PRINCE IS OPENING MILWAUKEE'S SUMMERFEST ON 6/24. SUMMERFEST IS A 10 DAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL ON MILWAUKEE'S LAKESHORE HELD EVERY SUMMER. IT FEATURES A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSICAL STYLES HELD ON OVER 10 DIFFERENT STAGES FROM 11 A.M TO MIDNIGHT OVER THE 10 DAY PERIOD. PRINCE IS PLAYING THE MARCUS AMPHITHEATER A 23,000 SEAT VENUE. THIS IS NOT AN ARENA AND A CONCERT IN THE ROUND WOULD ALMOST SEEM INCONCEIVABLE IN THE AMPHITHEATER. TICKETS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC GO ON SALE AT 10 A.M ON SATURDAY 3/27. TICKET PRICES ARE LISTED AT $73.75, $48.75, $33.75.

FOR NPGMC MEMBERS: THE ODDS OF GETTING FAN CLUB TICKETS IN THE FRONT MIDDLE SECTION (SEC.2) OF THE MARCUS AMPHITHEATER IS PROBABLY SLIM TO NONE. THE MANY SPONSORS AND CONTRIBUTORS TO SUMMERFEST ARE GIVEN TICKETS IN THIS SECTION. THE LAST TIME PRINCE PLAYED THE AMPHITHEATER FOR SUMMERFEST, I RECEIVED TICKETS FROM THE FAN CLUB IN SECTION 1 , WHICH WAS LOCATED TO THE FAR LEFT OF THE STAGE. IT DIDN'T MATTER TOO MUCH TO ME BECAUSE I WAS THERE, BUT TO SEE THE MANY BIG WIGS AND NON FANS WHO WERE GIVEN FREE TICKETS IN THE MIDDLE SECTION WAS VERY UPSETTING.

Is your caps lock stuck on?

I'll be there!!!!! Loved the last Prince concert at Summerfest which was June 28th 2001. I was in row 18 and I had no problem seeing the performance because of the incline. I'm going to the Chicago show on June 25th (Summerfest is June 24th) and it will be interesting comparing the two concerts. Chicago will be in the round and it would be impossible for Milwaukee's show to be in the round being that it's outside.

I was going to go to the milwaukee show, that is until i seen this thread.

I'll be at the friday chicago show for sure.

That is if someone doesn't start a thread about it with the caps on.
