If you're a Prince fan you can't afford not to enter this fabulous competition.

All this week they're offering you a unique chance to win a trip for two to Prince's home for a private concert. The winner and guest will be the only 2 people from the UK to win this prize.

THE PRIZE
The winner and their guest will fly to LA from London Heathrow on 4 May, returning to the UK on 9 May, and they'll stay in a top hotel on Sunset Boulevard. On Saturday 6 May the winners will get the exclusive chance to go to Prince's LA home in Beverly Hills to see him perform tracks from his album 3121.

Please note: flights, hotel accommodation, breakfast, transfers to/from the airport and Prince's house are all included in the prize. You will need to bring your own travel money though! Winners need to be aged 18 or over and able to fly on the dates above.

ENTER NOW
For your chance to win, call 0901 2932 222 and leave your answer to the competition question (either A or B).

Please note: calls cost £1 from a BT landline. Mobiles and other networks may vary. 70p from each call goes to BBC Children in Need.

1st

hey, i just phoned to enter the competition - but they don't repeat the question on the phoneline, they just ask for A or B!!!

what was the question?!!

That was a waste - i called but they don't tell u the question!

When is the closing date?

The question is: "Is Prince Gay?" a = yes b = no

[b]Hi all, I posted a thread about this competition earlier on this evening, so far what I have established since then is that the question was something like:

"Which famous actress directed a video for Prince for his latest album"

Please note this is NOT the exact wording becuase my dad (I mentioned his vagueness on this subject earlier) paid only enough attention to be able to tell me that there was a competition, but not enough attention to tell me the finer details. Obviously we all know the answer to the question but my darling father cannot recall for the life of him whether A or B was that answer!!!!! Typical!! Now I know the question and the answer but I still don't know whether to go for A or B so technically I'm no further forward!!

I have been checking out the message boards on the Radio 2 website, and some dude has posted the same question there cos they missed it on the Radio too. As soon as I get more info I'll post it here.

Oh, one other thing, apparently it is running all this week so the only other option is to actually listen to Radio 2 I guess! Good luck guys!!!

There's NO question! U just have 2 choose between A or B!

(This O+> guy can b such a kidder sometimes...)

The details at the top of this thread are misleading.

You listen to the show.

At some point in the show (approx 5:20pm today), Chris Evans asks a Prince-related question.

You then telephone in the answer.

Two correct respondents are chosen at random to compete live on air, answering another Prince-related question.

The winner goes through to the next round.

Evans repeats this later in the show (approx 6:20pm today) - DIFFERENT question.

Winners from each day's competition ultimately face-off on Friday's show to win the chance to go with guest of choice to the LA performance.

Of course not.

These people tell u shit in order 2 WIN instead of U!

I told u, there's NO question. It's just A or B.

(It's easier, though...)

langebleu said:

I take it, then, that there will be different qualifying questions each day until the final on Friday? So basically you have to listen to the program live and be around in case you get the call?

The Beeb are also wrong that this is the only ticket giveaway for the UK - there was that one through www.3121.co.uk too...

Well so far there have been two different qualifying questions - one for the 5.20pm slot and then a different one for the 6.20pm slot:

1. What position did the album, Purple Rain, reach in the UK charts - (a) #2 or (b) #7?

2. Which Hollywood actress directed the video to Prince latest single, 'Black Sweat' - (a) Nicole Kidman or (b) Salma Hayek?

(The answer was announced as being Salma Hayek!)

When you telephone in, the question is asked and you are asked to leave a letter (a or b) and then you are asked to leave your name and telephone number so they can call you back to appear on air if you chose the correct letter.

Langebleu, quit confusing these poor fellows!

pkidwell said:

a it is then!

Is this the same competition ? :

http://www.channel4.com/m...ename.html

It doesn't say anything bout a closing date though

beatz01 said:

No, it's not the same competition. The Radio 2 one is to win tickets to see Prince perform at his house, the Channel 4 one is to win some t-shirts. Slight difference.

I love how they've mixed up Salma Hayek directing Te Amo with Black Sweat. Hell, you could technically answer either, both answers are wrong!

This all sounds like a bit of a mess.

rbrpm said:

I think it means you haven't won!

Just checked out the R2 website - couldnt they use a more up to date phone of Princey than that?

That one is back to "Gold" (suppose it's better than Purple Rain!)... but there are so many Pics of the Brits performance around you'd really think they'd use one of those instead!

So whats the fucking question then?

This is the UK version of the non-existant purple ticket.

I have just listened to the question on R2, its:

"Do U like 3121" a = yes b = no
