I saw lots of things in GC - pushing, shoving, lots of bitching, people taking pics of other fans and then sneering at them as they showed them to their mates, and some lady steaming her way into the crowd to get a look at the set list that someone got hold of.

The members I saw were pretty miserable. (I have a great picture to prove it but I won't post in on here)

I'm guessing that they've been to so many shows that the enthusiasm isn't there for them anymore.

PLEASE post the picture

Meh i just join the fanclub so that i can make sure i get tickets and i normally p;lan it to get close for a couple shows(normally the bigger ones) and the others i turn up at around 6pm with normal GC tickets.

All u really get apart from tickets is the forum. But trsut me the people on here are ALOT friendlier.

BJ politics eh!?

The only thing good about joining in previous years, you basically got in early and at a few shows you had your own pit.

If you want to spend £25 basically just for a message board.... then yeah, go for it! Otherwise stay as you are.

Thanks for the advice...I thought about it but I don't think I'll bother now.

And Dockworker_Tommy - you just know that I risk a beating if I post a pic on here and some Backstager takes issue with it. No deal!!!

U occasionally get a magazine! Normally in the year the band arent tour!

I like the Springsteen approach.

Buy a GA ticket. Get a wristband at 1 (for no extra cost) and then go in at any time after 5. The pits smaller aswell.

Only problem is when the pub across the road is selling beer at £1.70 a pint! hahaha Good times x

I know what you mean some members from backstage are right idiots, I am also a backstage member but I decided also early on to stay at the back of the gold circle where the real party was.
