What's up with Prince?
 

He recently played San Francisco but you had to have an American Express platinum card or something like that just to buy a ticket. And now a week of shows for a mere $3121, and you can't buy a single or an odd number of tix.

scary isn't it....?

i kind of dig it. it's like.. bring a friend. if i was in the area and had the money, i'd go.

watching prince play guitar is quite enjoyable.

^^It would definitely be a cool experience if one could afford it. Does Prince play regular shows anymore? Whenever I hear about one of his shows it's some high priced thing.

For $1 million, he'll play your birthday party...this happened the same weekend as the Republic of Texas Biker Rally - that's why they referenced the motorcycles...

Prince revs up the Belmont

About 300 lucky Austinites got to hear Prince — yes, Prince — play "Little Red Corvette" and other faves at a private party at the Belmont on West Sixth Street on Saturday.

The spectacular shindig, thrown by Austin philanthropist couple John McHale and Chris Mattson, was originally going to feature just Grupo Fantasma, who've become the Purple One's favorite band in recent months. But throw in a rumored million dollars, and you also get Prince, who fronted Grupo on eight or nine songs, including a James Brown workout that dwarfed the sound of all those motorcycles. He also slayed the delirious crowd with a solo acoustic version of his trademark "Corvette."

Prince reportedly flew back to Las Vegas right after the set.

I don't think he has since the Musicology tour ended. I could be mistaken because I'm not all up on my Prince knowledge.. but I believe that was the last bout of "normal", pretty-much-anybody-can-go shows.


Oh. Edit. There was supposed to be a series of shows in London.. tickets were 31.21 pounds a piece.. I don't know if he's done those yet or not.

He did shows in Vegas at the Rio for a few months recently and I think tickets were around $175.

Tickets for the Minneapolis show are $125 for lower level.
