Post by: lenor on June 07, 2007, 08:06:21 PM
i just read that you have to pay to be in the gnr fan club. is that how it is with all fan clubs? i have never been in one thats why i am asking, and do you get lots of perks out of it, i read that velvet revolver invited there fan club to a making of a video. i am not expecting anything like that, but i am  wondering what do you get for your money.

What are you talking about?

You can't pay to be in the fan club right now since there isn't an active one.

You gotta pay to be in the Metallica MetClub to. I think its a bit silly but thats the way it is.
Lets just hope Guns open theirs soon.

I know you used to have to pay to be in Prince's fan club, probably still do too.

But Prince had perks to being in the fan club, he would release songs on the internet available to fan club members, and club members had access to advance tickets (good seats too, not lame ass nosebleeds or lawn seats for inland invasion).

Hopefully GNR will do something like that too

GN'R had a fan cub 10-15 years ago..Wish I still had the stuff they sent. I think there was a membership card and a few useless pamphlets. Not much insight on the band musically but I recall one w/ info on Duff and BMX bikes..Also it was not periodically and all of a sudden it just stopped coming..

With big bands it is normally the case, im in the Aerosmith one and for that i got a Tshirt a badge a dvd discount in the shop a patch and also the main reason for buyin access to tickets for hyde park that allow fans early access to get to the front. I think the cost overall was ?40-?50

I can think of a few things the three hot firls from Hanson can do to entice me to join their fan club.

Oh yeah!

i was in the aerosmith fan club when I was younger just for the ticket thing.  I sat 4th row center at MSG.  GnR should set something like that up.

This is very normal for larger bands.  Some range in price depending on many factors.

I belong to NIN fan club and it was about 65 CAN for prem but it includes a members only t-shirt, early access to the concert, sound check ect.  A few months back Trent brought the fans to a small room before the show served pizza and pop and played the entire "Year Zero" cd for them a few months before it came out. 

Pre-sale tickets are also a big part of the package.  Being able to have access to tickets before the Gen pop is a nice perk as well.
