Prince comes to a town of about a 250,000 people -- few of which are members of NPGMC -- and he stays for an entire week -- has the biggest arena in town to rehearse in -- even does a surprise performance at one of the smaller local venues -- but not one of the NPGMC members are even notifed of ANY of this -- not even those who've been fans for 20+ years and live in this relatively small town where Prince had never performed before. It happened in 2004. What up with this? I think NPGMC only does things to be seen by all. Some of us will not so easily forget.



...just venting, y'all. it still urks me

Is it Springfield?

The NPGMC have your email address, but that doesn't mean they know where you live. They might have your address if you've bought something from the NPGMC, but whether or not they are allowed to collate that data for a database cross referenced with an email address, I don't know.

So in other words, how could the specific members of a town be targeted with this information? Huh?

The NPG knows where everyone lives. That's how specific emails to specific geographic areas are sent. Thus, Ny doesn't get the email for a Chicago pre-sale and vice versa.

Well, I've had presale notification for concerts in the USA - and Hawaii - and I'm in the UK! So their system doesn't seem that specific to me.

I've received emails for every pre-sale that's ever been announced.

in the US, the e-mails are area specific (or used to be anyway) -- and i have another story about that (for another time)
