Does anyone else feel ripped off by The Album Club?

Hi everyone,

I never really feel inclined to post my views and opinions on here, but feel slightly irritated by Queen Productions' new way of scamming even more money out of us fans.

Let me say that I fully support the QPR project, so this isn't a way of me slamming them at all. I just can't help feeling ripped off by The Album Club, which charged us £2 to join (I know this isn't much!), and so far, all we have been given is a video of C-Lebrity (which we all saw on TV), some liner notes, a few photos of the band, and a couple of pointless videos of Bri, Roger and Paul welcoming us to the site and talking about Runaway (which isn't even going to be included on the new album!).

With just over a month until the album is released, does anyone know whether we'll get any more features in The Album Club? I think once again, we've been scammed by Queen Productions...

Cheers,

Chris

The main reason I joined was for the live tracks.

If I would have joined I would have felt ripped off indeed.
Luckily I did not join.
I'm sure the live tracks will come my way one way or another. Just like they did in 2005.

Ripped off? I hardly call £2 a rip off. As for fleecing fans out of their money, you have a choice wether to buy or not. It's called free will. No one is fleecing anyone. You can take it or leave it.

Well, the way I look at it, it's an album club.
Has the album come out yet?
No.
So why would the club be that fantastic yet?
My expectations aren't very high, but I'd at least wait 'til the album comes out before I hit the club with criticism. Besides, as far as I can tell, they haven't NOT given us anything they said they would.

I'm just glad I joind before it became the equivalent of $20!

It is only £2 and that money go to charity, hardly a rip-off. However, the club and the promotion in general has been a disappointment this far. I think this will change though. An organization like QP is bound to have at least some sort of marketing strategy. Lets wait till the release date gets closer.

Of course they have a marketing strategy.

Two weeks before the album release Brian is going to mention on his soapbox what a fabulous album they have done. And that's it.

£2 monty david moyes could buy a centre back with that any how pr sings like a male maria carey lol

£2 is hardly going to break the bank. As for content of the site, we'll have to wait & see.

Let's put it this way... I'm glad I chose to give £2 directly to a charity instead of paying it for the album club.

I felt ripped off during the US tour with the so called presale tickets.....I could have bought better seats day of shows.

Since that's the only time I let QP get me, I guess I feel fortunate, or smart enough to not let anyone fool me twice.

Rip off artists at their finest.
