Well it's 10:48 pm, PST Wednesday. I read the Aussie's expressions of disappointment regarding the concert prices in the "U Tell Us" forum within the past hour. (well put by Mr. Despues, I might add) They are now gone....of course this is not a surprise.

And if we keep up the criticisms and complaints, they're just gonna pack up all their toys and go home like they did after the response to "The Cause" e-mail. They'll fix OUR wagons.

unbeliavable.

it's ok...i'm procrastinating on my homework...i've got nothing better to do than heckle them...

i cant believe this.

im this close to giving up.

People were really upset about ticket prices and packages, most were hurt and disappointed. I did the USD conversions...$675, $276 and $116. That is a lot of money for most people...The $276 one (VIP) seems to be the best value for me (the extra $400 seems to be only to meet Prince) but that is a hell of a lot of money.

No one was poking fun at Prince or questioning his motives like with "The Cause" email. Not that I'm justifying NPGMC closing up shop over that, because it was a far weirder thing.

Ok wait a minute...now Mr.Despues' thread is back up! Am I seeing things???

The one about send back your bootleg CD's...did you get it a few months ago?

the threads are back up, perhaps after they read my thread as follows:


"How very unfair to delete the free expression of reasonable thoughts from your NPGMC members.

U Tell Us? WE TELL YOU, more like!"

Actually, take a look around tonight, both here and over on the club site...there's a lot of poking fun, and there is a lot of questioning of motives.

And wait till tomorrow. Oh, it's gonna be another one of those weeks...whee!

Anxiety said:

Ok well I guess I didn't read all of them. Yes it's gonna be a week to remember in Prince history.

"How he drove away even more fams for the 2nd time in 2003"

if i send them a few bootlegs u reckon they'l knock a couple of $100's off the VIP ticket?
