Official GN'R fan club at gunsnroses.com

The worst part is that this was all advertised as exclusive and you can get all of those item's anywhere.

If that is the case, then it steps over legal boundaries in alot of countries, which is not good.

I am sure the powers that be will orchestrate an acceptable conclusion to the matter, and ensure this does not happen again.

No offense but I'm not worried about it happening again, I'm worried about the time it's happening to me.

I read on the official forum that the shirt in the picture isn't the correct one....

Oh good!! Thank you for that info. After you posted this, I went to poke around and saw the same response you're talking about. They didn't post any pics, but I guess we'll all know soon enough, seems like all the packages will arrive this week.

Much as I dislike being the bearer of disappointing news, I'm afraid to say that my fan club membership package arrived this morning and the items are exactly as per the photo on the previous page of this thread. I didn't have high expectations to start with but this has plumbed the depths, I mean, seriously, an AFD cross t-shirt?! Perhaps the merchandise contract should have been contracted out to ASHBA Swag, at least we might have received something slightly more interesting.

[ITARocker]

That's the right way to focus more on the new band 

[gunns1]

Don't worry, ground control said they'll be rectifying this situation and are in talks with GnR's management, so im sure they'll compensate those who paid for the premium package.

[volcano62]

We will be getting CD shirts...someone dropped the ball here and it has nothing to do with the band.

Allow me to relay a story about GNR and Ground Control that is very relevant here.  First let me say that while I did not attend any of the west coast UCAP shows (sadly), I did attend the NYC UCAP shows and for the most part (in terms of what Ground Control's responsibility was) things went off without a hitch.  True, there was the uncertainty of whether or not you needed hard tickets, but in the end I think everyone was happy.  I also attended the Vegas shows on NYE.  And here we have issues.  Now I'm not sure if some fo the issues there were their fault or not so I won't go into them.  If you're interested in those other issues let me know.  But for now let's talk about the T-shirt that came with that event.  Now in all fairness to GNR and Ground Control, when you purchased the item on the site all it said was that it comes with a GNR shirt.  And in all fairness, I received a GNR shirt for each package I purchased (3 in total - went to both nights, had a guest on one night).  However one would think that at the very LEAST, the shirt we received for these packages would have the Vegas date on them since that was the events we were purchasing!  Not only that, but we were told by Ground Control staff at the shows that the shirts we were going to receive would be exclusive shirts designed for the New Year's shows.  The shirts everyone received were just regular shirts available at the merch stand that night.  True, some people received shirts with the Vegas dates on them, but these weren't exclusive or anything since they were available at the stand that night for anyone to buy.  I would have been happy with that, but I received shirts (also available that night) that didn't even have the Vegas dates!  I contacted Ground Control many times and was ultimately told that I got what was promised to me, which is technically true.  Not satisfied with that (and by the way I am not the only one who was not happy with all this) I contacted Fernando and Beta about it.  Well I heard back from Fernando, offering to rectify the situation.  I sent him my address but never heard back yet.  Now don't get me wrong, the meet and greet was awesome and the band fucking rocked as always, but still it would be nice if all these shirt issues get resolved.

Fernando informed me via Facebook that the shirt was a mistake.

Fernando informed me via Facebook that the shirt was a mistake.

And.... ? Is there any concrete info as to how and when this will be rectified?

[willow]

For those of you that know me, you know I never complain about this kind of thing. I always figure you get what you get. But if this isn't fixed I am going too be pissed. lol Sorry gnr but this was a huge mistake. How the hell does something like this get past the powers that be? I already have a crappy tee like that and never wear it. lol Anyway I am sure Fernando or someone is on this and will get it fixed soon.

[SlashRxR]

This is exactly why i wanted to wait to buy the fanclub. Sorry to everyone who got screwed over! 

[samoice]

Sorry bro, that's all I got. He didn't elaborate any more than that. I would believe though that since it was a "mistake", it will be fixed at some point.

Don't get your hopes up.  Refer to my post above on this page.  Still waiting to hear on that.

You are a friend of Dizzy/Lisa Reed, I believe? Anyway, alot of these operations are outsourced, so this is probably a case of someone the band trusted letting them down, yet again!

I am sure the situation will be rectified as soon as possible though.

[One.In.A.Million]

I would prefer a bootleg looking CD era shirt, with an orange star on than this Appetite artwork. I'm sure it's a genuine mistake, but it's thought provoking nontheless.

I do however love that other artwork that's shown in the picture, looks cool.

Being "Management" is a lot of work.  It involves requiring 3rd parties to get your approval before proceeding with their actions.  Its not end of the world or anything, but to me this is just a small window into why things are always getting fucked up. 

[CIAT]

They should just take a look at the Metallica fanclub and do everything they do. Just replace the word Metallica with Guns N' Roses.

Then we'd have a great fanclub.
