I'm sorry I didn't realize it's the norm to lie in order to get people to pay you money for fanclub membership. Did I expect them to hand me front row center seats for $2 just because I signed up for the fanclub? No. But they are expected to do everything that is listed as a benefit of being a member on the page where you sign up. They did not get sales before the general public because the hotseat sales started at the same time as the fanclub presale. Offering a particular list of services or item to people who pay a membership fee and then not going through with half of it, and with half of what they did come through with also offering it to nonmembers for free is basically fraudulent. End of story.

A couple of points.

People have already made this one, but just because other fanclubs do it doesn't make it right. The other 2 I'm in do not function like this at all - and the bands are big enough to be able to get away with it. Also, I think Gail said that the best fanclub seats she'd ever got were 7th row. Well on their last cross-Canada tour I got 2nd row seats for 2 shows using the cc/olp.net presale - having paid absolutely no money for the priviledge of doing so.

Also Gail, I think it's pretty rich of you to say that being right at the front doesn't matter when I've seen you with my own eyes walk right to the front of a queue of people who had been there for a long time before you just to make extra sure that you got your place right on the barrier in front of Raine.

Fan clubs pre-sales does not gurantee Great Seats. the pre-sale only means you have the opportunity of purchasing tickets before the general public does.

With the HOTSEAT tickets. They are diong that for INXS also. A few of my friends also told me that they have to pay upwards of a few hundred dollars to get in the first two rows( this is fan club members) about $200 for rows 3-15 and a little less for other tickets. ( wiht the clubs they were in)

What you experienced with the pre-sale is normal for most fan club pre-sales..

You have the choice of buying what is offered to you or not.. You made the decision..

I do not know anyone who was in a fan club get GREAT SEATS ( first 2 rows)in a pre-sale.. Closest I ever got was 7th row..

I've gotten first 3 rows in every fan presale I've ever used

... did you mean to intend that pun?

err, reference?

hahaha

The Greedy Bastards Club presale was a joke. The only seats that I could find were upper level seats.

good catch. but it was the time of my life. i mean, who gets to walk to the bar with members of d. usher's band? and drink with them for a bit? it was pretty pretty sweet. and completely random.

I think they got that backwards.

what the....

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 3/10/2006, 12:48 am

wow, if that's right...

it might mean that they're giving away free memberships with tickets.

Which means that anyone who got a membership before got COMPLETELY screwed, by paying for their original membership plus the ticket. Bascially $25 for one presale opportunity (which turned out to be crap anyways).

I really hope Chart got that wrong.
