I own every hip album, both gord solo cds . . . and have seen them three times now. . and despite having a hip club card. . can't even get into the hip club's website. . so I'm glad I found it.

Too Bad, I got the email, so did other people, if you had any integrity, you would have a friend who got the email and they would tell you the password, instead you have to come on here and ask strangers. I PM, and even forwarded the email to someone I knew. It's cases like yours I am not sympathetic to.

Question...If someone sent you an pm asking you for the password, would you give it to them? Because there is no way you can be certain that they are a club member. They may say they are, but you don't know for sure.
If the Hip would have sent EVERY member of the hipclub the password, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But they screwed up, so only a few of this club got the password, when EVERY member should have gotten it.
Not to fair.

So if we don't have a friend on here we don't have any integrity!?!
What is up with that?

Sorry, I know that Im not a big hip fan,,, but its for Lance!! He's the biggest hip fan.
Ah,,, Im also sorry for causing the password to be leaked!! Im not a moderator, so I cant delet anything.

I also hate the people who come on here ONLY at tour time to make one post in which they claim they are diehards and need the password. Only to find out that you then again find them on ebay trying to make a HUGE profit on the tix they sold because some dumbass gave out the password to EVERYONE. That just really irks me the wrong way.
Where are the mods, indeed!!!!

I also didn't get the password in an email. How fair is that the members of the Hip Club who wern't able to get the passwords, ebcause we never got the email, not be able to enjoy the presale. I bought IVL like everyone, hell if oyu dont believe ill give you all my login information, so you can see that i've been a member since the day that IVL came out. I have got every other password, including the US ones, but I didn't get the ones for these shows, including the Toronto show which i intend to see.
i was lucky enough for a nice member to pm me the password, buts its really not fair that those who are members and din't get the email not get the password. You have to know it wasnt the hip that messed this up, it falls squarely on their inept management team....
oh ya and none of my friends are members of the club, since I am the only one of them that is Die Hard Hip Fan anymore, if they want to go they usually ask me to get them tickets when i get mine, or wait for the regular sale.

Ponch Wrote:Well Billy, I have gotten every email, password, secret handshake, etc aswell, being a club card carrying member, including the US presale info. But for some reason a whole slew of us didn't get the email or password. Some club I'm a member of.
I was searching and searching for the password, and some kind hearted fellow member gave it to me.
A lot of other so-called club members are still looking for the password.
boo-hoo...lucky for those people there are enough knuckleheads around so they can easily find the password publicly. Notice my emphasis on "publicly". I have a buddy here in Calgary that used his work email for his HipClub emails. He has since changed jobs and thus doesn't recieve the password notices anymore. He phoned me and I gave it to him this morning. I'm not against sharing it with actual members, just against doing it on a public forum; that's just idiotic.

Let's not blame each other. I didn't get the email either. Although for some reason I have gotten every other one. This is not the fault of hip fans. We are all going to get descent seats.

No I wouldn't give the password, however the person I did give it to I actually know, from another concert.

Us posters who are on here DAILY, making posts and chatting and sending regular PMs to one another, we KNOW who each other are. I know that PRINCESS is Lance's wife, and we'd do anything to get her the password because she is his wife...he's the reason we're on this forum in the first place. That is why I gave her the password.
I could tell you off the top of my head who the regulars are here, who have hundreds of posts and I recognize their handles and avatars very quickly. THOSE are the diehards, those are the ones that deserve the pre-sale attempts. Not the JOESCHMOE who signed up this morning at hipbase.com just to snag the password off of someone.
Please...

LOOK,
The password was posted by that guy SHORTLY before the presale begins...not days or anything. Only Hip fans who are already online, waiting eagerly for the presale to begin, perusing this forum to kill time, are going to be able to see it. It hasn't been sitting there for ages for anyone to come across it.
The fact is the Hip dropped the ball on the e-mails and many, MANY members have been left in the cold. Stop blaming Ponch for trying to correct this grievous error.

PRINCESS, it's not your fault the password was posted, it was posted long before you logged on
