Win tickets to see Prince in NYC on October 10! COMPETITION CLOSED




prince.org and Housequake.com are honored to present an extra special opportunity for you this week.

We can't spoil all the surprises (heck, we don't KNOW half the surprises!), but if you are in the NYC area and if you want to see an amazingly intimate performance by Prince, then you need to enter this contest.

To enter this contest, please send an orgnote to me (Anxiety) with the following information:

a) Your proper name
b) Your contact telephone number
c) Your email address
d) A reason why the fickle finger of (sister) fate should point in your direction this week (keep it brief, folks...remember, I gotta read all these!)

(and yes, you have to include ALL this info for your entry to be valid...be lucky i don't take points off for spelling! whip )

One more important matter: ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PER SITE.

If you enter both here and on HQ, that's fine, though it does not mean you can win twice. If you enter multiple times on either site, you are at risk of being disqualified. And it's REALLY annoying. So don't do it! no no no!

And another helpful FYI, folks who live in the NYC area are going to have a better chance than those who don't. If you are not local to the area but can prove without a shadow of a doubt that you will be in NYC this weekend, we will consider your entry.

In short: If you have any doubt you can be there, DON'T ENTER. no no no!

The contest ends at 12.00pm noon ET tomorrow (Thurs. Oct. 9) and winners will be announced on HQ and the .org later tomorrow afternoon...so get busy - Times a'wasting!

UPDATE: The contest is now closed and winners are being chosen. Thanks everyone for entering the contest, and if you don't win this one, participate in the ".org and HQ's Infinite Contest" thread for your chance to be part of the evening's intimate aftershow performance!

Oh, and one more detail:

The .org and HQ will each be picking two lucky winners.

The four winners will each be able to bring a guest to the show.


Good luck. smile

I just want to say that this is an incredible opportunity being provided by an artist's unofficial fan site that must have cost them much time and effort and I think all members here and at housequake.com should consider how lucky we are to be presented such a special gift by a team so clearly devoted to the fan community.

You guys rock.

not to be all whitney about it, but SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS.

seriously. if you don't live in the NYC area and you're chosen as a winner, we will need PROOF that you are already scheduled to be in NYC on the 10th.

sorry to be so hardcore about it, but we really can't risk having anyone flake out on an opportunity like this. once we announce winners, we want to feel secure that those winners can make it to the gig.

plus, with all the love prince has given the west coast and the midwest over the past few years, i think it would be fitting to let the locals in NYC have some fun with the man, don't you?

i'm not saying out-of-towners won't be considered...but if you get picked, we'd better feel REALLY confident that you have a flight picked out and you're on your way.

not sayin'. just sayin'. neutral

Just out of curiosity, did Prince (or folks in his camp) have anything to do with this contest?

I think for a lot of us, it would be nice to know that--after the PFU fiasco and the YouTube take-downs--Prince is actually making gestures of goodwill toward his fans through his top fan sites.

Can any moderators (e.g., Anx) give details?

Not to worry. Prince and his camp are all over this like leopard print on my Aunt Irma.

How could they not be?
