I agree with his post, kind of. I don't think that being a part of LPU makes you a "super-fan" necessarily. Anyone who knows me personally would go ahead and lump me in that group, and I don't belong to the LPU.
That being said, I wish he would have addressed the price issue a little further. I agree with the analogy about paying to get "something." But, what are folks paying $60 ($10/month) for? Six-ish months in, and I still don't see what you get out of that, so I haven't re-upped. But that's my choice. For others, it may be for the concert pre-sales and meet-and-greets. It doesn't work out so well for me, living where the nearest concert (conceivably) would be 6 hours away (not really looking for sympathy here; I've gotten older and tired of traveling so much). But - you don't see me telling folks to not go for LPU because of my issues. To each their own; kinda like sadly, those who buy Bieber CDs (okay, they do deserve to be bashed a bit).
I wish there were more of a tiered system/tradeoff in place for those who can't go to shows. But I also understand that adage that eventually leads to, "you can't satisfy all people all of the time."
Crap, what's my point? I guess it's all about perception and being reasonable (something Mike did allude to in his post).
