a tribute to jacky smith

jacky works tirelessly behind the scenes to get the tickets out for us. everytime we speak to her she is helpfull and friendly despite the fact that she must be under tremendous pressure to get the tickets to us. thanks to jacky we get our tickets 5 months before the concert.we get the best seats and we can get our tickets before the general sale.if it wasnt for jacky we would be queing around strange arenas in the early hours. we are very lucky to have jacky as our fan club leader becusase she cares for all of us and works to superhuman levels all for us! so thanks for been a great leader jacky. i think i am speaking for all the members when i say. we love you jacky your a great leader. three cheers for jacky. i welcome your comments

ive been trying to get jacky do a QaA at the convetion for ages but she keeps saying "why would anyone want to listen to me"

did you know jacky was in the studio when freddie recorded TSMGO!!!!!!


anyway going up i always saw jacky as a member of queen, and if youre not a QFC member join now!

Sorry have to disagree. I was in the fan club from 84-92 and found Jacky to be rude and a bullshitter. She practically ripped me off for my '86 tickets, sitting on them for weeks until my cousin who lived in London had to go to the fan club and Physically get them from the office after I had been bullshitted on the phone and by letter that they were in the post, the post office must have lost them blah, blah. Thank god I did get them cos it was one of the last gigs with Fred.

I was a QFC for years and always found Jacky to be very friendly and helpful.
I even got to visit her at he office when I was in London on a vacation.

Had a great time.
She got me tickets for the Freddie Tribute in '92 which I could have never got on my own.

I don't know if she makes much money out of her life at the QFC but whatever she's made it can't be enough for the years of grief from some "fans"

if it's a paid job then i would say getting money for a job you love is reward enough...fuck the tribute

My goodness me, I really hope that Jacky doesn't have to read the bile and vitriol that some people feel the need to spew while under the comfort of a pseudonym on the internet.

Very poor performance there, by some of the contributors. Perhaps you ought to go and vent your spleen on ratemyteacher.com

It is a lifetime of dedication. I thank Jacky so very much for what she has done and still does for all of us. Let those who do more than her complain, if they wish to do so. As for those that didn't do that much, "oh, don't try so hard... oh, don't take it all to heart". :)

Cheers,

Val was great with me in 2004 at the FC headquarters. Gotta love her too.

Back in 1997 or so Brian and Roger attended a press conference in Barcelona when Queen Rocks was released, as they were also honoured by the spanish musical industry with an award in recognition of their musical career; I standed with a few other fans in the street, from 8 am to 14 pm, in front of the Hard Rock Cafe, were the press conference took place.

Brian arrived first and ran from his limo getting in the Hard Rock Cafe without stopping 5 seconds to say one kind word to the less than twenty fans we were; Jim Beach arrived second, and was simply nasty and rude; and then arrived Roger, who stopped with the intention to sign some stuff for us, but his gorilla took him in the place quickly; I recall just one lucky girl got his Bo Rhap single signed by Rog.

We were not allowed to attend the press conference and our pleas were not considered, but after much trying we were promised that Rog and Brian would attend us in the front door for signatures; so naively we organized a row and all that stuff until I thought they were lying, and had the suspiction they would be leaving the place from the back door. And so they did. I ran just to catch Brian getting in his limo and at least I obtained a smile from him before he and Roger disappeared.

After that incident I felt very angry, frustrated and furious with my ... heroes !! They had been my heroes since I was 8 years old or so ! I wasn´t able to play any Queen record for some weeks, and then decided to send an email to Jacky, just to explain my frustration to someone I considered quiete "relevant" in the Queen world by then.

I wrote some lines without expecting any response from her, as I was sure my case was one in a trillion among many fans.

But yes. I got a response from her. An extremely kind response from her apologizing on behalf of Brian and Roger.

That was enough for me. I couldn´t get the signatures I had been dreaming of for all my life, but someone apologized; and each one of the words Jacky wrote to me denoted comprehension to what I was feeling then.

So, ten or eleven years later: many thanks Jacky

After all the shit I've had to take on here?

If it wasn't for me, Brian would be sleeping on the sidewalk this summer.

hahaha
