WB shareholders wont be happy to read that, but getting 2026 tickets was SO much easier than 2025...2024 was almost a fight.

Thats hilarious...I literally got more when I went enterprise conventions, for free....The Stage backdrops pouches stuff, I really wonder if its actually upcycled or inspired by....cool idea on one hand, but on other hand its LITERALLY recycled garbage, they'd have thrown away. Also I can't believe they had so much fabric to recycle that they have thousands of these pouches, so they could at least have signed them, yes sometimes you take a day for your fans or at least like 500 limited first come first get. Ye no, thats garbage....a fucking pen 10 cents in sourcing ffs. Next year a power of attorney form is included to be signed and mailed to wb, so they can directly pump our bank accounts.... Insane, just insane

Are you 100% sure, you get that with 10$ sub? I remember I had to upgrade. Edit: yup...its 25$ to pay them 180€...how generous

I genuinely don't understand how Linkin Park Underground gets away with being this fucking bad. It's been almost TWO YEARS since LP came back, and what has LPU actually become? It took them something like 18 MONTHS just to implement the Discord account connection properly so the fucking LPU-only Discord channel works. Eighteen months!!!!!! To connect a paid membership to a Discord role. For the official fan club of one of the biggest bands on the planet. And after all that, what do we actually get? A Discord channel. Ticket presales. Maybe early entry at selected shows. Access to an exclusive store where you can... give them more money. A merch discount so you can... give them more money. A rewards system based around buying merch so you can eventually get credit toward... buying more merch.(which is not even implemented) And after staying subscribed for TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS, your big loyalty reward is: :drumroll: ANOTHER FUCKING TICKET PRESALE TIER. Amazing. Where is the actual FAN CLUB? Where is the new exclusive LPU music? Where are the demos and annual releases that used to make LPU special? Where are the proper band AMAs? Where are the chats with band members? Where are the LPU live sessions? Where is the genuinely exclusive behind-the-scenes content? Where are the Meet & Greets? Where is the feeling that you're actually closer to LINKIN PARK because you're part of LINKIN PARK UNDERGROUND? Instead, the current music benefit is basically access to archived LPU material in shitty quality and shitty UX. We're paying a recurring subscription to access the history of a fan club that used to give its members more than the current fan club does. That's fucking insane. LPU used to mean demos, unreleased tracks, physical fan packages, Meet & Greet opportunities, exclusive content and actual interaction with the band. Now you pay every year and half the “benefits” boil down to: PAY MONEY → GET ACCESS TO BUY THINGS BUY MERCH → GET DISCOUNT BUY MORE MERCH → GET POINTS BUY TICKETS → MAYBE GET EARLY ENTRY STAY SUBSCRIBED FOR YEARS → GET TO BUY TICKETS EARLIER So we're basically paying for the privilege of being marketed to. And don't even get me started on the website. It's embarrassing. It took 18 months to get a Discord membership connection working and the actual website still feels like something I could shit out in an afternoon. This isn't some tiny fan project being maintained by two people after work, which arguably would be better if it was.... This is LINKIN PARK. One of the biggest bands of the last 25 years. Its so frustrating... we should absolutely pay for LPU if they actually PUT SOMETHING INTO IT. Give us studio diaries. Give us rough demos. Give us unfinished songs. Give us rehearsal footage. Give us proper long-form band Q&As. Give us member livestreams. Give us production breakdowns. Have Mike open some ancient Pro Tools session and talk through it for an hour. Literally just make it feel like a FAN CLUB. Instead LPU increasingly feels like a paid loyalty program attached to the Linkin Park store and ticket presales. How shamelessly they're willing to milk the hardcore fans while seemingly putting the absolute minimum effort back into the actual membership is beyond me. And somehow barely anyone talks about it. No. I'm done. I will not resubscribe.

Hey guys anyone looking for a LPU PIT ticket. I cant attend unfortunately. Selling for 01 and 03 will give good LPL friends and family discount

Could watch these sessions for hours.

Orange - non-features/non-perks/0-value Red - SCAM/wont deliever/why even mention Green - Cash milking Agree or not, thats my opinion as a fan of almost 20 years. I am still loyal to the band and got all the tickets for next year and subscribed to this BS. But at least lets be honest about what this is and be honest with each other.

You realize these tickets cost extra-extra right? Its not like they give us gifts or anything

You paying?

My best guess: the apprentice who was assigned to LPU was fired or maybe he found another company and now they have nobody to finish it. Thats the best case, because if THAT was made by anybody with ANY sort of reasonable development experience, then sorry, the person has chosen a wrong job. I could shit out better everything in less than a day. Including the ticketmaster API connection, discord connector and a lpu Music/Video catalogue thats not hosted externally (lmao). Its insulting how bad the LPU experience is, considering it has been created with hardcore fans in mind who often spend thousands of dollars on the band. At this point just drop it, ngl. Just call it LP Concert Pre-Sale Center, charge ten bucks for it, but don't pretend to have a fan club, because it is not a fan club by any measure. Sorry guys, but this shit makes me mad af. (and you should mad as well)

https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Hybrid_Party_Of_A_Thousand_Things Just by judging this alone, running out of stuff will never be a valid reason. And I am sure its just a fracture off some leftover gear, there are tons and tons and tons of things to share. At this point it's either some twisted "don't oversaturate the market to create artificial scarcity" kind of thing, or they just don't bother anymore / have nobody working on this stuff full time.

It has to be a joke.....No meet and greets, no music, very shitty f-tier website, took them over 9 months to enable Discord integration to a LPU Channel with mods on constant powertrips. Only "value" is a chance to give them big cash on ticket pre-sales before anybody else does....and now this shitty bundle. They really need to do better than this, considering for whom this fan club was made for.

Is anyone looking for tickets? edit: nvm

You guys need therapy....so much negativity, it reads like a mental problem.
