R - I love KISS also, but I wasn't gonna pay that much and not see ACE (he was replaced by anutha gutarist).

Anyway, even tho' the suspense is killing us, this is kinda exciting in a bizarre way. I hope we're not all disappointed.

If we haven't heard anything from NPGMC by the weekend, then it really will b crunch-time!

Keep hope alive people...

Prince can pinch whatever he wants and then he can come back for seconds and thirds

Nice.

Off the topic, but I thought this wuz funny (hope I don't get in trouble 4 cross-posting)...



from keithyT @ NPGMC boards...


"I heard a rumour about Australia ...

...that the water goes down the plug hole the other way round!

that can't be good! I hope Prince has warned his rubber duckie"

OK, Ive had a good think about this.

I would hope P would charge Australian NPGMC members AUS$150 for their tickets with all included. This is slightly above par for the US fans price for their ONAL ticket.

Then the remainder gets sold as a VIP pass at $392 (and lets just say that this figure is determined by the fact that the 3 disc set "ONAL" cost US$100 on NPGMC retail, plus added to that a membership charge of US$25 which members have paid for and they haven't, plus a bit extra to cover additional costs. Maybe members will get tickets cheaper and the aditional costs will be picked up by the general public in the $392, so what's discounted on ours gets built into theirs?)

Also, Think about this!

Last year, Celebration was charged at US$250, and for that u got a 7 day pass at Paisley Park, concerts, tour of PP, and all the bells and whistles that was 'Celebration'

US$250 = AUS$369.11

So a fan attending last years Celebration for a 7 day period was charged less than one of these "VIP" tickets for one concert show.

Alot of US fans thought that was steep 4 7 days.

When u think of it like that, $392 is alot out of most fans ballpark.

I hope this is taken into account when they announce the members ticket price

what if they dont announce member tickets?

Its amazing...
Prince is the only artist who has marketed himself to his true fans so much that he can eat off of us if need be. He can pay his bills off uf us...
Offering an exclusive membership 4 X amount of dollars in addition to his highly expensive shows and festivals...

Come on, marinate on this. Because his following is emmersed in him, we pay whatever to see him.

Think about it

In the "Backstage Pass" area on NPGMC, the note that comes out of the draw says "Members details posted next week", so im living on the hope of that one sentence. It hints at it, I don't see why not. The real issue now is PRICE

Would fans thoughts on this package be different if the 3 CD pack was of all new material, plus the preshow, show, etc, etc?

hell yea! if i knew it was crystal ball 2 i would be very very happy. hell throw in prince and the npg dressing up in maids outfits and serving us refreshments at the pre show and id be in heaven.

forgot about the backstage pass bit, i guess there is still hope!

ok, i just finished reading ALL of this, it took me about 20 minutes (slow reader) now im just a mess, ready to tear hear out and go into convoltions, im stressin enough about this concert as it is, now i read this, this is to much but i do still believe there is hope, i to believe we will get notification soon, and the best tickets held for us, but my main concearn is how much???
stress isnt good for me

from 'pilotbeacon' at NPGMC...


Prince and Club Moderators,


Came across this information today ...

There is a VIP Prince Ticket Hotline in Sydney Australia promotin the sale of VIP tickets as of the 30th Sept for $400 guaranteeing seats within the first five rows, backstage and preshow passes, 3CD set etc ...

Is this legit ?

Cos I thought members got priority seating - not just the wealthy.

Bringing it to your attention so it can be fixed if it aint right - and if its right well then hey ...

Here's the number : 612 92664817

The " Paul Dainty people" ( promoter ) responded to this by saying that these exclusive vip tickets were leftovers from member tickets... ??

Sorry to spill it here but I have to.

Peace

PB

Oh and this just in as well : now there are tickets for sale through Dainty promotions for 1000 dollars - this includes a 'reception' with Prince ... um does prince know about this ? ...

Dainty Promotions also stated that there will be NO presales to club members ...

Code red



***



my 2 cents...




From AUSTRALIA - What's The G-O Paisley Park/NPGMC?...

U got a lot of worried members down here, r we just being impatient?

We're new 2 this, but we thought we might have heard some NEWZ by now.

Anybody home?

RONNY, GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA.

wtf? no pre sale to members you cant be serious!!!

what the hell is going on!!

dimmy

WTF there has 2 b a mistake, as it has been pointed out, members get pre-sale tickets and afterparty, they cant just change it couse of a different country

Don't believe PAUL DAINTY and co just yet guys, give NPGMC a lil' more time.

Sorry 4 scaring the SHHH outta u.

R.

dont do that man, i just about killed myself

It's going into a week now from the first announcement of this tour, and I tell u what i think I'd have to get laid just to release all this nervous energy. Im wound up tighter than an elastic band. Today I started to feel sick, from not sleeping from all the xcitement, im gonna crash & burn soon. I think I also felt sick hearing that recorded message say "$392", It was at that point I thought that I won't be able to go this event

Harlequin said:

Sorry dude.

It's late, I'm sick of surfin', yada yada yada...

R.

so who else is going cross eyed from sitting at the computer all day waiting for something to happen...?

and im still going bald from the stress of all this. after this is all over prince owes me a wig!!

ally85 said:

I think the computer is making me sick also, good point ally85

ally85 said:

hahaha, thanx ally, I needed that, gonna throw in the towel in 30 mins, maybe 2morrow will bring some NEWZ...

R.

yeah i think i need sleep too.
and the sooner i sleep the sooner i can wake up to all the good npg news! right...that theory always worked with christmas...

I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.

Sleep = good.

Endless surfin' = not as good.

R.

RonnyRon2000 said:

$150 for members = good

$392 until sold out = not as good

dnaplaya said:

LOL

true.

R.

no sleep for me tonight!

i think we have to start to realize there might be a chance that some of us might find it hard to get tickets up against the public. the buzz around the place is that there are alot of people wanting to go and if he is only doing one show and no member pre sale, i think there will be alot of us disappointed.
