At Edinburgh you could still get to one of the front rows even if you were the last one admitted, as the crowd were quite thinnned out until the shows started. The only benefit from early entry was quick access to the merchandise stall! Access to meet-and-greet? I didn't see anyone at Edinburgh checking fans for a card, unless, like you said Andy, I was the '+1'?
I wouldn't have minded but the holding hands bit was too far
I did show my card pre and post gig, somebody asked to see our backstage passes and we said 'Eh? all we've got is these?' but that's what they meant.
As far as that gig was concerned we (I mean club members) got all that was promissed, the only thing I forgot to do was ask if there was a discount at the stall. It just depends what people were expecting for it I guess, ok Edgar didn't pay for me to fly with him to LA at his expense, just cos I had a card...but we weren't promissed that.
The only reason why it seems that TDOC members seemed to get little from that gig was that it was run so well...and most fans turned up fairly late (comparing it with the Forum), I don't know if you were next to me at the time mate, but I actually thanked the people who were doing the security there, a model of how to be polite AND keep order.
When the TDOC was announced or rather the list of things we were meant to get, i must say I did think, 'yeah, right like that's gonna work'...but I've got no complaints....and the £100 backhander off Edgar was a bonus
seriously though, does anybody feel they haven't got much from the club so far? Nobody has said this to me yet, but it would be interesting to see what everybody thinks
