All I know is it was worth it for the Letterman thing alone.

Well, I joined! I think it just came down to paying $25 in hopes of not missing out on something cool.

Yeah $2 a month...can't beat it. What else in life is so cheap?

Gotta love peer pressure

To me, it was worth it for the t-shirt and vinyl. I still plan to buy tickets the old-fashioned way, since the lottery is likely to leave a lot of people disappointed.

I will describe to it tomorrow, should've signed up earlier but didn't have a creditcard or paypal!
Hopefully it's worth it, but it's not that much money so...
I think i will get my tickets to old way to, they still aren't that well known over here so it doesn't sell out so quick.

Shipped, got tracking number, looks like it will be at my house either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Nice! I'm getting excited. I can't be too far down on the list so I hope mine ships soon!

Question for people who are fully signed up for this. Do you get your fan club member number right after you order it online or does something ship to your house that you need to get the advanced tickets? I stupidly waited and didn't sign up when this was announced and now really want to be a part of this for the pre-sale for the T5 shows this week. If I order today will I get included? My guess is no but I figured I'd ask here.

I THINK it's going to be done via email and/or name because they're only just starting to mail out membership cards and no one knows their number until those come (unless I'm missing something very big).

I also think based on what they said previously that it's like you have to join before a show/tour is announced in order to qualify for the presale. I don't know how precise they are with this. As in, if you signed up at 8am and they announced at noon, I'm not sure if they'd be on top of things enough to get you in or not.

You have a shot though! Good luck!

You might want to check with infinitemerch. They're usually pretty good at responding quickly. Or just sign up quick if you're planning to anyway!

Just got my presale email!

Is there reason to believe that non-45 Club members will be excluded from this pre-sale? I know that's what we should expect but this seems to be the same sort of presale that predated the 45 Club.

EDIT: By the way, I've sent the following e-mail to them:

"I was hoping someone could answer a question about the presales mentioned in the email below. Will these be restricted to 45 Club members only? I ask because this seems to be the same presale procedure that was used before the 45 Club existed. In other words, if a non-member goes to the presale link, will they be able to complete a transaction? I would hope not but can you please let me know?

Best,

Eamonn O."

Thanks Eamonn. Let us know what they say. This being a sale open to everybody would defeat a major perk and one of the reasons this fan club started wouldn't it?

The one thing that gives me comfort for the Terminal 5 shows is I think they should be a relatively easy ticket given that there's going to be 6,000 tix available between those two nights. That's not to say that they won't sell out but compared to Webster Hall and MHOW, I think it will be a much different story.

Sidenote: RandyManchoManCabbage is a hero.

Hey Rob! You're too kind. You plan on going to both Terminal 5 shows? I hope to go to both BUT will not be there as early as I was for WH.

Agreed. Not to say these tickets won't go quickly, and not to say they aren't restricting the presale to only a few hundred tickets, but I imagine this will be a much easier process than before.

They used the same system for the HOB AC presale and it was a snap. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same deal.

Nice! Did anyone else get notified that there stuff has been sent?

Nope I haven't heard anything yet. Of course I think I ordered mine a few hours after you guys. On day one, but still.

Cool! I got a blank email from Infinite Merch today - maybe it was the shipping notice.

I had that too but hadn't considered that it could be the shipping notice.

Oh dear...those t-shirts look just as bad as the 10c ones

That was the first thing i thought when I saw the design.

Better than nothing. Surely they could have let El Jefe design the t shirt though. Can't say its something Im going to wear to be honest but we'll see

Saying we are paying for it..then I think they could have done much better.

Like the 10c one, it will be reduced to using as a rag to wash the car or something.
