Prince Concert 070207 04

While celebrities such as Chris Rock, Jessica Biel, Nicky Hilton, Michelle Rodriguez, and Eve probably had no problem shelling out at least $312 to see the purple one, some of Prince's non-celebrity fans had a few issues with the Roosevelt Hotel, and how they handled the concerts and the ticket sales.

Prince just cost me a thousand freaking dollars and I didn't even SEE the guy.

When I saw the announcement to email the Roosevelt for ticket details, I did so immediately. They emailed back an order form, which had to be sent back to them with:

My name
My credit card info
Preferred date
At least one alternate date.

It smelled funny, but I really wanted to see the show, and figured $312 was survivable, so I did it. They did say they'd contact me to confirm my order had been processed.

After a week went by with no word, I emailed them again, and got an out-of-office response stating that all the dates I wanted were already sold out. So much for that. I made other plans for Thursday & Friday.

More Prince concert drama, and more photos from the purple carpet are after the jump.

Then, on Wednesday I got a call at work from the Roosevelt stating they could get me in for the Thursday night show. But by now I'd made other plans, and anyways, it was too late to take Friday morning off work. I declined, and told them to cancel the order completely. No Prince for me this time around.

I went to pay my Amex bill today and noticed charges from the Hollywood Roosevelt. And not just for one ticket - three tickets, at $312.10 apiece. They charged me for two more tickets than I'd even asked for in the first place.

The Roosevelt hotel office didn't seem too broken up about and they said someone would get back to me maybe late next week.
