first in line ticket sales
#1

Am I the only person who sees a problem with this so called benefit? This is great if you have a computer at work, but what if you don't? Even the sales to the general public are on sale in the middle of the week. What happened to the days when tickets to every show went on sale on Sat. morning and you waited out all night? These kids today have it way to easy.Sorry for the bitching,just feeling a little cheated is all.

The bigger problem is that scalpers and ebayers can sign up the same as fans do for this first-in-line ticket access. At least if it was a paid membership you would have to put up some money up front to help weed out scalpers and casual fans from being so-called "Fan Club Members".

And how can everyone be first in line? There can only be one first in line. Everyone else is second in line, third in line, fourth in line, etc.

Now that you have Dale and me as your avatar, your comedic posts are even funnier...

who is anyone to judge oneself as a "real fan" versus a "casual fan".

Do only "real fan's" deserve special treatment?

No but scalper's don't deserve any treatment or recognition at all. And that is what a first-in-line process is trying to minimize!

You failed to mention the third category of fans - the fake fan (eg. thehip11, etc.).

Fake fans claim to be real fans, but true real fans can tell the difference.

What about the Fake Real Fans that are really faking being real?

What about reel fans? I love movies.

Try the veal, tip your waitresses.

haha, i love where this is going.

could a fake fan identify another fake fan? but if they are a true fake fan, would they call another fake fan on it?

Deep down, aren't we all fans, though. <pot-smoking smiley>

You don't think that someone who has followed the band, bought all their albums and spent hundreds or thousands of dollars deserves to sit closer to the stage than the guy who is just going to hear New Orleans is Sinking? I know if I was in a band who I'd prefer to be sitting closer to the stage.

I have to agree...but I'm not in a band! Cry

It get's pretty complicated, right about now . . .
