45 RPM Club (the official TGA fan club)

Looks like they updated my 45rpmclub.com account.

No longer says "you haven't been given access to this area"

Club store is now "coming soon" and ticket presale is "there are no tickets available at this time"

I'm not really sure exactly what we're currently receiving as members of the fan club...

So I was just going to renew and never had to put in my membership number. Is that something that I can assume Infinite Merch is going to look up? or will I be starting fresh?

I thought I just saw something about how they're working on the holiday/annual fan club record?

"Access to buy 45 Fan Club pre-sale tickets for any participating venue where the band will be playing"
--Will they be selling tickets before the year is up?

I contacted the fan club for the second time and got an immediate response. The link they originally sent for my renewal had expired. They told me to sign up by going through the website and I would retain my original number. Maybe they match it to my email. Not sure, but I will go and ahead give it a shot.

This maybe a Silly question but in the account details of the 45 RPM clubthe fulfillment status shows this: Unfulfilled.

Do I have to do something? or everybody has it this way?

Thanks

^^ mine just says "you haven't placed any orders yet"

Who did you contact? Could you maybe give me the mail adress?
Cause I never got a renewal mail, also already tried to contact them, but never got an answer!

I used the "contact us" option on the 45 rpm site. But, I just took a look at the address they resoonded from. CustomerService@infinitemerch.com. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try!

Got an email overnight pointing me to 45rpmclub.com, and asking me to confirm my new account.

The 45RPM Club has grown significantly since you originally joined. As a result, we were required to upgrade the club to a dedicated website to accommodate the increased demand. This new website will be where you'll now find your ticket pre-sales information, fan-club only merchandise and all fan club news.

Your fan club membership id number does not change and is still valid on the new site.

I'll never join again, I never received the christmas vinyl despite all my (unanswered) emails.

Again, truly sorry to everyone who signed up last year and had problems. The fan club was a new idea for us and working out the kinks has proved difficult. We're all making sure everyone gets taken care of and it runs more efficiently in the future. Please be patient, we never anticipated having so many great fans!

Anyone a problem please email customerservice@infinitemerch.com

Access to Fan Club exclusive merchandise - for 2013-14, more offerings will be rolled-out ahead of the Christmas season

Ok, after on the Gaslight Anthem's instagram they told us to contact costumservice@infinitemerch.com I wrote them an email for the fourth time and finally they wrote back (even within an hour)
They told me I should go to http://www.45rpmclub.com/ to renew.
Question is where do I renew there? Do I just create a new account and then join again? But will I keep my membership ID like that?
I asked them these question, let's see how long they will take to reply again.

They also told me they're still shipping the first 7" and I should have it by the end of the year. Let's see..

I'm honestly not so sure anymore if I even wanna renew again anymore...it's just such a hustle

Ok, already got a reply again! Well that was quick!

I am stil not sure whether to sign up again.  The international vinyl option is $ 52, so that's like $ 20 for the 7'', $ 20 for the shirt, and $12 for postage.  As they are recording an album next year, I doubt we'll get many gigs, so I am not sure about any other real benefits, esp. here in the UK.

I think a good chance of some European dates towards the end of the year or early 2015, plus how much on ebay for the 7", sadly postage from the U.S is really expensive now , its the postage what is making collecting any vinyl on import expensive. I just hope the service is much better for year 2 and the T shirt is much better quality.

So it's safe to say at this point - This didn't happen right?

I think it's safe to say that when the fanclub promises something in month X, expect it approx. 6 months later...haha.

Has anyone gotten the 2014 club shirt yet? I thought it looked awesome and was just making sure I didn't miss out. Probably going to be sent along with the vinyl if it hasn't.

I hear that the fan club packages should ship over the next few weeks.

And look out for groovy news about the vinyl.

Very awesome to hear. Was just wondering about the shipping time frame.
