*SCALPER CONTROLS – Change In Membership Rules:
The membership agreement to the Fan Club provides for changes and additions to Club rules and all members agree to accept such changes. Accordingly – to protect all members the following change is effective immediately:
“Tickets purchased through Fan Club programs are for personal use only and are not for resale. Violation of this policy is grounds for immediate termination without refund.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I recieved that too. I highly doubt that will deter any scalpers. The fanclub will not be monitoring eBay or independent broker websites to enforce it. As it is the so-called staff doesn't take the time to answer e-mails from members with questions/concerns/technical problems with the system. Yet again, sounds like the club is just issuing lip-service to protect itself.
Did they ever resolve the issue of people having their memberships hijacked if they happened to use a login identical to their message board names?
Perhaps they should add a "fan club tickets also may not be used to bribe members or pay off moderators" addendum, while they're at it
