NPGMC Membership

I'm not a member of the NPGMC, but I know many of you are. I want to know if it's worth it, and if there are any downsides?
Thanks!

No it isn't worth it. You get banned for nothing unless you kiss up and eat shit.

Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

On the website, there's a link for renewing memberships, but it also says "NO XPIRATION DATE - U NEVER NEED 2 RENEW!" Can anyone clarify this one?
Thanks again

lol

that's when you have to pay a pennance. Mostoften because you were banned by an overly inflated egoist moderator that should be working in a coffee shop but by some twist of fate then ended up lucky enough to have a gig there.

if u plan to attend concerts, it is definately worth it. for one, you get the better seats...members get to buy tix before the go on sale to the public.

second, your tix are cheaper....when you buy through ticketbastard, they charges taxes AND their surcharge...u dont have either of these when buying through the club, so the membership pays for itself. during musicology, i bought two members tix to a concert, total cost 150, if i had bought them through ticketbastard, it would have been more like 175 with the taxes and fees.

Yep that's about right. Never used to be like that tho. Yrs ago I joined and paid my fee which was about half the current fee if I remember correctly, and then the following year I was asked to renew and pay again, but since then nothing. You're a member for life...unless you get banned!

I first joined when the memberships were 100 bucks. Per year. I'm not mad though, it was worth it for me.

it's 25 bucks for life....how can that not be worth it. The concert perks are worth it alone and you get downloads cheaper too.

can you spot the 2 bitter "banned" NPGMC members? I can!
and contrary to what they say...I don't kiss ass or hang out in member conection (I guess that's a bad thing?) and I ain't ever been banned.
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

I ain't never been banned, but I know there are quite a few that have been. I must admit I do like most aspects of the NPGMC but I don't hang out in the chat room over there much (at all now to be honest). I think it's far too cliquey if you know what I mean, I feel like I have to watch what I say!

fair enough...I've hardly ever been in the chat over there...only a few times. I'm not much for chat rooms though.

For getting pre-sale concerts, it is most definitely worth it. But that's the only thing I get out of the club. I can't download music because of some license problem that I just can't seem to fix, and the forums are boring.
