The concert evening is called “theEvent” and it’ll be held Feb. 4 — yes, on Super Bowl weekend — in “theEvent Tent Complex” – aka what once was Reunion Arena. The evening will feature, in addition to music by his Purple Fabulousness, “art, food, spirits and more.” Entertainment will also include music from Goss-Michael Foundation winners — and special guests “to be announced.”

The catch is that this is not your usual concert, even for Prince. It’s a fundraiser for the Goss-Michael Foundation. So a single ticket is $1500 — that gets you general admission, open bar and food stations. A “VIP Nest for Six” contribution of $12,000 gets you VIP admission, reserved lounge-style seating for six and a dedicated server. And a “Head Table for Ten” contribution of $25,000 includes VIP admission, stage-side seating for 10 and a dedicated server.

Reservation opportunities are TBA — check in with www.Twitter.com/theEventDallas.
