Finally, an Announcement Worthy of the Super Bowl: Prince to Play on Old Reunion Arena Site
,
Two months back we revisited that magical...nion Arena, a high number in my all-time concert-going Top 10. And, sure, there's no more Reunion, but there's still a Prince Rogers Nelson, and per the announcement that landed in the Unfair Park in-box mere moments ago, he's got a date to play something called "theEvent Tent Complex" on the former arena site at 8 p.m. February 4 -- yet another addition to the ever-growing roster of Super Bowl shindigs. But ... but ... what is theEvent, you ask? Release the release! theEvent, is an all-inclusive evening of music and culture with an intimate performance with legendary songwriter, musician, producer, actor and performer - the one and only Prince ... This all-inclusive soiree boasts music, art, food, spirits and more. Along with the rare performance by Prince, entertainment will include music from The Goss-Michael Foundation scholarship winners, guest DJ's, a silent auction, as well as additional special guests to be announced. theEvent will be held in Downtown Dallas at the site formerly known as Reunion Arena on Reunion Boulevard in an exclusive custom designed climate-controlled performance tent. Once again, this thing ain't cheap: Tickets start -- start! -- at $1,500, which gets you under the tent and to the bar; after that it's $12,000 for a "VIP Nest" six-pack (which includes "admission, reserved lounge style seating for six, dedicated server for drinks and food" and $25,000 for a "Head Table for Ten" (which comes with "plush stage side seating for 10 and dedicated server for food and bottle service"). But the money's going somewhere: Kenny Goss and George Mic...Foundation -- specifically, the scholarships doled ou...l students pursuing a visual-arts education in college.
So, lessee ... Prince is coming to town for the Super Bowl; so too Duran Duran and the Village People. Can Dexy's Midnight Runner's or Adam and the Ants be far behind? Or ... Wham!?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

No, he played there during the Emancipation tour. As much as I love Prince, I'll pass for $1500. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I'll go on record and say that I trust The Dallas Observer. It has a long history in this area. Our former mayor used to be a columnist for it.
I'm also going to go on record to say that the benefit isn't for gay people just because the couple who run the foundation is gay. It benefits high school students who are interested in the arts.

Can a MOD or the TC add the word DALLAS or Dallas TX to the topic title? "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

I am just amazed | |

I could see if the VIP section was $1500 and general seating $100. I know a lot of celebs will be in town that week and seeing Prince would be toward the top of their list. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

His last Superbowl appearance was preceded by a mini-concert broadcast on the NFL network. One of the best concerts I ever saw. Possibly, hopefully the same network will show this. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

This is not associated with the NFL. This event is a private event. I don't know too many people that have $1500, $12,000 or $25,000 to spend on an event that is going to last a few hours. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
