In the past - the front row seats were reserved for the fan club. This time with the GA pit, there were a number of General Admission tickets set aside for the fan club and there were also General Admission tickets sold to the public, some were also auctioned off on e-bay. The fan club got to enter first, then auction winners then general public GA tickets. So if you really wanted the first row or two the fan club was the way to go. In order to get the fan club tickets though - even as a member - you had to be at the venue on the date the fanclub put them on sale. If you didn't live close to the venue - you were still out of luck.

The fan club is in the process of reorganization right now. Probably, when the dust settles it will be run by different people and you will be able to join for future tours. Keep checking the Backstage website for updates if you are interested.
