    I'm at 17 years. I don't think you really get anything. Most people have made a concerted effort to renew since the ticket senority thing came into play. Since the longer term members are less likely to forget renewing, I haven't really gained any senority (ie my seats were actually getting worse every tour after binaural). I don't think you get much for long term membership. Hence the need for a GA section :)

    At 20 years, you should be considered a lifetime member and your dues should either be waived or cut in half. That's called loyalty. And the band should recognize it.

    I have been a fan since sometime in 91 when I heard the band ... bought many albums. Never joined a "fan club" because quite frankly I always thought it was kind of lame.. that's just me.
    Life took me different directions, always liked PJ and had most of the albums in the 90s. Then I rediscovered the band really on Sirius.
    Wanted to see some shows, found out that the 10c was how to get presales. So I joined. The lottery system is cool, because a fan is a fan, and in a true democracy, everyone should get a chance.
    Safe to say, everyone on here is part of the reason PJ is still around, and therefore should have a crack at GA seats, whether you were the first member or in the 250,000 range where I am.

    I'm in the twenty (one) year club myself. I had to go back through the holiday singles to figure out when I joined. 94, the year of no holiday single.

    Keepijg in mind the OP isn't serious (i don't think), I personally don't feel that the band should feel like they owe anyone anything for being a long term member - they've already fulfilled their obligation by creating music and performing for all these years... But I know some would disagree with me.

    This would be cool. After 20 yrs you get free lifetime membership. Or maybe some random warehouse gift...

    I wasn't serious. And I don't think the band owes us anything but to recognize long time members would be a great show of appreciation. Most of us have been fans from the beginning, but only a few of us (not me) bothered to mail the $10 back when they formed this club and continued to every year for the last 20+ years.

    How many members are there? 2-3 hundred thousand?? Of that, maybe 500 people are 20+ year members? It wouldnt cost them a lot to make them lifetime members..
