45 RPM Club (the official TGA fan club)

Okay if there are some Mails in Sweden and England it should be possible that everyone's getting theirs soon... but tbh I'll write them if it takes much longer than wednesday or sth... Because no one knows exactly since when the 60 days grace period is running and when it started counting the day you signed in then it's only 16 days left for me to renew

It pains me to say but the management of the fanclub and the communication with the members is still a mess. Hope they sort it out soon!

I understand the mess with the 7" and all but it should be possible to send out some Emails right?!
Just hope they'll figure it out...

I know they said this in the US email.

You're receiving this email specifically because you have either received or will receive in the next few days our annual record and we had to close out our commitment to deliver this before respectfully asking for your club membership renewal.

Maybe they aren't sending emails out till they've shipped/you receive your 7" ?

aah okay so this could be... that they want to send it to you before opening you the choice for renewal, but they should know that international orders can get messy too so send the mails out on time and not linked to receiving the 7"

Indeed, my last order from the US took 3 months to get here for some reason  

just did my renewal

Ok, so I finally got my email, but there is something that's holding me back from renewing.

When I was reading the Terms and Conditions, it says that "Tickets are sold in pairs only. No single tickets will be sold.". What?! Is this normal?

just received my renewal email here in germany - anyone else?

i just don't get the difference between digital and vinyl:

No that's a vinyl thing too. The only difference that I could see was with Vinyl you get a shirt and a vinyl.

They said that last time too but I think people were able to get single tickets still. It's hard to know if half that stuff will really apply this time through either. Hopefully not.

I just renewed. Would be nice if you showed your 45 club membership card at the door for the Hall of Williamsburg show to guarantee admittance. Let's see if this is worth it during its sophomore year.

probably wishful thinking there...

technically a bouncing souls show, and honestly that would look pretty scummy to give priority to gaslight fans over bouncing soul fans. Plus venue holds just over 500 and i assume there are way more than 500 club members in the NYC/NJ area.

We were also confused last year because in the terms it said that the tickets were sold in pairs and for seating. Turned out that (at least for Europe) the presale was a link to one of the ticketproviders and you could buy also just 1 and even more tix if you wanted to. Also you could choose between seats and stalls standing. So at least for Europe I would not worry too much. For the US it could change once they started to play seated venues ...

I'll admit last year I don't think I even read the Terms and Conditions hehe! So I went on with it and renewed. With vinyl of course! Yay  

I live in the US and just got my 7" this week though I got the renewal email and subsequently renewed about two weeks ago. As for single tickets versus pairs, I saw TGA eight times in the last year all across the US and only the Stone Pony Summerstage shows in May was I able to buy a single ticket. The other six I didn't have a choice when buying and ended up at a couple shows with a ticket I couldn't sell (the West Coast is very slow in catching on). Not sure but I think it depends on promoters contracts with venues. The Fox Thater in Oakland holds 2,500 so I would imagine to even book that venue, they need to guarantee X number of tickets sold, so perhaps the reason to sell in pairs.

I still havent gotten a renewal email....

I wish they'd settle on the single/pair issue, because that was the reason I didn't join (other than not having a record player). If I knew I could get single tickets, that could possibly change my mind.

I'm not sure how the terms were last year, but I think I bought my single tickets to the Terminal 5 shows in NYC through the pre-sale. Can't say for sure though.

Got my renewal email last Wednesday. No sign of my 7" yet.

I was unsure about renewing, then i decided i probably would, but i'm 99% sure i won't do it if i don't get my 7".

This is exactly how I feel. I still cannot believe I haven't received this. It's almost to the point where I just have to laugh. What an operation.

got my 7" Monday

got my 7" Monday

Still haven't gotten my 7", but my renewal isn't up for about a month.  It sounds like people are getting them closer to their renewal date (other than the ones that went past it because they didn't have the renewal process figured out)?

Gotta love Christmas releases.... Still not got mine and kinda concerned to see here that UK people have theirs. No clue when my membership is up for renewal but I'll probably end up doing it. I got tickets for both Bristol shows thanks to the presales; a friend who doesn't have a membership tried to get both shows but couldn't.

I renewed after receiving the vinyl, it's nice to think that if they keep it going I could wind up with a wonderful collection of exclusive fan club vinyls, although the packaging is skimpy to say the least
