Prince is playing the Fox in Atlanta next week. The show was announced yesterday. Tickets went on sale at noon today. I didn't have time to get online to get any. Out of curiosity, I checked when I got home, and tickets were still available.
And they started around $500. And went up as high as $86,000. I'm really hoping that was a typo. Otherwise, I think you should either get to duet with him for the duration of both shows- or he goes down on you. Or both.
