The only reason I was analog was this vinyl. Thats half the cost of membership. As soon as they did away with it that was an easy choice to go digital.
Bingo.
$20 gets ticket access, member sales and contests, forum access, 10C radio.
$20 additional was good for the download, the shirt, the record and a magazine.
A few of them from past years are in the shop for something like $10+shipping. The $20 extra definitely got more than $20 of stuff.

honestly, the "free" portion of the membership really resides in the eye of beholder. To me, I couldn't give two shits about the shirt, so that's the free part (I liked the "alive" one). to some it's the single. to others it's posting on this board.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Back to the steak dinner then. Okay, they forget to bring your baked potato, but you get steak, salad and veggies. Would you tell your waiter to forget about it, because the price of the steak + salad + veggies is the cost of the meal if you were to order everything a la carte ( i just realized I said a la mode earlier, I do no recommend ice cream with steak)? Or would you tell your waiter you paid for the dinner plate and you want your baked potato? It doesn't matter what they sell everything separately for, you paid for the bundle. you wouldn't be satisfied if the waiter just said "yeah I know we advertised baked potato, but we actually don't cook those here. I don't know why its on the menu as part of the dinner. here, have some free water and now we're square."
If that still sounds fair to you, I have some box sets to sell you. Might not have all the vinyl, but you'll get what I think you should pay for it.

Now as others have said, I really don't think about it until I see this thread. its not that big of a deal. I just don't understand why anyone can defend this. What if it was the digital download they decided to take away? What if they just decided to not offer any tickets to the fan club? How would that be any different?

I'm not really sure why anyone thinks it matters what the built in cost of the single is. it's part of the agreement. the worth is the band's/club's ability to make good on a contract, which is what this is.

I don't think anyone here is outraged. Annoyed and disappointed is probably more accurate. If they announce tomorrow that they will not be shipping them out and there will be no refunds or credit I will still keep my membership as long as I have a chance of seeing them play. I will lose a lot of respect for the band and anyone involved in the club if that happens. That's not being outraged.

and even if it is true, it's not relevant. if any business sells a package, they do so to market to a diverse group, some who want item A the most, some who want item B the most, some who want both items A and B equally. so they are beholden to deliver the entire package to the entire group.
that's the entire reason they split into two tiers of membership.
what you aren't getting is that, honestly, you are kind of arrogantly assuming what is most important to you is what should be most important to everyone. that tickets are the steak. they aren't, to everybody. there is no right answer as to what is the most important.
I continue to find it kind of funny those accusing others of being "obsessed" with the singles are also the people obsessed with the people obsessed with the singles.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0
