Hi, It does seem expensive, specially in light of the comparison Jason makes with other fanclubs that offer similar stuff, like the CD-ROM. I can't help thinking they've got us over a barrel here. I don't want to pay an unfair price, but then I also don't want to miss out on stuff (living where I do and my circumstances being what they are, it's not like I'm going to get to many concerts, so I rely on live CDs and fan forums). It seems rather mean not to let us use major parts of the site (messageboards for instance, which are usually very handy for meeting up with other fans etc.) unless we pay up. I do have one theory - the details US-centric, what with times being listed for American zones, and the amount of money being listed only in dollars until you go through the process of form-filling (I only half-finished signing up the other day; I was busy and got distracted). I know that a large proportion of his fans are American, but there are also many fans worldwide, and it wouldn't hurt to include the price in Canadian dollars, £sterling, Euros etc. as well. I do have a theory on the price hike (apart from sheer opportunism, though that may well play a part). With the old fanclub, you'd pay different amounts depending on where you lived, because it cost more to post the magazines to some countries than others. Maybe they've decided this time just to have one big fee, which will cover postage costs all all countries? Well, off I go to make Sting a bit richer...
