JUST ANOTHER THING THAT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

THIS IS SO UNETHICAL. ALONG WITH THE NEWLY APPOINTED, BACKSTABBING BOARD ADMNIS GETTING SPECIAL PERKS OTHER FANS DON'T GET, THIS PROVES THAT THE FAN CLUB IS A SCAM.

THERE'S SO MUCH CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT MUST BE REPORTED TO THE CALIF ATTY GEN. NOT JUST THE TICKET RIP OFF BUT ALL THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

SUCKS, BIG TIME !

I read the post and saw the photos everyone was talking about and in her own words, she said she was a runner. If you weren't familiar with the term, you wouldn't think twice about it. It is rather unusual for industry people to be buying tickets in a fan club presale. One of the things that used to drive me crazy when I worked shows were the comped "vip's" who always thought they were a little bit better than the rest of us because they got a free ticket to the shows. Even worse than them were the folks with laminates who thought the world should just fall at their feet because they had a laminate. Not all of them were like that though. And the really important people, well they didn't wear laminates most of them. Worst case, there are certain "vip" seats that are held back by the promoter that can be bought if no comps are available. Believe me, these seats are excellent and it can be done with a phone call as long as you know who to call. So I'll let you guys draw your own conclusions.

This is the conclusion I draw...

SHE IS A FRAUD OR THE WHOLE THING IS A FRAUD. WHY?

BECAUSE:

SHE POSTED ON MICK'S BOARD THAT SHE SCORED FIRST ROW SEATS THROUGH THE FAN CLUB.

SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER POSTED SHE GOT FRONT ROW IN THE FAN CLUB SALE.

HER POST WAS MADE THE SAME DAY OF THE FIRST PRE-SALE, WHEN EVEYONE ELSE SAID THEY COULDN'T GET GOOD SEATS NO MATTER HOW LONG OR HARD THEY TRIED.

IS THIS WHAT THE KNIGHT MEANT WHEN HE SAID PEOPLE HAD TO KNOW HOW TO "WORK THE SYSTEM"?

I don't know the person at all, and wouldn't call her a "fraud" but I do know she wasn't the only one to score front row seats in the fan club. One other member posted he scored front row tickets at two separate sales. Hey, if they did, I'm happy for them. It's how the rest of the sales went and the lack of info about the distribution that has been nothing but a mystery and a misery for the members.

Seek....what's the word on the DVD? Is it too good to be true, as I suspect it is? I would love to get one of the concert. Judging from all of your comments on this thread, it would seem that this Todd character is someone to be leary of.
Well, the Todd person does not seem to be our dearly beloved JTodd...he is a different person. Lives in Maryland. However, he has not responded to my emails nor have I received the dvd since I paid his sorry ass. $38.50. So, if he does not get that dvd to me soon or let me know what is up, I am going to get a refund from my credit card company for nondelivery of goods and he can eat that. All I want is the respect of a response and if he is kind enough to do so I will post it here, but, for now DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY.

OK, I stand corrected...ONE OTHER PERSON GOT FRONT ROW FROM THE FAN CLUB, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! My reaction to that is:

WHO DOES HE WORK FOR THEN?

IF SHE IS NOT A FRAUD (SHE'S AN ACTUAL FAN NOT CONNECTED WITH THE BAND, PROMOTER, WEBSITE TEAM OR ANYTHING ELSE,) THEN I APOLOGISE FOR POINTING THE FINGER, BUT SOMEONE SAID SHE ADMITS WORKING FOR THE PROMOTER.

IF ANYONE HAS MET THIS PERSON, I'LL TAKE BACK MY STATEMENT THAT SHE IS A FRAUD. UNTIL THEN...

HOW DO WE KNOW SHE EXISTS, OR WAS ACTUALLY A LEGIT FAN CLUB MEMBER, NOT PART OF JT'S STAFF IN THE FIRST PLACE?

WHAT I'M SAYING IS...

ALL THE INDICATIONS POINT TO THE FAN CLUB NOT BEING A LEGIT OPERATION.

IF IT WERE, ANONYMOUS MEMBERS WOULD HAVE AN EQUAL CHANCE AT TICKETS. THE GOOD SEATS WOULDN'T GO TO PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE ORGANIZATION.

MOST BUSINESS ENTERPRISES THAT INVOLVE PEOPLE GETTING SOMETHING BY CHANCE ARE USUALLY REQUIRED TO EXEMPT PARTICIPATION BY ALL WHO WORK FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND ALSO DISQUALIFY RELATIVES OF EVERYONE IN THE ORGANIZATION.

THIS CRAP KNIGHT WAS SPINNING THE DAY OF THE FIRST PRE-SALE ABOUT "KNOWING HOW TO WORK THE SYSTEM" IS A BUNCH OF BULL.

IF PEOPLE KNEW, FOR SURE, THE BEST SEATS DESIGNATED "FAN CLUB" FOUND THEIR WAY ONLY TO PEOPLE WHO HAD SOME CONNECTION TO THE BAND, PROMOTER, THE WEBSITE, RECORD LABEL, ETC...WOULD THAT SEEM RIGHT TO ANYONE?

