So, how did you get your hands on these? Some Target worker snuck them to you?
I will wait for an answer before I say or ask any more.

Madonna's ICON fanclub charges $45 per year. Pre-sales still exist, but if U buy a fanclub membership today, U don't qualify 4 pre-sale until the next tour which could be a few years away. Furthermore, each ICON member can only buy 4 pre-sale tickets total 4 any given tour. This process weeds out most of the scalpers, although some clever ones have bought multiple memberships and hold out until a new tour gets announced. Interestingly, being in the ICON fanclub doesn't guarantee that U'll get a seat or even a good seat! Also, there are no price discounts on concert seats, so the usual Ticketmaster service charges are all in place. This can be very frustrating 4 Madonna fans as they often don't feel their membership does enough 4 them. Many threaten 2 leave and bitch about it ad nauseum on the ICON message boards.

I hope that Prince goes back 2 the format used 4 NPGMC. Advance ticket sales and downloads were easy 2 access and made NPGMCers feel special. I loved that club (Musicology period) and I think he should've just killed the difficult-2-moderate message board rather than the whole thing. After all, we could all express ourselves on HQ and on here. I'm holding out hope 4 this new project until March 29th, but judging from the un-fresh MPLSOUND and ELIXER cover art, my hopes are fading that the contents of lotusflow3r.com won't be riddled with this type of photoshop collage.


HQ no longer exists.



They used the conditional tense, I took it as being in the past tense. Pointing out that HQ is closed seems petty to me.

Mini Review....but without spoiling it. I guess I would like to know what songs you thing are fabulous without giving anything away totally.
I can wait for the actual release date...But it is very tempting to hear some about it.
I cannot wait till I can purchase them! I'm very excited!
Although a lil unnerved that people are sneaking copies before the rest of us can get our hands on them. Mixed emotions I tell ya..

Presale tickets and downloads was what I enjoyed about the club. If this new site offers members who pay $77.00 to join, access to videos, unreleased music/vids/streaming of live events/shows/concerts at a discount price, and pre-sale tickets, then that sounds like a deal to me. I expect we will only get a "limited" amount of free vids/unreleased tracks/vids/new music content, live streaming events during the year, and have to pay a fee for the rest of course that is also offered to the public, but at a discount for $77.00 members.

Who knows maybe they can implement a two-part membership offer to fans who can't afford $77.00 right now, but can pay $25.00 for limited access to parts of the site, including limited freebies, like vids/new music for the duration of that membership, but given a chance to advance to full membership ($77.00) within a specified amount of time.

Maybe if they had two membership plans, with a $25.00 membership plan, included in the membership process.

If such a thing was to happen, then a $25.00 membership plan could look like this:

- Limited freebies, during the year, such as songs/video content

- Pre-sale tickets not included in plan

- cds/downloads/live streaming events, concerts, if offered to general public
as well, then $25.00 members would have to pay same price offered to general
public, unless it's a live, streaming event offered only to club members
who paid $77.00 (but discount fees for $77.00 members if the event is not
free)


- 3 months period as a $25.00 member, with opportunity to advance
to full membership; an email could be sent out by P's team to the
$25.00 members, 2 weeks prior to the $25.00 membership expiration
date that will allow them to pay the remaining balance of $52.00
towards a full membership (applied to the $25.00 already paid)

- If you choose not to become a full member or do not respond to the email
within the 2 week period of email sent or before the 3 month expiration
date expires, from the day you joined, then that member will remain a
$25.00 member until the end of the year, and can choose to join as either a
$25.00 member or $77.00 member when the new year begins and the sign-up
period starts again for anyone interested in being a mamber.




I think that would be a fair way of doing things for fans who can't afford the $77.00 full membership right away, if such a plan was put in place. Even though those who choose to pay the lower price, would know beforehand that they would have limited access to parts of the site, and pre-sale tickets would not be part of the offer until they pay the balance of the full membership fee.

You seem to think you're the owner of this site. You're not.You're also not a mod here and can't tell me or anyone else what to post or how many times they can post on a public site. If my posts bother you, simply don't read them. That's not a hard thing to figure out. By the way, your name calling speaks for itself.

this happens all of the time. it's probably too hard for the mgmt to police it. he'll scan it on release day and pay for it like normal, therefore from an inventory perspective no one stole anything.

Perhaps you could start a seperate review thread and label it as containing spoilers so that those who don't want to know can steer clear?
