    TOPSPIN IS RIPPING OFF YOUR FANS BOB!
    CandyGirlPres says (19 Dec '12)

    A new membership to the fan club, and an extra $47 bucks, scores someone better seats than a long time fan club member? That's wrong. Topspin is screwing your most loyal fans, Bob. I don't ever get on here and bitch, but today I am pissed! It's just plain wrong.

Where do you get the presale code? I'm trying to buy in the presale and I paid the membership fee but I don't have a code... where do you find it?

if you want the best tickets, just push the "new member" off the ticketmaster site; you don't even need a code.

or I should say...click the number of tickets beside where it says "add new KRC membership"

ah still confused... does buying them at 'new member' mean you had to buy into a new membership? - where the xtra 47 bucks comes into play that Meredith mentioned

Yes, Lisa bought a new membership for 47 bucks to get us better seats. I'm paying her back dammit!

I'm glad we got 2nd row and yes, had to purchase another "new member" package. i would be stuck in the back with my Rebel Soul code I made sure to have had updated from the KRC. I am just glad I got curious and pushed the button. After that though, using both methods and finding out the differing results, I really got pissed.

And I was buying for 4 and now we are separated :/

Ah.... I see.. that sucks you guys. Which show are you going to? My buddies from State College asked if we would do a road trip over but we can't right now. Well, after all the crazy stress and xtra 50... glad to hear you got row B.. way to go :)

A lot of ticket sales are a scam , overhere in Europe with the 2 Stones Shows in London tickets at the presale it seemed that the first batch of tickets which were sold ,were the lesser seats and later on better seats were being released ? , its a strategy, the promotors know that hardcore fans will buy the tickets at the presale and if they wait releasing some good seats they know they will be sold later on ..... so at the end all tickets are sold

daam, that's some crazy shit. So, my guess is now you have two different memberships for Rebel Soldiers?

I was the one who purchased. Used the Rebel Soul code. Landed in row L (not in the first section either, I'm speaking of second section back, row, L). Tried a few more times....no available tickets AT ALL in first three sections. I was getting upset with the results, so I tried clicking that "new member", I received 2nd row in the first section center, so I bought them at the "new member" level.. I did this several more times using my Rebel Soul code and the "new member" code. The results for "new member" most always came back with better seats. It's a shame. I never bitch either, but dayum? I'm happy with the "end" result of us being in second row, however, the extra time and "let me see what happens when I press this new member button" whole situation just blew. me. away.

hmm.. wonder if it could have just been a crazy coincidence being the way ticketmaster is, seats opening up and closing, seats being thrown back constantly. Everybody's on there at one time scooping seats then throwing them back in hopes they get better.

Confused and want to understand... So, Meredith, just curious... you were a member of the congregation fan club, right, which meant if your membership didn't need to be renewed or you renewed it just this past year.... you were automatically given a free year of membership into Rebel Soldiers, right? OR Did your membership lapse from the congregation.. and had to get a new membership? If so, did you get the $15 one and then it didn't work for good seats and then on top of that had to get a $47 which then you did get the good seats?

Membership was current Beckxy... got the email that it was being transferred to the new Rebel Soldiers for a year. Got a presale code. Used it and got Row L. Did the other option with buying the new membership at $47, got Row B. Maybe it was seats opening up etc... but we, the paying fan club members, should have our OWN presale for each show. Then open it up to others. Doesn't loyalty mean anything anymore?

Yea that doesn't seem fair at all. After you guys mentioned it I was curious as to what this 'new fan member' thing was... cuz I haven't gone to buy tickets at all.. so I didn't understand fully until Lisa mentioned above about the new fan button. I thought to try myself to see what would come up if I tried for both since I'm not going to be using my code anyway until they make their way over to the Eastcoast. Tried both ways on Toledo around 5ish and they were both near each other... new membership was section F5 floor Row E and then the code one was F6 floor Row F... what stinks is that they don't have that pick your own seat option like I've seen last year... you were able to see what was available on ticketmaster.. or maybe that's only on some shows.. idk. Still, it could of been coincidental.. perhaps someone threw a pair back on B that got A some how else, ya know... again.. why I like to see what's available and the choose your own seat option ; ) The part about advertising fan membership (meaning anyone can do the presale if they join while the presales are going off for the fan club...hmmm - yea not too fair, yet I'd imagine for anyone who knows that the presale is going off will join up fast anyway through the fan club so that they get first dips too..catch my drift ;) Honestly, if it was between row L or B for me and Gene.. I'd be sticking another 50 bucks in too... hoping that it goes to the foundation or something. Thanks for giving me the heads-up and clue'n me in, Meredith
Wish I could rock the show with yall <3

I am glad for you Little, but we had ROW L until we bought the membership. Then we got ROW B. We were ON TIME. This is not our first rodeo.

You know me Angel, I always do my best to be positive, but this has me fired up. It is total bullshit. The almighty dollar rules the world. So much for the "free" one year membership to Rebel Soldiers.
