I just encountered this page with the current program for VIP ticket holders, and what struck me is how much isn't happening at Paisley Park but elsewhere.

.

There are also some things on that program that I don't recall seeing mentioned before:

.

- Purple Rain is shown at State Theatre, and is preceded by "Concert Footage".

.

- There is a "Broadway Musical Presentation" at State Theatre, again preceded by "Concert Footage".

.

Also, maybe it's me, but these "five days" are barely filled.

.

- Sunday and Monday both feature "Outdoor Live Music, Activities and Food Trucks at Paisley Park", and on Monday the only other activity is "Cruise on Lake Minnetonka". On Sunday there's a "Sunday Gospel Brunch". None of these things are directly Prince-related. Sure, on Sunday there's also "Exclusive Concert Footage", but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the same as the one from Thursday (and I'm hoping it is different from the footage being shown on Fri and Sat).

.

- Saturday: "Morris Day, NPG, and Prince Celebration Special Guests Concert": why is there no location mentioned? Considering that the rest of that day's activities are in Minneapolis and not at PP, I presume that concert isn't at PP.

I just wish they would make some of the celebration available online for those fans around the world that can't be at PP.

I agree, at least go live on instagram for some of the highlights.

Exactly, but they will never do that, because

1) It doesn't MakeMillions rich.

2) It is too expensive for them to create this

3) It might keep ticket buyers away

4) the fear of us bootlegging some shit

Bizzie, on Thursday there's also "Exclusive Listening Session (Unreleased Vault Material) at Paisley Park"

How exciting the .org community is (not) about this year's Celebration.

Aren't tickets usally sold out at this point?

Soft Sales??

Is it over priced or is it the programming?

For me, it's the price, $900, after taxes and insurance, is overpriced for not getting to hear unreleased music. Seeing the Revolution at First Avenue would be incredible. Saturday programming looks soild too. But the last 2 days not so much.

I'm wondering if it is priced so high due to Artist fees? 5 people in The Revolution and Morris, price tag is probably not cheap. I think getting The Time would have tipped the scale for me. But without them, VIP should have been $900-1000 and GA $500-600.
