The most important thing to know is that you aren't GUARANTEED to get fan club tickets if you join the club. You simply have the opportunity to try for them. Also, you don't have to pay for the $170.00 membership. The $50.00 membership gets you the same ticket-buying privileges. You just get a bunch of stuff for the higher-priced package, so I'd only go for that if they're offering stuff that you want. Personally, I'd save the extra cash and put it toward tickets! Some fan clubs limit the number of tickets you can buy over the course of a tour, but Backstage doesn't do it. So far the limits are 2 tickets to a show if you're buying the higher priced tickets and 4 if you're buying the cheaper ones.
