So Join the Fanclub or NOT?

Janet · #1 03-04-2003, 11:19 PM

What should one do?

I don't know if I should join, and if I joined Saturday like is that too late?

I really need some advice, what is the best thing to do?

sulamith · #2 03-04-2003, 11:22 PM

go ahead and join, Janet.

It looks like we have to fend for ourselves for tickets, and I say anything that gives you an advantage is worth it.

You only live once, girl!

on if your local venue you could/should join...It would probably help people in the ticketmaster.com venues but it probably won't help the folks whose venues are serviced by tickets.com

So like a friend of mine in Savannah,GA (I know 2 people who live there..) says (And both people I know there say the same thing...lol) "Ya only live once...Go for it!!!" Brian "Just go for it" J.

Well, us Savannah Folks are just unique and special, aren't we?

!

FM doesn't know what they're missing by skipping this town, lmao!

How do you find out which venues are serviced by ticketmaster and which by tickets.com?

estranged4life · #6 03-04-2003, 11:50 PM

there is only a few cities whose arenas who are serviced thru tickets.com:

Oklahoma City (Thanks again Garth!)
Oakland
Buffalo

Almost everyone else is through ticketmaster....Brian J.

ps-I also know that the women in Savannah are beautiful...

sulamith · #7 03-04-2003, 11:58 PM

Hey thanks for the info, Brian. That's a relief to know, you flatterer! lol! Maybe it's all the Spanish moss (and red bugs)!

That's why I know Stevie would fit right in, wouldn't she?

-Sharon

PS - All this news and tour buzz has us all acting stupid! hee heh hee!

FAN CLUB PRESALE #1:

The following list shows the cities that will go on sale to the public on
March 15th and 17th. (MORE CITIES AND MORE PRESALES COMING SOON! WE'LL
NOTIFY YOU AS SOON AS DETAILS ARE FINAL!)

If you want to purchase tickets in any of THE FOLLOWING cities, you will be
given the chance to pre-order tickets BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND IN
RESERVED AREAS JUST FOR FAN CLUB MEMBERS on:

MARCH 13 - 14!

================================
March 15th Public on sale Dates (Club Pre-Sale March 13-14)

Washington DC – MCI Center
Pittsburgh, PA – Mellon Arena
Cleveland, OH – Gund Arena

Buffalo, NY – HSBC Arena (NO CLUB PRESALE HERE YET - NOT A TICKETMASTER
VENUE - WE'LL ADVISE IF WE CAN DO A PRESALE HERE)

Atlantic City, NJ – Boardwalk Hall Arena
Philadelphia, PA – First Union Center
Boston, MA – Worchester Centrum

March 17th Public on sale Dates
Columbus, OH – Schottenstein Center
Uniondale, NY – Nassau Coliseum
E. Rutherford, NJ – Continental Arena
Chicago, IL - Allstate
Los Angeles, CA – Staples Center
Anaheim, CA – Anaheim Pond
===============================
GENERAL INFO ABOUT THE PRESALE: Here are some facts about the presales we
will hold:

1. You'll get an email at least 24 hours before ALL presales from the fan
club with instructions on how to order and links to the presale site.

2. You will see other presales out there. DON'T FRET! You're safe! The
other presales you see are generally VENUE sales. The venue has the right
to offer their season ticket holders and other VIP's advance sales. THESE
DON'T AFFECT YOU AS THEY CANNOT ENTER YOUR CLUB RESERVED BLOCK OF
TICKETS!

3. We will run presales for Ticketmaster venues unless otherwise noted.
That's most of the shows. Venues that do not support Ticketmaster sales
are handled on a case-by-case basis. Our concern is that alternate systems
protect the integrity of the password system and that the non-Ticketmaster
system can provide our members with access to our special blocks through
their computer systems. If we can't guarantee a smooth operation that
protects members, prohibits non-members from entering and guarantees our
members get to select tickets from our reserved (darn fine seats) block -
we won't run the presale. This is for your safety and peace of mind.

4. We have (at some great effort) secured for our members at least 600
seats in the best 20% of the house - on the floor - beginning in the VERY
FIRST ROW and going back to about the 30th row in most venues. We have a
lot of members but we have a lot of shows! I can't think of a better way
to enhance your chances of getting a great seat at the show of your choice
than through this membership. IN ADDITION TO THE BLOCK for members, you
get a chance to select from ALL THE GENERAL PUBLIC SEATING BEFORE THE
GENERAL PUBLIC ONSALE!!!! This means you're virtually assured of a seat at
the concert of your choice by being a Fan Club member!

5. Here's how the presale will work in general: You can only purchase
presales via the internet. No phone orders. You'll be buying directly
from Ticketmaster. The club adds no charges (YAY!) and we earn no income
from your ticket purchases. The whole concept is to enable superfans the
chance to get up close and be assured of getting to a concert near you!
We'll email you a link at least 24 hours before the presale. You'll also
get the times of the presale start and close. It's first come-first served
so you want to come in when "the doors open" to get the best choices.
HOWEVER - you can get disqualified and lose your chance to participate in
the presale if you enter BEFORE THE OFFICIAL PRESALE BEGINS. So be sure to
read the time, adjust for your time zone, and don't jump the gun. You may
purchase up to 4 tickets per concert and only up to 20 tickets per member
per tour. You'll get more info on all the details soon! Stay Tuned and
keep visiting the INSIDER NEWS at the Club for frequent updates.

hopefully they will add OKC as a fanclub presale (But just like Buffalo-Not a ticketmaster venue...But the Dixie Chicks did do a fanclub presale here in OKC thru tickets.com so maybe those fans may luck out!!!) for a few people I know who wish to have better seats than the ones they purchased today...Brian J.

I'm apart of the fan club now and I just saw all the footage which was cool but I couldn't really see a whole lot.
