The fanclub board is for members only exept of the "Generel BJ"-part of it.

If it is worth it for you is difficult to answer. The main reason for most Europeans are the wristbands for the double barricaded area in front of the stage at concerts. The other things that the fanclub offers, like attending video shoots or TV recordings are only in the USA and the fanclub trips are horrible overpriced and also only in the USA.

For me it is worth it since I usually make multiple concerts per tour and travel all over Europe and I wouldn't want to do it if I couldn't get into the area in front of the stage. I wouldn't pay for travel, hotel and stuff if I would end up in the End of the stadium. But 40 Dollars is a lot of money, in the End it's your decision.

If you are from the USA, esp. from NY/NJ-area, it's probably more worth because of things like videoshoots and stuff.
