Venue or no venue being the reason the ticket price is so "high", if u guys take the bite of paying $312.01 to go to this show, he will know that the demand is there and I can say without a doubt that $312.01 will be price for the best seats or GA area for his future concerts. If u truly "ca

Posted by Exdeus on the Quake. Like others, I received a call on April 14 notifying me that I had won a purple ticket in the second chance sweepstakes. According to the Universal Records rep, only one purple ticket was found in a CD. My guest and I flew out to LAX on Friday morning (May 5th).

I think the price is ridiculous. I am a 44 year old woman with a good job and good credit and I am not paying that price. What about your typical college student? How can they see a Prince show at that price? The man is giving us a message about who he wants his fanbase to be, because he has no

$312.01... For the uninitiated I will get you up to speed. Prince's website NPGMC announced that Prince was doing 2 shows Memorial Day weekend for $312.01 each show. This announcement immediate created a tremendous backlash amongst his fans. So I have been thinkin' about this $312.01 ticket pr

Its like all the sports franchises, the athletes and owners make crazy amounts of money, meanwhile the fans who cant afford luxury prices are shut out and only the rich or those with expendable income can go or the true fanatic who'll take out a second mortgage to fly around the world to see Prince

The thing is, at least with Madonna and U2, you get a pre-assigned *SEAT*... That is NO comparison to having to stand in line for hours only to get the chance to bumrush the stage and STAND ALL NIGHT in a crowd of 1,200 people, waiting for Prince to perform. $300+ for that? Helzzz naw

Hey Guys, Back from Cali. I just wanted to send out a personal thank you to Kelli for inviting me as her guest the the Purple ticket contest. The ride was wild (literally) and I'm glad I was fortunate enough to attend this event. Tired as hell, but after a Prince gig what do you expect. Ei

Just to play devil's advocate: If you had a product for sale and you sold it for $100 and then went onto a website like Ebay (or Stubhub) and you saw that same exact product being sold by the person who bought it from you for $300-$500 (and the product sold) wouldn't you say to yourself, well that

I understand what you are saying but then turning it around, why not sell it for $1000, there will always be a group of persons willing to pay any price. And in that case wouldn't someone who did buy it for $1000, go on Ebay and sell it for $1500 or more? You are still squeezing the consumer and so

The 3121 theme is just not cute. 31.21 for t-shirts, 31.21 for Tamar's show (which was a pretty good deal considering)... but 321.01 for a show... it means not only is the price high, but that Prince & co. are trying to be cute about it. I'm like, "twist the knife why don't you?" Somebody joki

If I had a product for sale and sold it for $100, the transaction would be complete. It's up to me to make sure all my costs and markup are covered when I sell my product. If I failed to price my item at a higher price, and the person who bought my product saw a way to do that, that's
