"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Yeah - I'm confused. Can you only get VIP if you're in a group or is there something else you get to see/do as an individual with a VIP ticket versus the standard $38 ticket? Let the rain come down...17 days.... | |

I agree with those who feel that it is way too soon. | |

i wasn't one of the lucky ones who got to visit while he was there - a place so vibrant, so full of life and creativity. i can't fathom it being a place for relics. | |

What about the urn maker who said they created a special repository for Prince's cremains? Someone else mentioned the elevator is off of the atrium; the atrium is the one place I would like to see with the large symbol and everything else. I would assume they will install some type of wall or doors around the elevator so no one will see it. My opinion is they should have waited a year then opened the place up. Really, does anyone think they'll make enough money to put a dent in the tax bill? The tours will pay the operating expenses, but that might just be it. Sorry for being no negative (again). I hope everyone who goes feels comfort walking into the building.

What brings me to tears is the proposed "construction" involving the doorways and such. I'm absolutely excited to go and see everything, but at the same time it feels like they're violating Prince's vision of the building.
How many here are planning a trip in October? I need to get with the Mrs to see if she'll take the time off work. |

Those who aren't comfortable will just wait. Might be worth the wait anyway because I bet it will improve over time if not everything was ready and as they get feedback from attendees. Paisley Park is in your heart

I have it on good authority that Laura R. will be conducting "special" tours at PP for org members she disagrees with. The sign up sheet is almost to capacity so act quickly. Bring a will. | |

It didn't seem like major changes, just getting things up to fire/building code etc. Paisley Park is in your heart

Kara said: Although it's bittersweet right now, I'm very relieved to hear that Paisley Park is being preserved for past, present, and future fans to experience. I was afraid it would be sold. I very much hope it's successful so the doors can stay open for years to come. Prince opened Paisley to fans when he was alive, so I see nothing wrong with the estate continuing that tradition as long as it's done in a respectful manner. Well said that is how I am feeling too I could not yet sign up for the email list, saw the sign up page and closed it. The tears came at that point. | |

If that wasn't the place where he passed I don't think I'd care but because it is it's too soon for me because this early isn't going to just be fans, there'll be a lot of rubbernecking. | |

Dr. Funkenberry (I wish he had a better name 
) mentioned that things Prince had planned for the museum wouldn't be in place in time & it all just amplifies that he's gone I also feel it's too soon, but perhaps that's the whole point? To make people start talking about PP as a museum, concentrate on that and fan tours and the lot, while ending all this talk about his possible addiction. [Edited 8/25/16 9:43am] | |

I will wait and see how it goes over the next year and if it's going well, I will definitely visit, but not until they've worked out the bugs and we know it's going to last. | |

He had an awards room..pics of it have been on the internet and obviously there are many items he kept..his motorcycle from PR etc..I think this is what he had in mind..And the alternative is to sell P.P. It should be preserved. Until the end of time | |

[Edited 8/25/16 9:43am] Anything to get the focus off his death and maybe get people into a happier place. That's why I can't wait for the tribute concert details to be announced. I want to be celebrating his life not obsessing over his death. That's why I had to stop posting in that other sticky thread. It was just putting me in a very bad place emotionally and physically.

Yes. I am flying into Minneapolis from West Virginia on 10/10. Staying until 10/15. Scheduling whatever I can now. Waiting on tickets sales. And I'm leaving the Mr. behind!! | |

My wife and I are planning Spring Break there. That way the girls can come with us. |

I am sure they got a hefty chunk of change up front from the people who will run this. And the timing totally makes sense. They want it up and running so people coming for the memorial concert in October can visit Paisley Park, too. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I wonder if they'll allow photos or if they'll be annoying about it even after his death? | |

I'm bringing my Mom. So someone will be there to help me behave... I don't know which I'll do more though... laugh or cry! | |

I was wondering that too, except for the annoying part. I'm thinking they won't allow photos. If people go and post photos of it all over the internet, then some people may feel they have already "seen" it, so they won't go in person. TRUE BLUE |

Will we have to fill out this information for each person that's attennding in our group, or just a total count? Just wondering... And I have signed up for e-mail updates. Thank you! | |

Will go and visit years in the future. if its still open. I will never completely get over his death. Still in disbelief. Want it to be a music venue or music school, not a museum. Full of life with music flowing threw the building. Its a travesty. Just gathering dust. |
