-Billiejoezee- Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I would. Not everyone's privileged enough to own/have access to a credit card. =\oh yeah.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 ahh don't feel bad. I see a mod...
chickin'pickin' Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Bit of a double edged sword though. Whilst some people are unable to join the Idiot club, should those that are be made to fork out for pictures if they're just going to bandied about williy nilly anyways? Try to look at both sides of the coin.
mallorymaloney Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 ahh don't feel bad. I see a mod... I FEEL SO POOR RIGHT NOW. And it's okay, that mod loves me.... I think.

chickin'pickin' Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 You have your moments..Now, back to the topic!

Sarahnade. Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Photos excite me very much. Hope the green screen is of epic proportions.

Try to look at both sides of the coin.Well I'm a member and I couldn't care less if non-members get to see stuff like this. I still get to see the pictures so it doesn't make any difference who else is looking at them. I think if someone gets more satisfaction from knowing they're seeing something 'exclusively' than they would from knowing other people were sharing their enjoyment, they're very petty indeed. I don't think many members care about pictures being exclusive though, it's the exclusivity of the contests and presales that's worth paying for. It would be crazy to join just for pictures.Of course there are rules to be followed so I see why these things can't be posted here. But it's hardly a moral issue.

It's nice to know there are IC members that don't think they are surperior or anything.

But it's hardly a moral issue.I agree with this.Some people can't afford to join the IC, it doesn't mean they deserve anything less than what we get, everyone's entitled to the same thing (with the exception of presales and contests, obviously). That's the way I see it, anyway.
Hermione Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 It's not so much that I think everyone's entitled to see them. Just that it wouldn't bother me if they saw them . It's not like the IC gets particularly spectacular photos anyway, I doubt many people on there care when they get leaked.But again I understand why they shouldn't be posted here, the site could get into trouble for it.
Sarahnade. Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I think IC members should get to see photos a few days in advance, but then have the photos posted on GD.com, like someone said. Just like with pre-sale. IC members get pre-sale, but it's not like non-IC members can't get tickets at all, they just get them later.I don't know. The topic doesn't bother me that much, but it just sorta sucks not being a member.
netty Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 the only people who think that idiot club members think they are superior, are those who arent members. well, thats the impression I get. I dont think I`m better than other fans, thats for sure. I certainly am not getting into the whole "real fan" bull shit"! as a fan who is only going to her 4th and 5th gig this tour...well.... money does not make a "real" fan. not being able to afford the idiot club has nothing to do with who "deserves" anything exclusive. this issue is a constant stuggle for me as I am able to afford to pay for this... 20$ a year isnt that much but I can well understand how many cant afford, or dont have the credit card to pay for it. which fans deserve what is always going to be down to each individuals point of view. Some people can't afford to join the IC, it doesn't mean they deserve anything less than what we get, everyone's entitled to the same thing (with the exception of presales and contests, obviously).its all about where you draw the line. the photos are classed as exlusives. so are some other things on there. I know full well there have been quite willing to share links/promo codes or whatever to help friends out. I`m a mod on there. I have to look out for the members. both on the site and off. like I said, its a complicated issue.
Hermione Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I think the IC should offer people more for their money so that looking at moderately interesting photos doesn't need to be one of the perks You do such a great job both on here and on the IC dealing with all this stuff Netty, it's much appreciated . Can't say I envy you!
Blu Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 The IC has done nothing but rip me off, so I'm not minding the photos floating around.Post them in the stickyI don't particularly like that term. "Pinned thread" sounds so much better.I really wish people would refrain from talking about their hair so much.The pictures make me excited to see the video.
netty Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 The IC has done nothing but rip me off, so I'm not minding the photos floating around.if you`d share your reasons for that.. its maybe something I can bring up in future.
Blu Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 if you`d share your reasons for that.. its maybe something I can bring up in future.They initially promised crap they never truly followed through with, like the Q&A. But we all figured that out fast.What I gave a shit about was San Diego. I didn't like driving 2 freaking hours to San Diego to find out (like so many others did) that the Idiot Club rep hadn't shown up with the Idiot Club tickets for Will Call. So, Will Call had been open since 10 am, but anyone who had ordered from Idiot Club had to wait... and wait... and wait... Me: Are Idiot Club tickets available yet?Will Call Teller: They haven't arrived. They should be here by 3:30. Me: (at 3:30): Are the Idiot Club tickets here yet?Will Call teller: No. They should be here by 4:30.Me: (at 4:30) Are the Idiot Club tickets here yet?Will Call Teller: The tickets should be here by 5. The representative is on his way from Chula Vista right now. Me: Okay. *Goes and sits on curb, yet again.*Me: (at 5:15) Are the tickets for Idiot Club here?Will Call Teller: Not yet. We'll make an announcement when they arrive. 6pm the gates open to let people in...6:05... Idiot Club tickets arrive. I'd been waiting hours. It's a good thing I didn't have floor tickets. I would have been even more pissed off if I had floor. Ordering pre-sale and then getting in after everyone else because the pre-sale tickets show up AFTER the gates open because the fan club screws up is pretty bad.I could have saved $80 by not paying for Idiot Club over the last few years and bought better seats and not done pre-sales and still been fine.
DarrenDookie Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 ^^Pretty solid reason.I dont think ill ever bother signin up fir the IC...
Soroush Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 there are no credit cards in my country to be able to join idiot club. at least somebody pm me the pics.
