"HONG KONG MEMBERS: We r not able 2 sell Member Tickets 2 the Hong Kong Harbor Festival due 2 the nature of the event. There will not be any soundcheck either 4 the same reason. Please get ur tickets 4 the show thru the Harbor Festival. However, we are working on a plan 2 give every member who attends the event something special. We will post those details shortly."



still hope 4 Aussies tho'...fingers crossed.


R.

Not really a surprise. It is a festival after all, not a Prince-gig as such. I remember when it was rumoured that P was gonna play at this years Glastonbury fest, and people were talkin about preferential seating and soundchecks for NPGMC members. I mean COME ON! lol

exactly, i don't see how the hong kong members would be gettin 'screwed'...it's a festival, as opposed to a prince-only affair. there's other acts who are on the same bill, so no surprise there. hopefully ol' boy will make good on his word and do that sumfin special for those folks over there, to compensate for the lack of a soundcheck.

I wonder what the "something special" will be?

A free copy of Newpower Soul?
An exclusive single?
Their membership money back?

The BEST thing to come out of this message is that they were obviously working towards soundchecks etc for that gig which bodes well for the Aussie tour which is a Prince only tour.

I'm looking forward to the soundchecks as much as the concert itself!

probably a TMBGITW single


or is he out of those yet?

AaronMaximus said:

if he is, he'll be givin out that inexhaustible stash of 1999: the new master instead...

it's unfortunate that there was never a print overrun on that Ryde Divine single, or something like Exodus, so he could be handing out free copies of that shit instead of the same old tired crap

Basically.

The title of this thread gave me a helluva fright. I thought for a moment the show had been cancelled. After all, ticket sales are pretty slow.
I wasn't expecting to see a soundcheck there, but fingers crossed the 'something special' will be an aftershow.
Who cares, it'll be my first Prince concert since 1992. I'll be happy regardless.

u never know, whos to say Prince doesnt do a little "show" for members before the official concert???

I expect it'll be an aftershow, they'll just need to sort out a
venue that's all.

What's the deal with aftershows and entry to NPGMC members? Is entry pretty much guaranteed to NPGMC members, or at least do they get priority over the general public?
Also, how does it work in terms of proving your club membership? It's not as though I've got a membership card or anything like that.

If they do have an aftershow in HK then I absolutely have to get it!

nobody got screwed
