Nightrain Troubles

[Tom Grant]

Has everyone seen the new official merch t-shirt "I Listen To GNR With My Kid"? Thought it was pretty cool.

Is it still taking months to receive products from the store? I've been considering a Nightrain membership, but I'm curious as to how active is their forum these days?

If you're joining Nightrain solely to use a forum, it's not worth it. No idea about products from store, but Nightrain package took months and months to arrive.

Other than having an additional forum, I don't see many other benefits of joining. You do get a 30th anniversary Nightrain t-shirt, so that's not too bad considering the cost of the lower membership is only $45. Considering they are going be making their 2nd NITL run through NA, I don't see pre-sale benefits being a necessity.

Prior to them announcing the additional dates, I almost did buy a membership because I was really hoping that the band was going to put something cool together for AFD's 30th anniversary. In the off-chance that it would have only been a show or two, and if they would have offered tickets to Nightrain members first, I wanted to be ready.

I'm still hoping that the band does something special for AFD's 30th. It's such an iconic album - and being as though all 5 members who helped to create that album are still alive and well - it would be a damn shame if the anniversary were to pass with no special fanfare or celebration.

When did you buy? Assuming it's in the last few weeks I'd expect it about October time.

Order in Spring and maybe if you're very good all year Santa will come.

Competition for Nightrain members to win tickets to the tour just gone out. American residents only. Again.

So they just rolled through Europe, and there were no perks whatsoever for European members - not even a ticket giveaway for shows?

I don't know who is running Nightrain, but they really need to look at the way European fans are treated. There seems to be no perks whatsoever. Essentially you just buy a shirt and a lanyard- that's all the fanclub amounts to for Europeans.

Sorry to moan- it just seems a really poor, and unfair, deal.

Agreed. I didn't bother to renew my membership.

I won't when mine expires unless things notably change in the interim- it's a shame, as it wouldn't take much to make it decent. I guess it's run by Live Nation? They're hardly known for high quality fan liasons. Throwing the running of it over to fans with experience of running things who had some knowledge of what other fans want I think would surely bring in more renewals?

On the site it says  "T-shirt and laminate will ship in August. Vinyl, litho, and slipmat will ship in the fall."

I may get the laminate before Hershey show or maybe not.

They had a guitar pick scavenger hunt where they gave away tickets for nearly every show.  Yeah that was for anyone but they never did that in the US.  In London they gave away 12 stage used drum heads signed by Frank to Nightrain members.  Each one was labeled with what country it was played in.

Where was all this revealed? First i've heard about any of it, and i check the nightrain forum regularly!

Just used mine to get good seats for Hartford.

Section 105 (right by the stage), 6th row! PERFECT for us!

Is membership just for a year?

That's what put me off getting it. You can get the exact same tickets without the membership, and since the European shows (or at least Slane Castle and London, not 100% sure about the others) the floor was all standing it wasn't even like the pre-sale got you a better spot. And since there seem to be no real benefits except the pre-sale there was no point in joining.

Yeah- I've not been impressed at all. Feel pretty cheated, as I expected at least a few things to justify being a member. You are basically buying a t-shirt/lanyard. It's a shame, but there seems to be no effort put in at all in terms of European fans especially. Pre-sale is the only perk, which, given that they've just finished touring Europe, probably isn't going to be much use!

Is this legit cause in a way those are a gift from being a member? Well what im asking is that can i get around it?

Sorry to say, but I don't think so. When you paid for the membership, essentially you bought that merchandise.
