Maybe I'm naive, but I'd like to think that they're going to get way more for those tickets than that and it'll be a charity thing... I haven't gone to ebay yet to see what it says, but that's my hope. At least they started the bidding at face value--- can you imagine if they started lower and we had seen that!!! Although I'm thrilled that there's that HOPE of getting good tickets to the shows for being a club member, I won't believe it til I see it! Those horrible feelings of The Brand New Day tour are coming back to me when I see those outrageous additional fees that are being charged once again. This time I can't blame ticketbastard for my woes (if I don't get a decent seat). Don't mind paying the fees if I get what I want! Is this show in Chicago a ticketed event? Does anyone know if list members will have early ticketing access to all shows throughout the Send Your Love tour? Are we allotted the best tickets, or just tickets---does ticketbastard, etc., get their share first then we have certain amount allotted for us? That's when I'll start regretting that deluxe membership. Ugh. I hate this feeling!

Face value??? I wouldn't have bothered complaining if it was face value, but at the price they're selling them, it's $64 CHEAPER than I would have to pay, taking into account the $65 I paid for my membership, and the $159.xx that I would be expected to pay for the Paris tickets... Total: $224 So the $160 they're selling them for is a lot less than face value - hardly makes the fanclub "exclusive" does it?? J.

why would it go to charity? unless they are being sold as 'proceeds to benefit such and such charity- ' which would make your ticket tax-deductible ( if you itemize) then all that cash is just going to line their pockets. i can't believe the fan club is selling their own tix on ebay. on 8/27/03 1:26 PM, Stingfan222@aol.com at Stingfan222@aol.com wrote:
