You know what's the worst part in this, that you (LPUHQ and LP) by setting up the prices this high dividing fans by their wealth not by their loyalty and support of the band... I don't see anything that can justify the $60 price for international fans.
All this "opportunities" for the most of international LPUers limited to web site access and chats with the band. Now website access will be free and what we get for 60 bucks? Chats (3-4 in a year), presale and M&G (if you got lucky and LP came to your country and you can afford the tickets), compilation of tracks that most of us have on CDs and 1 new track? For $60 bucks? Seriously?
We can't access US LPU parties, we can't participate in LPU referral program, we can't participate in any LPU contest and + there are some countries that not listed in Bandmerch => you can't buy any of LPU merchandise.
[sarcasm] Definitely "brand new, EXCITING opportunities"! [/sarcasm]
I will continue to support LP, I will continue to run my fan-site and therefore promote LP, but I don't see a sense in renewing LPU membership anymore. IF there TRULY going to be SOMETHING exciting and worth for spend $60, then you guys (LPUHQ and LP) should REVEAL IT along with the price, not in October...
