Due to technical difficulties with the R.E.M. HQ website I've been unable to renew my fan club membership which lapsed sometime in mid-March. They've been working on fixing it for quite some time now but at present my fan club membership has expired and I haven't received the announcement. If I'm shut out from the fan club pre-sale I'm not going to be very happy about it. I have never had a problem renewing online so when it wouldn't go through I brought it to their attention immediately (prior to my fan club membership expiring).

I am in a similar boat...been a member since 1994, and may have renewed a few days after my expiry date.

I hope it gets fixed!

Hah, I already posted this, but in the wrong thread. :o

Does anyone know if they will have a presale for people who are registered online with REMhq?

For Europe, they did the presale for the fan club on Tuesday, and the did a presale for the online subscribers of Wednesday.

I really hope they do this. I was not able to renew the fanclub membership before the cut off date. I am hoping to get tickets for Chicago, and I don't want to deal with ticketmaster.

Thanks!

I don't have an Email address from the fan club to send any 'issues' to.. I sent one to musictoday.. but can someone give me the fan club email?? Please?

I think as long as you were a member when the shows were first announced you should be ok - it's not like you've suddenly become fans - they know this!

Did you buy tickets in 2004?  If so, try logging on to the Musictoday website -- they may still have your account information.

Just for the hell of it I tried renewing through the fan club section of HQ and was successful this time. I still haven't received the notice that went out today though.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FAN CLUB AND THE ONLINE FAN COMMUNITY?

I have never been a fan club member but I was able to participate in the pre-sale for the '04 tour, but I didn't get an e-mail for this tour

Although I was able to sign up for the European pre-sale and have a passcode for that, not that I even bother to buy, since I live in the US

CAN ANYONE HELP??

[Wildwings]

Well, does anyone know if two hours would make a huge difference in the kind of seats I could get?  My class starts at 9 and doesn't let out until 12 noon, and I don't have anyone else who is available to buy the tickets for me.  I was hoping that if I rushed back at 12 I may still be able to get decent seats?

[RamblingRob]

Still dont have the said email..  I wrote them and I hope to get some info.

Wish me luck.

My fan club email ended up in my junk mail (thanks DriverNate and Crescent for the heads up!).  I can't remember my username and password so I tried using the "forgot username/password" link but it's telling me my email address isn't valid.  I've tried every possible address.  I guess I will have to create a new account now.  I hope this is not a bad omen for the ticket sale.

Thanks to everyone for all the help. I was finally able to get some help from the fan club office. Not a word from Sandbag though.

Most likely going to "Boston". (Why don't they just say Mansfield. It's not even near Boston - when I mapped it out it is about 45 minutes south of Boston unless I did something wrong.) Other choice is Jones since I am between both venues.

Mansfield is easy to get to by car, right off a major highway. However it is about 45-60 minutes from Boston (depending on what time you drive). If you are flying in you might check out Providence, RI.

I wish they would tell us our allotment ahead of time though.

Sounds like this info will be shared with us on Monday.

Good luck

To you all.... the excitement and stress of booking tickets is pleasure/pain. I hope you all get what you hope for :)

I think you have to have 9 or more posts before you can receive PM's.

Aw Hell.. I wish I could remember my OLD login info... had to create this account after 4 years or so of inactivity..

Nate, if you would be so kind, my email addy is: heylookitschrisfaris@comcast.net

I would hope that the cool peeps here will respect my privacy... if you could send the EMail address, I'd be beholden...

Just curious if anyone has had pre-sale experience with regards to wheelchair accessible seating?  Any information would be much appreciated, thanks!
