Damn, $312.01 each for a ticket? Guess that means I won't be going.

$312.01?!?!?!?

Is he crazy? Am I crazy? Because I think I'm going to both shows...

Flight to Vegas: $240

Tix for two nights: $624.02

Hotel: $150 for 2 nights

Giving your Significant Other grounds for divorce: Priceless!

Just like Whitney Houston says " Hell to the NAH" 312.01 are u out to lunch as high gas pricing are right now be for real.

Prince must gotta pay the JWS.

This isn't a mistake?

The tickets aren't $31.21???

That would make more sense.

For $312.00 Prince better let me fuck both of the Twinz and Tamar!!!!

Maybe he'll make this into a dvd or movie? That would be worth the money.

I sure as hell hope he won't be charging anything outrageous like this for the rest of the tour, because I won't be going, not for lack of money but for principle. This is an insult to fans. Damn, what's wrong with him?

I guess album sales are not gaining any ground, so I think I'll charge my loyal fan base $312.01 for tickets to make up for it. For the love Prince....That's a bit nutz dont'cha think???

That's what I'm wondering. These ticket prices are bullshit, I'm being honest here. I've been a Prince fan for over 20 years, and I'll be damned if I'm going to be paying $312.01 for a ticket to see him perform. We're not rich like you are Prince, c'mon, get a grip.

I think a lot of us could afford $31.21 per ticket, that I would not have an issue with.

The club is called the Empire Ballroom. It is in a seedy part of vegas. I used to live there, I know. lol

Yea, as usual, Prince the moral religious mutant is ripping off his fans with overpriced tickets.

How is he ripping off his fans?

Never been to Vegas, so I had to search the location for myself.

Just took a peek at the address and ran it through RandMcNally.com. Whatever it is, the venue is located on the 604, just east of I-15 highway in the heart of Vegas. It is north of the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, and basically, I guess, right across the street from the Monte Carlo resort and casino. It is also just south of the Holiday Inn Boardwalk Hotel and Casino.

Oh, after further review, the location is the Empire Ballroom. Backers of L.A.'s Viper Room bring a sophisticated dance and live music venue ... the web site says.

http://lasvegas.citysearc...room.html?

Located near the MGM Grand and Aladdin hotels, this freestanding, 1,300-person capacity club offers a sleek, elegant experience. Local clubbers, industry insiders and visiting singles take refuge on overstuffed couches in a main room decorated in rich red and chocolate brown, while dancers grind under a massive crystal chandelier to DJs or live bands. Eight private cabanas on the balcony are available for canoodling while a patio deck provides views of the Strip.

So, there ya go -- 3121 Las Vegas is the Empire Ballroom.

What a steal.

This is so COOL!! But not cool for me!! 21 and over, that just makes me want to cry. I dont care im going to get in some how!

Am I right in thinking this is bit is a tour announcement?

$312 is ridiculous.

bkw said:

im now listening to "Why u wanna treat me so bad" on AOL radio.. and strangely enough the lyrics feel very apt at the thought of these ticket prices!

I suppose the ticket price isnt THAT unbelieveable, now I just got find a way to pay for a return ticket from Australia to Las Vegas, hey I've got a good idea, why do he come to us??

21 and over huh?

The money machine continues...

Get on the boat alrite... so he can sink it.

Guys...I'm for knocking Prince when he's shitting on his fans just like the next head...But i think a lot of you folks fail to see that this is just another promotional tool...The midget can get away with it because the show is: a) at a small club; and b) it's in FUCKING LAS VEGAS...Do you guys think he's going to be charging $312.00 for an entire tour???? Come on...it's one thing to bitch about regular fans not getting into the gig...it's quite another to be naive about the people the midget is trying to attract to this show (celebrities, the press and die-hard fans who got money to burn...) Seriously folks...it's just not that serious to have a torch and pitch fork midget beatdown...Again; the gig is at Las Vegas...Follow the money.....

I agree. This isn't just a normal gig, it's an extra special exclusive gig, and the obscene price is to make it exclusive and also to generate a certain amount of publicity and notoriety - that y'all seem to be falling into. OF COURSE a regular tour would never be able to charge tickets like that, only one-off gigs like this. He's not ripping anybody off - if you can't afford it, don't go, just like if there's a tv show you don't like, don't watch it. Seeing Prince live in a relatively intimate setting is not a god-given right to every fan, you have to fight your way over the tops of every other fan!
