Today we thought we’d share the requests some of their male counterparts make. Spoiler alert! Turns out the boys are just as prissy as the girls, but we bet you already guessed that from your hours and hours of watching Gossip Girl.

According to <a href="http://gothamist.com/2008/10/13/prince_plays_hotel_gansevoort.php">Gothamist</a>, tickets hovered around $1000, and the four-hour (two show) rich-people-only soiree featured Prince singin' the hits. <p>Plus, we hear he tweaked the lyrics to "1999" to reflect the current economic crisis. Oh, that jokester. Maybe instead of "two thousand zero zero party over oops out of time" it was "my bank account's at zero hey buddy do you have a dime?" Har har. <p>We were gonna take a stab at the audience members who forked over so much cash to see a concert (Dave Chappelle, Anderson Cooper, Dennis Rodman, and Spike Lee among them), but then Jenna 2008-10-14T10:12:46-05:00 40.7401646 -74.005914 Hollywood: Prince's First Concert at Hollywood Roosevelt Doesn't Include You and Your Friends http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/6/24/211236/631

While we skulked around Hollywood Boulevard just as Prince's first show at the Hollywood Roosevelt was about to start, the LA Times was inside, walking the purple carpet amongst "200 beautiful people" and sitting three feet away from Prince as he jammed throughout the night. And it was a long night.

The paper reports that Prince didn't show up for the later, more intimate jazz session until 4am. But despite some sound problems (the LA Times blames that on the hotel's Blossom Room which was "expected in a room that's also been used for bar mitzvahs"), the night went off without a hitch.

With the announcement of Prince's intimate concerts at the Hollywood Roosevelt yesterday, we are sure the email hotline they released (3121HRH@ThompsonHotels.com) has been burning up with ticket requests.

A good Friend of HotelChatter, who is a bit naive in thinking that she will actually be able to acquire these coveted tickets without any sort of celebrity attachment, emailed her request for Prince tickets yesterday. We're live on the scene with her story.
