i honestly can't understand the complaints here in any sence of the word.

hes doing something....and its fresh and innovative...he doesn't have to do anything but, he is.

all this aswell, is optional. its for you if you want it. if it's to expensive for you, you can save up if you so wish. alot of things are expensive (i dont think lotus.com is) but you dont complain? you just save up. no complaints. I want a blu-ray player, cant right nnw but, i can save up. same thing.

Trust me dear. I think very clearly.
The people that I do not want to have access to the site, personally, are the people who are always here whining.
I HOPE all the true fans can access that site for that price! Nothing was ever said at all about me NOT wanting true fans to be able to access the site.
So, in case your brain is not functioning correctly I will say it again.
Exclusive=good. If it will cut out some of the RANTINGS I read around here.
Intelligent opinions are always welcome. But whining and complaing about everything (sorta like you do) no thanks...I'd rather do without.
So before you go talking out of your ass again, read what I said..and don't put words into my mouth.

LondonStyle said:

DUH! I had NO idea those were Prince lyrics!
I was saying Loser to you using those Prince lyrics as a response to another post.
You twit.

You really need to thinks about what your saying ....you want other to miss out so you can gain access to the site with your pals...

why should a fan who can't afford $77 / £54 miss out .... don't you think you should help them buy asking for a better price from Prince ...so they can also have a chance... he may re-look his pricing and lower it to allow more fams/fans access.....

The world revolves around money and that means chosing on what you like to spend it. If that means eating or a website the choice is easy! It would have been nice if people could choose between a big package including the new albums and a smaller package that would cost less and gives less. It looks like a all or nothing deal now. I understand what you are saying and i wish everybody that wants to can join but i dont think asking for a better price will help. Screaming for the vault to open never helped

For me it is okay because i live in Europe and have no Target to go to so this site gives me the new music in a legal way. I was one of the people that was happy with the NPGMC and the cd's we got for the 100 dollar so maybe i am not the right person to ask.

DevotedPuppy said:

You mean like London and ....well....I won't name anymore names...
Yeah, those crazy ass fans sure will try to join asap!

Don't try and backout now!.... you knew what statement you were replying to ...and your thread above is a good attempt at trying to get out of the big hole you put yourself in...

i like the cover to MPLSound a lot. kinda cheesy but I still like it. looking forward to getting the albums.

LondonStyle said:

It is a GREAT price. If you can't afford it I am sorry but I will not feel guilty that I can. I would love to run out and buy a whole new wardrobe today, a hard drive and a printer. I can't afford it so I don't. I wonder how many of you that are complaining about the $77 smoke, drink, charge up a storm on your credit cards, eat lunch out everyday, etc. Can't we all just be happy Prince is back on the web?

people who are fans of sade and kate bush must look at threads like this and just shake their heads in disgust.

funkteer said:

Please don't feel guilty...but all the orgers who can afford can still support the orgers than can't .....maybe Prince will reconsider his price ....his people must read the threads on the org so there is no harm in asking...no one is asking for free....just a fair price

Do you know what we really should start getting upset about? Has anyone been reading about what has been going on with Ticketmaster ripping people off? I really hope that he doesn't use them to sell tickets to his concerts. Now THAT is what will have me bitching.

LondonStyle said:

The only hole here is ur mouth dear.
I know exactly what I was talking about.

funkteer said:

in the past, ordering tix from his web site has been a way of getting around ticketmaster.

npggirl77 said:

Yeah I know....try read the thread backwards ...

LondonStyle said:

Until we know exactly what is on offer, then how can we possibly comment properly on the price? It mat be that it is a huge rip off. It may be that it is an irresistible bargain. It may be that it's worth exactly $77 and no more.

After it's launched and we know what's there, then we can all have our informed say. Right now, it's all still speculation and that's the really frustrating thing. I'd like some firm details by now.

TheEnglishGent said:

totally take your point ...but the only fact we have is $77 / £54 which is alot in these times for access to a website ...really not sure how many orgers or prince fans/fams who do not sit on the org can afford it in these times ...

I also went to Madonna's site to see what she charges. Do you know that she has stopped selling the membership that allows pre-sales? That is what I am talking about exclusivity. Why sell more memberships when your hard core fan base already paid for the right to the best seats? Bon Jovi also has a fan site where he charges fees for pre-sales and private shows.

That $25 membership fee Prince charged in 2004 allowed everyone to join, including scalpers. Hard core fans, like us, may have been deprived of the great seats. I did enjoy some GREAT seats, sound checks, and after shows. Downloads don't mean much to me, because from what I know and see, those who want to download music can already do so for free.

LondonStyle said:

I don't see you as a hater, well at least not from your previous posts. As I said in an earlier post, I do feel sorry for those who can't afford to join. I just know that the haters definitely wont join.

That alone is worth far more than $77.

Anxiety said:

Yeah, it's not P's fault but he could never completely shake out all the corruption in the ticketbastards system and he knew it. Not all the good seats were going to the NPGMC members. No real good answer but it does usually guarantee you first 20 which is good enough. I don't know though if we are getting a tour??? And nowadays all the scalpers jump in if the tix are printed and sent.

MusicToday is another POC business. I hope he found better business to join up with but MusicToday was a step up from whoever ran the Crystal Ball fiasco.

funkteer said:

Wow...i wonder if Madonna knows this is happing , It must be better to have a mix of fans not just the one's that afford it at the front ...That's the great thing about the gig's at the 02 fans that don't get chance to be at the front got a chance ...

There must be another way to get rid of the scalpers with out raising the membership price for real fans/fams of his music ???
