2001 Prince Event Appraisal

Prince - A Celebration at Paisley Park Studios Admission Tickets and Receipts (June 11-17, 2001)

This item consists of two paper tickets or receipts for 'Prince - A Celebration' held at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, from June 11-17, 2001, between 10 AM and 4 PM. Each ticket is approximately 2.5 inches in width and about 6 inches in length, although the full length is not entirely visible. They are made of standard ticket stock paper, featuring a white background with various text and colored stripes in red, green, and orange/beige hues. The design includes a multi-layered effect, with some text appearing to be printed directly on the white stock, and other sections laid over colored horizontal bars. The tickets clearly state 'PRINCE - A CELEBRATION' and '"THE RAINBOW CHILDREN"', indicating the theme or associated album for the event. One ticket explicitly mentions '71.50 GENERAL ADMISSN' and 'GENADM G01 393 A', suggesting it's an actual admission ticket with specific numerical identifiers, including 'SPC 6X' and 'G01 393'. The other fragment appears to be a receipt or a portion of a larger transaction document, detailing 'RECEIPT EMPRINCE' and various transaction values such as 'TOTAL TRANS TCKT FACE VAL', 'TOTAL TRANS CONV CHRG.', 'HANDLING FEE', 'TOTAL TRANS FACILITY FEES', 'CREDITCARD REPROCESS FEE', and 'TOTAL TRANSACTION VALUE'. This receipt also has a 'VOID' section. Both items show some wear consistent with age, including slight discoloration and minor creasing. The printing is clear for the most part, though some areas are less legible due to the resolution of the image. The materials indicate mass production typical of event ticketing. The historical context positions these as memorabilia from a significant event for fans of the artist Prince, offering a tangible link to an experience at his iconic Paisley Park Studios.
