For Queen fan Club members only!

Listen,

I've been a fan for 18 years now, since I was 6. I have every bloody record, single, album and bootleg.

But I was not a member of the fanclub, because Freddie was dead, and it was just a magazine of recollections and looking back.

The people who have been paying for years to that fanclub have no more rights than us. The fact that you are older doesn't mean you are entitled to tickets no more than a new fan.

So, piss off. I'm a member of the fanclub for 3 months now, 18 years of fan-hood, ... and I'm going

Richard, re:

> Listen,

OK.....

>I've been a fan for 18 years now, since I was 6. I have every bloody record, single, album and bootleg.

Hmm, I seriously doubt that, but if you say so.....

Where did anyone say that?

Can I advise that you READ people's posts before responding to them in such an angry manner - I've not got a problem with anger on forums, but when it's not warranted because of an inability to read and UNDERSTAND a post (however garbled it may be), then that's a different kettle of fish.......

Or be clearer in what you are trying to say....

So Richard you've finally joined the fan club, anything to do with the prospect of getting priority tickets??!!
Listen to Benn and stop stamping your feet! There's no medals for being a long term fan, there's people have been there since day one!

Ditto Benn and Deaky.

Relative to the scale of the band and the need to reportr and represent information the fan club is a joke.

I've seen too many instances of sycophantic poorly written articles to give a fuck about any of it.

Yes Benn that type worked for me......i'm fortunate enough to be able to get rid of them.

I joined to the Fan Club in 1996. Then I announced and again I joined. I´d like to buy one magazine from these issues: Spring 96,01,02,03 Autumn 00,01,02, Winter 00,01,02

Thank you for your replies.

Benn,

that mail wasn't meant for you but for the people who started this thread ... it was against the statement: "For Queen Fan Club Members Only"

so no hard feelings

p.s.: yep, i have an enormous Queen collection
p.p.s.: "so you joined ... " ... the fact that I had to join for priority tickets says enough, right?
p.p.p.s.: i'm not aggressive ... there are worse things said on this forum

"Oh dear I see a few none fan club members having a dig here not surprised really! I have been a Fan Club member since 1974 and it would have been a nice touch for the lottery to be for those most loyal of fans."


I think I did read the posts well: here is clearly stated that a more loyal fan is someone who is a member since 1974

What they're getting at there is the fact that by definition someone that's been a member of the club / fan since 1974 is going to have spent more time / money / emotion on the band than someone that's only come on board since fM died or since the tour was announced.

Well 15 quid saved not joining the club makes a 50 quid ticket.....wait for it....35 quid.

Get over it.

......and the £35 is kind of standard ticket pricing.

Therefore, they are not only penalising people ethat DO pay a fan club membership (£50 + the membership), but also people that aren't members (standard ticket + what it would cost to join the club).

Bastards.

I'm glad one person got it Benn.....
I read where someone is not going because its too much money but 35 quid would have been ok...??? That really fucked me off. Well don't go to Macdonalds or buy lottery tickets for a month....Wash my fucking car 3 times and i'll pay the fucking difference.How the mighty are fallen...

As if we needed any more proof.

They will blame anyone but themselves for the mishap of course.

Boneheads

I don't know what happened to thefan club, I can guarantee Jacky is a good and brave woman. Probably she is not supported by Queen's management, this tour is a tremendous lost opportunity for the fan club. It's a real pity.Presale details sneaked on forums first. If one only looks to queenworld or queenonline, he run the risk of missing gigs and events.
I do hope it will improve, I want to be supportive, the fc gave me so much over the years

Today I received the letter from Jacky. For me it´s a great news because Queen will play in Prague, april 16! It was not sure in Prague but I already know YES!!!!

The fan club was the original "forum" before all this internet stuff. To me this Brixton show should be fan club members only (not QOL)with priority given for loyalty. OK do another for QOL members only but this one should be a way of finally rewarding QFC members.

Oh, and I really hope (although it is a long shot) that they decide to play at the convention - QFC members only there mate & I've booked already.[/QUOTE]

I am not a fan club member but have thought about it for a long time, my parents don't really like me giving out details on the interenet, I would have to pay for it myself and such. I agree with the above because I am not a FC member does that make me half a fan? I am only 16 and have listened to Queen for as long as I can remember I listen to the CDs everyday on my way to school and God only knows how many times I have been taken the pi** out of for listening to "old" music. I would give my heart and soul to go to any UK gig, I am willing to scape the floor of my bank account to pay over the odds and will even pay my dad's petrol to travel to Birmingham if that' what it takes.

I don't really care what anyone else says but I am a true fan if ever there was one, i'm not saying i'm the biggest fan "number 1" but I am in love with the music.
