joined for the ticket presale. in my naivity expected first choice on the best available tickets, not seats 2/3's of the way back in an 80,000 capacity venue. For the other shows i attended, i resorted to ebay - so don't know why i bothered with the presale anyway.
regarding the forum - i believe that the sheer volume of members of u2.com allows the terminally stupid the dominate the posts. Whereas on this forum the many intelligent and witty contributors are not diluted in the masses.
merchandise - i used the discount for a poor quality t-shirt.
exclusive content - haven't seen anything available worth praising, with the exception of willies contributions.
other membership benefits - keychain (useless), Cardboard cd sleeves (ok).
will i re-subscribe? no
am i bitter? no, just feel that a band who have always offered more than the rest, and have fans more loyal than the rest, should be able to run a fan club/site that reflects this.
