Is That Where All Your Money Goes?: Prince Gives Something Back To Those Willing To P

[GlenM]

Diminutive, platform-heel-sporting rock genius Prince will indeed be bringing his traveling funk circus to Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel. And as was initially hinted at when news of the residency first broke, dinner plus an audience with demonschlonged royalty will cost die hard fans an Amount Formerly Known As A Lot:

For possibly the last time in Los Angeles, the royal purple carpet will be rolled out for his Hollywood homecoming and the artist has chosen the legendary hotel for seven exclusive, intimate performances commencing Saturday, June 23rd, 2007. [...]​

Following every two-hour performance, fans can experience a late-night impromptu jazz set presided over by Prince.VIP packages, including dinner at the Dakota (tax, alcohol, and gratuity excluded), will be limited to 130 seats, sold in pairs (65) for $3121.00. An additional 70, standing room only tickets will be made available for $312.10 each.​

We'd caution not to fall for the "possibly the last time" business-- a transparent tactic more typically employed by lesser, Farewell Tour whores like Barbara Streisand and Cher. If the price seems a little steep, at least it playfully incorporates Prince's latest obsession--the number 3121. The inclusion of an additional, highly spiritual zero before the decimal, meanwhile, will result in access to the ultra-exclusive after-after-party, where guests will be waited upon by a harem of veiled, pseudo-virgin backup dancers in the Horny One's sprawling, private suite.