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES THE BAND AND THE CONCERT PROMOTERS OWE FANS AN EXPLANATION

AND

AN AUDIT, OR ACCOUNTING THAT DISCLOSES HOW, WHY, AND WHO GOT THE BEST FAN CLUB SEATS?

Bingo. The fact that there is no rule to that effect anywhere in sight is very disconcerting, and speaks volumes about the true motives of the fan club. Jackie and Trinity are now official fan club affiliates, are they not? Any reputable club would not allow them the "perks" of front row seats and rehearsal trips, *especially* with all of the controversy surrounding the presale. Hundreds of fanclub members are upset and vocal about not getting the seats they were promised, so what does the fanclub do? Ignores the uproar AND gives two of its affiliates tickets to the rehearsal and god knows what else. Something smells very, very rotten.

There were actually two besides "Sarabella": Luke got front row for Columbus through the club, and Tiff got front row for one of the CA shows. To my knowledge, both are your average fans with no connections to the club. These are the *only* two that I know of who got front row, and I don't know of anyone who got second row, third row, fourth row, fifth row, etc. from the club.

Actually, by their own admissions, they are both industry people. They have said so on their posts on Mick's board. I'm not trying to stir up trouble by posting this just stating what they have stated in their own posts. Maybe this is just a coincidence. Maybe they do things differently in their cities. What I do know is that here, if you want to go to a show and you work in the industry you call someone for tickets.

I would also like to reiterate that one person got front row tickets not once but twice.

IF THIS IS TRUE, THE FAN CLUB'S A FRAUD LIKE I'VE SAID ALL ALONG, OR THE PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT MEMBERSHIP ARE LYING ABOUT HOW THEY GOT TICKETS. EITHER WAY, MICK'S BOARD IS BEING USED TO PRESENT A FRAUDULENT VIEW OF HOW THE FAN CLUB OPERATES AND HOW GOOD SEATS ARE OBTAINED. THIS IS WRONG, UNETHICAL, AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

DOES ANYONE THINK THIS WOULD BE LEGAL IF LOTTERY WINNINGS ONLY WENT TO PEOPLE WHO WORKED FOR THE POWERBALL?

IF CASINO JACKPOTS ONLY WENT TO CASINO AND HOTEL EMPLOYEES, OR THEIR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES, WOULD THIS BE OK?

IF A BIG RAFFLE WERE HELD AND THE ONLY WINNERS WERE SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO THE SPONSOR OF THE RAFFLE, WOULD IT PASS THE SMELL TEST, OR WOULD SOMEBODY BE IN BIG TROUBLE?

SINCE I DON'T GO TO THAT BOARD ANYMORE, I NEVER SAW THEIR POSTS. IF THEY ARE STILL THERE, WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME THE THREAD OR POSTING A LINK HERE? I DON'T WANT TO TALK OUT OF TURN IF THESE POSTS ARE NO LONGER AROUND, BUT IF THEY ARE, WHY ISN'T ANYONE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS?

Default FAN CLUB FRAUD

As of last month I sent emails to anyone I could get an email address to complaining about fraud fan club. Not only as I mentioned before did they take my 11 year old daughters also. This was purchased only because the KNIGHT said only 4 tickets per venue, we needed 6 so therefore bought 2 sorry fan club memberships. Not true at all I talked with others who bought up to eight tickets during fan club pre-****ty sale with 1 membership.
I came unglued on other site and ask them how in the hell could they justify cheating an 11 year old out of her $60.00. I want to gag now thinking back on the 2 slugs in control over there e-mailed my daughter telling her how sorry they were about her not getting good seats. Maybe your mommy can take you to another venue and you will get better seats there sweety, as I recall their comments.

LIES LIES LIES!!! All of the bull crap they put out to us!! At least my STEVIE (11 year old I mean 12 as of May 25) knows now what the real world is about. Money grubbing PIGS and you must watch closely for them during your life I told her.

As of today I have heard nothing from fan club about refund!! Oh I take that back Trinity said about a month ago he would work on it and see what he could do. LOL I believe that when PIGS fly!! The upside is I did use credit card to purchase memberships with and I filed complaint with credit card company and charges were taken off as of now. That was about a month ago and I was told if fan club doesn't dispute reversal of charges within 45 days then I am home free. I have never been so disgusted with a concert pre sale in my whole life........I couldn't even listen to CD for 3-4 days I was so pissed about all the lies we were told. I was almost not even going to go to concert over the whole fiasco. I took some time cooled off and said to myself would Stevie, Lindsey and John really intentionally do this to their fans. No I don't think so for 1 minute. But I hope they catch on soon and get rid of JT he is giving band a bad rep. OK-Landslide

Thanks for the update on the DVD situation from Todd #2, Seeknpeace. Sounds like he may be a chip off the block of Todd #1. Let's hope he pulls through. $38.50 is a lot for it. If it's good quality though, I'll pay it.

Ouch, that is painful.

This is an interesting site too:

http://www.digitraxx.com/mainloopcd.html

Did you know you can get the Ilona CD and Mick's Total Drumming as part of a package deal? Also, if you go to the link at this site for more information about the Ilona CD, there's a long quote from JT touting the CD without mentioning that it's his wife. That's why I was confused at first. Isn't this false advertising? Certainly misleading.
