let me chicken out!
What have I gotten myself into!?!

Ah...this is such Rove bullshit.

Kinda don't want to enter because of this.

If they are looking for "out there" people, I hope they select Monte and he wins the whole trip.

Goodluck to everyone

I just said I'd do "whatever it takes"... Hope I havn't gotten myself into anything over my head

dnaplaya said:

It is kind of lame. But on the other hand its good that 3121 is getting some airplay on a commercial channel. Cant be bad for him...

ally85 said:

Yeah, no way am I shaving my head only to lose out to someone who's more willing to eat some creepy crawly thing!

Big-up's to MammaLisa for appearing on the show too

DarlingDiana said:

[/b] This is for permanant Australian residents only, does not apply to New Zeland fans

I`ve entered . I thought of something real weird but knew I`d have to go through with it. So I changed it to something tame.

It`s bad enough that you have to appear on live television. But I suppose this is a good test to judge just how big a fan we really are. Bugger that being on International television, but this is probably the closest chance I`ll ever get to be in the presents of the Magnificent Purple one.

Yeh I think theres probably gunna be a quizz too maybe. I know I`m not up on my Prince trivia.

Man, Rove is cruel

ILuVPurrrrrple said:

All its gonna do is ensure that the fan who ends up going to LA will be a complete mentalist. Prince gonna love that if they end up crashing the stage and mooning the audience coz it "would be a wicked laugh"...

oh this kinda sucks
how dissapointing is it going to be watching on the 18th (if you arent one of the few selected) then watching someone win.
i'll be hurting

he is going to make someone eat a cockroach or something!! yuck
i'd vomit! how embarrasing

dnaplaya said:

Monte!

i entered, im prepared to do something weird
