Prince’s Paisley Park Tickets: $38.50 Tour Tickets Go On Sale Friday


Prince’s Paisley Park home and recording studio is such a popular and pivotal place that the late singer and recording artist’s home is being opened to the world. Prince even had a song named “Paisley Park,” with lyrics that sang about the magic of Paisley Park. Now Prince fans will get to see and tour Paisley Park up close and personally, just like Elvis fans are able to tour Graceland, as well as marvel over the late singer’s items.

Paisley Park will open to the public for daily tours beginning Thursday, October 6. Bremer Trust announced the Paisley Park tours on Wednesday. The Paisley Park tours will be run by Graceland Holdings.

It won’t be the first time that Prince fans have been allowed to enter Prince’s Paisley Park home, which is a 65,000-square-foot complex.

According to the AP, Prince let his fans inside Paisley Park Studios on October 24, 2015. Each person had to pay $10 in order to get inside of Prince’s late-night gig that night, which lasted until 3 a.m.

Eerily, Prince fans will also be inside the same Paisley Park home where Prince died inside an elevator. Toxicology reports uncovered that Prince’s death was due to an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl. His body was discovered in Paisley Park on April 21.
