On NPGMC:

Premium Tickets for Copenhagen - $125 each
Premium Tickets for Milan - $34 each.

How does this work?

another funny thing:
Berlin premium ticket: $ 68.
Berlin regular tieckt: $ 55.

I thought I am paying $ 100 membership so I can get premium tickets. so why do they add another 13 bucks?

We all know northern people are bigger and need more space.
Italians are small and you need more of them to fill a stadium.

DOH!

*this statement was made based on prejudice*

$100 London Premium, $92 Manchester premium.

How does he work these prices out?

He no doubt works on a fixed profit margin. Different venues charge different commisions, combined with different capacities.

At the end of the day, he still needs to make a profit to make it worthwhile. Its not a break-even promotional tour like they have been in the past with an album to promote. Its a tour for profit.

Still steep in some places mind you!

Good point, this is peculiar.

I just coffed up 250 bucks to take my girlfriend and myself to the CONcert and - you know - I wouldn't go if I didn't think it'd be worth it - and I do - but the crazy range in ticket prizes is putting me off a bit.

Now, prizes are higher in Scandinavia than on the rest of the planet, but not that much higher. Specially not in Germany, that had ticket prizes down to 30 dollars too, as I recall.

And I don't wanna bitch too much, cause he's coming and I (finally) got my tix offa npgmc and Candy's gonna be there and altho I usually JUST SAY NAY, I can't wait for this experience. If the tour is anything like the North American leg - then it's gonna be "off the chart", as Prince would say.

But preacher preacher is it true - that Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you? Ride around in your Lexus Coupe - drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit - aw preacher: that ain't truth!

prices for CCH, Hamburg are also high. $85 premium, $71-$103 for usual tickets.

Much for me, but I don't mind. I'M GOING TO SEE PRINCE!

(for those of you who say boykotting will lower the prices...go ahead. I will tell you about the show.)

Didn't New York NPGMC members pay $150 per ticket?

I went to three ONA concerts and the lowest price I paid was $125.00 for DC I think.

I could have gone to them all for $68 a ticket. Don't complain too much, it could be worse.

Europe, have fun, this is an event to remember.


Peace

I'm not a member of the music club, but I'm going to
the concert in Antwerp.
Regular tix: 40-50-60 euro.
I bought two tix of 60 and have nice seats.

See you in the Antwerp, the city that never sleeps !
