Prince’s Reported Coachella Price: $4.8 Million

4/11/08, 12:20 pm EST

To headline Saturday night of Coachella, Prince reportedly commanded a royal fee: $4.8 million. That’s even more than what Middle Eastern countries give Michael Jackson to show up. “Prince was a late, late addition to the line-up,” a source tells Perez Hilton. “The promoters added him to try and sell more tickets and make up for a less than stellar — in comparison to years past — roster of performers.” The expensive acquisition paid off, as tickets for Saturday sold out less than twenty-four hours after the announcement. The Coachella performance will be the Purple Rain star’s first visit to the nine-year-old event in Indio, California.

Uh, Sorry….show was not sold out. I walked up to the ticket booth to get tickets at 5 P.M Saturday and they said they had tons of tickets left for sale.

Coachella likes to say they “SOLD OUT” but all they really did was sell out of their “SINGLE-DAY PASSES” which is still a lie.

prince may not be at the top of his game when it comes to songwriting but he is still the best live performer to ever walk the face of the earth

Jeff, honestly. If that’s how you feel, you’re really better off skipping Coachella altogether. If you go, there’s a very serious chance that you might actually realize what decade this is.

I’m not saying the quoted figure is right or wrong, but if you’re pulling any information from Perez Hilton, you haven’t gone nearly far enough in your research. It’s akin to getting income tax advice from Nickelodeon.

Jeff? What the hell does that mean? On any level?

The Purple One needs to get over his ego. He isn’t worth that much.
