I was talking to my boy and he was talking about how much money P will make this year, then he laughed at the fact that he's spent a nice little chunk on the Purple one. How much have you spent? Here's my list.

2 Tickets to the Simulcast of the Musicology Tour: $30

2 Tickets each for his 6/16-17/04 St. Paul Show: $300

1 Retail copy of Musicology: $10

1 Membership to tha NPGMC: $25

Total: $365

What's in your wallet?

i spent all of that plus I purchased about 4 DVDs, 2 albums/cds and about 10 tapes of his.







priceless.

I'm not sure what the total is but I know I've spent more money on Prince this year then I ever have IN MY LIFE!

Oooh. I'd rather not think about it either.
I cringe about the fact that I have to spend $5 to $6 on a magazine just to read one article (Bass Player, Guitar Player). Literally one article because I don't play bass or guitar.
But I gotta have it!!!!

Total (so far) - $1002.39

Damn! I didn't know it was that much....ouch! So that's how he paid for that new suit !

I wish I hadn't read this thread now!

If you spent that much for a poster I sure as hell hope you invest in a great frame to protect it. Damn.

I have spent:

$76.50 for one concert ticket for next Wednesday
$19.98 for two copies of Musicology retail.

So a grand total of $96.50. I bet in the late nineties I spent a thousand a year or more so I guess I'm officially over my obsession.

I just remembered I bought the Rolling Stone magazine for another $4.00 but I was boarding a plane and I would have bought a magazine regardless so I'm not sure if it counts.

not that much....i havent been in a prince mood this year...

Yep, it's been a pretty penny for me too. NPGMC membership and some purchases from the NPG store, The Filmore shows, the simulcast, the store bought CD, extra blank video tapes, magazines that have Prince on the cover, and tickets for the 9/9 and 9/10 shows. Luckily, my boyfriend is also a Prince fan, so we're going 50/50 on most stuff. After adding in the tour merchandise, I don't even want to guess what the total will be.
That's why my week long vacation will only consist of a day trip, most likely to the Napa Vineyards for some wine tasting. Make that LOT'S of wine tasting.

3 simulcast tix: $45

2 retail Musicology: $25

NPG downloads: $22.63

Feb. Fillmore show: $99

June San Jose shows: $150

Essence Fest: $172

plane fare, Essence Fest: $295

Sept. Oakland show: $75

Sept. San Jose show: $75
_____

so far that's $958.63 Plus I'll be @ any aftershows he decides to do in the Bay Area. DAMN, Prince gotta go to Europe so I can save some $$!!

DAMN, forgot about that! Add another $60

i used 2 have that problem. spending crazy amounts of money on my boy. i had 2 grow up though. 4 starters, i've kept up with everything, so when i run into something i don't have, i get it. i don't have 2 spend like crazy 2 "catch up". anyway, i love him don't get me wrong, but ugh... u know?

PRINCE is still a big deal though and every event i have access 2 will always be a special occasion. something i will not miss. i purchase tickets the moment they go on sale. PERIOD.

since he came 2 DALLAS, April 2nd, my $TOTAL is as follows:

$75 concert ticket
$50 another keychain, a hat
$75 for Friday, JUNE 11, DALLAS -front fuckin' row!!!!! seat 7

Um, I didn't but my boyfriend did. Counting all the incidentals, too? Sheesh. I don't have a price list, but here's the rundown.

Indianapolis - dinner, tickets for two, afterparty with drinks

Columbus - hotel room, dinner, tickets for two, afterparty with drinks

Cleveland - tickets for four, afterparty with drinks

Penn State - hotel room, dinner, tickets for two, t-shirt, drinks

Include in that gas from Cleveland to Indianapolis to Cleveland to Indianapolis to Columbus to Cleveland to Penn State to Indianapolis, plus food for all the times we were out of our home towns

One retail Musicology

And yet to come:

Washington DC - sleeper car on a train for two, food, tickets for two, and whatever else goes on afterwards!

Tricia

let's see...so far i've bought a total of eight tickets, three concert t-shirts, the retail version of that damn album (which i haven't spun once - i listen to one of my concert freebies), a ticket to the simulcast, a buttload of npgmc downloads, a whole heap of "purple rain" cocktails at berlin on prince night, and a partridge in a frikkin' pear tree.

No idea how much I spend... But I do live a HIGH LIFESTYLE. It's Gonna be Back when I get Better. I am So Pissed cause it woulda been Already if the Muther of a Doctor was any Good.

a grip...

Tickets to four shows inthe NY metro area

ticket to the RRHOF after party

That concert premiere thang int he movie theatre

The VAULT(720 pages of princes life for $60)

But the best deal was the 25 cents for the NYC video (i didn't attend)

$350 @ npgmc

$400 on miscellaneous Prince gear inc.New album, singles and vintage vinyl.

$300 on Jimi Hendrix gear (cds and LPs)

last year I blew a fortune on the Oz tour, inc. OfficialMerchandise, interstate flight and accomodation, 4 concerts, 1 club appearance, and 2 legendary aftershows - $2500, best money I've ever spent!!!!!

AUD$9.45 for Musicology

DON'T ask me about last year though

But hey. Prince $$$ are like shoe $$$, kind of worth less, so it's OK to spend more

Apparantly a better question is how much have you spent that you didn't have on Prince this year?

I mean how much have you charged and you are going to be stuck paying back with 20 percent interest for the next 15 years?
