Its not right to just let members of the NPGMC access the website. Prince needs to realize that he has famz that love him even more than some of the NPGMC members. I have been a fam since I was 10 back in '84. Never doubted his music not once. Always bought each and every album every year it came out. Had pictures on my wall. Now I have my symbol window decal on my car and recently bought the symbol keychain. I am a dedicated fam and kind of resent the fact that we are not welcomed into his website.

if ur such a fam... join the club,

nitab said:

Damn right! Let us in Prince! I need my 25 bux to buy Crystal Ball (I'll get around to it!)

nitab said:

If you're buying all this merchandise, I'm sure you can afford $25 for the site.

I'm expressing my feelings don't start questioning me if I'm a fam or not. I don't have the means of a credit card to join the club. If they would take checks or money orders I would join in a hearbeat. Everybody's not able to have access to credit cards, things happen. All of his famz should be able to at least enter the website just like the other one.

nitab said:

oh, ok, I understand now.
Valid point.
I also think there should be information available for fans on a non-pay site, just like any other artist would provide.

Thank you LOL.

booyah said:

Right. I mean he should know that he have all kinds of famz and for me to be a die hard fam, it just feels like he only cares about those famz that are able to pay. Don't get me wrong I would pay pretty much any price to see him in person but to deny a fam to enter your website to see what's new and where he will be performing I don't think that's right.

nitab said:

I used to have shity credit so I can understand where you are coming from...I hated having to ask my friends if they could get something on their card for me...

nitab said:

Don't you know that it is all about the almighty $? That should have been very clear after last year's club...imo.

Some folks are jittery about the apparent lack of a secure server on the site and handing over their credit card details.

I'm going to wait til they iron out the creases and there's something worth my $25.I've been reading alot of folks views on the site and its content and at the moment i think i'll chat here for free.

I won't ever get another credit card in my life. Its a slippery-slope.

When I mentioned the NPGMC/Credit Card problem previously, somebody here suggested that I use a pre-paid credit card but no U.K. banks offer these as of yet. So I'm stuck.

You guys can use check cards. Same thing.

nitab said:

Just come here then.

nitab said:

use a friend's credit card.
get them 2 join up 4 ya.

the reason i havent joined yet this year is it seems like we're gonna pay 2 access a site that other musicians would have up 4 free.
& stuff like Jam Of The Year threads r ripped off from the org (my guessing)

gimme music & a downunder tour,no streaming but actual mpeg/.mov/mp3 downloads P,then i'll join.

nitab said:

Sorry, but in your original post you made no mention of simply wishing there were more avenues in which to join the club...you specifically worded it as if the existence of the club itself was wrong...as well as making it sound like you feel all fans aren't "welcomed"...wording like that definitely does NOT give the impression that you just wish the npgmc accepted checks...

I think some fans take the inability to join the club asap a lil TOO personally...

Debit cards, people... friggin DEBIT CARDS :X

Well, last year Prince charged a $100 dollars.
This year only 25 dollars. It is his business if he doesn't want anyone on the site without joining the club.

Pay the 25 dollars and enjoy, you will be glad you did, it is better than last years site..

wellbeyond said:

That's your opinion, dear. LOL.

lovebird said:

I know I think its great that he lowered the price I plan on joining soon. I still think he should have an area on the site where anyone can visit and see the latest news and information at least. My opinion. Thanks.

nitab said:

AGREED. at least for someone like me who didnt join the club last year because of all the *ullshit i went through the year before that. It would be good business to let people browse and see what it is they're missing as non members. I only joined cause it was $25. If it were for $100 again, no way.

IAM said:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for understanding where I was coming from. Much love 4 ya.

Damn right! I just maxxed out mine and it was only $250!

nitab said

I agree! I feel so frustrated...

nitab said:

U can also use a visa check card or a mastercard check card this is not a credit card, but it acts like one. They just take the money out of your checking account.

This should allow you to join.
