Title: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Daedalus on August 29, 2007, 05:01:16 PM
What the fuck?

from heartagram.com
"On 9/4, HIM will be announcing new shows in the US and Canada, and on that day, you can get tickets before anyone else, plus pre-order Venus Doom and get one-month membership to the new HIM Club! Stay tuned for more info."

Ok, so give me barely a week's notice that I gotta set money aside for concert tickets on top of all the money I'm giving you in the next month for all 8 versions of Venus Doom and the Kiss of Dawn singles? What's this membership crap? What are we getting out of it? Why does heartagram have to be so damn cryptic all the time?! Just show us up front all the details. Grrr.

This is an excerpt from heartagram.com:

On 9/4, HIM will be announcing new shows in the US and Canada, and on that day, you can get tickets before anyone else, plus pre-order Venus Doom and get a free one-month membership to the new HIM club! If you don't want to take part of this, or have already pre-ordered the album, you can get tickets by themselves on Thursday the 6th! The shows are general admission, so you won?t miss out by getting them then. And make sure you blah blah blahhhh!!!!

Oh shit, all general admission shows? Fuckin' kick ass! I love it when they play in smaller venues!

none of that "i pay more, im closer" bullshit...
the most hardcore fan who will sit out there for hours, they are the one who will be closest...
thats the way it should always be
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Davidson955 on August 29, 2007, 07:50:40 PM
exactly who cares about pre-ordering the album..when tickets go on sale, get em, go way ahead of time before the show and see them GREAT!
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: lovemetal626 on August 29, 2007, 11:29:34 PM

Post by: Bender Bending R. on August 30, 2007, 02:55:18 AM
really, i just have read it from heartagram site, and i cannot understand
"plus order a copy of the regular edition of venus doom and you will get"
well i think i dont like what i understand, so i've already spend a lot of money in the special limited edition, and they still want we order the regular edition to get the one month mermbership to the club, probably they will send the code next to the album, and after one month you will have to pay again, if you like
incredible they want to squash us as oranges
what kind of news secction they have?  from 6 news that you can see on the front page without scrolling, 5 are money-making.

really incredible
and this is not all, but if you search on german amazon or any other german shop, you will find that sonybmg/gun is releasing a double cd that includes razorblade romance and deep shadows albums, i dont know how it looks but  the release its just 10 days or less before than Venus doom

i like to collect and have HIM stuff, but i'm not RICH
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Rasta666 on August 30, 2007, 08:56:34 AM
i think this fan club idea is not gonna be a good idea either...
come one, don't force ppl into paying just because some young HIM fans want to be the biggest fan...
WB really has them by the balls...
i hope this fan club thing doesnt work out cuz i dont wanna join, and i know im retarded enough to join something i dont wanna pay for...  >:(

Fuck that.  What does the club have to offer besides a new group of assholes?  Special XKLUSIF 30 second interviews that will end up on youtube anyway?  First stab at not-hard-to-come-by tickets?  More cryptic messages that sound promising but in the end amount to nothing?  More contests that sound somewhat promising, but we never really hear about the winners?

Anybody else see a correlation between HIM's tour with Metallica and the new money milking schemes?

Maybe Lars sat down with our boys and made them a business plan...

Lars: (With stupid accent) "So yeah, Vial (Ville), Warners should make you guys a fan club, where you can charge a monthly fee.  It costs little to run, but it brings in truck loads of money.  That's what we, in the biz, like to call profit.  It's almost like the fans are buying an Ireland-only Ultra Deluxe Luxory feather bound edition of your new album Dark Doom, Venus Light, whatever you call it, every month!"

Sorry, that was stupid.  I'm bored.

The ultimate package is just a ticket before anyone else can get one, a CD, 1 month membership to the club, the ability to listen to the full album before it's released...nothing that huge.  Not worth it.

So listening to Venus Doom before it comes out isn't worth the price to pre-order it? It's only $14 to pre-order and get the one month membership.

I will be severely disgusted if the only way to preview the album is to join this fan club. That's kind of like shitting on the dicks of all of those people who payed $50 for the album already...

Special and limited edition both will cost me 102 $

Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Davidson955 on September 04, 2007, 02:11:02 AM
Since tickets are about $30, will the overall price for doing thisfanclub crap be $44??? or is the $44 for the fan club and ticket then the cd will be added onto the price to make it around $60

It doesn't seem very fair. You're essentially paying to hear something you've already bought.
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?

When u sign up for all this, and after the free month are they going to keep charging you for the club????
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Davidson955 on September 04, 2007, 07:42:39 AM
But it also says "get a permanent 10% off all merch"so you can't get a that deal if you only join for a month. Maybe there will be a place to say that u only sign up for a month instead a year???? Im so confused but o well i will check and see.???
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: RaKoHaMMaS on September 04, 2007, 08:00:43 AM
I'd say that after the free month you can buy the 25 $ year renewal.
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Davidson955 on September 04, 2007, 08:02:40 AM
I never really thought of that, great idea! It wouldn't really make sense to keep charging you, well atleast I would be pist off. I never joined a "club" before so I wouldn't know.
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: RaKoHaMMaS on September 04, 2007, 08:05:07 AM
It's a trial month. Anyway, it should be for all who pre-ordered any of the versions of the product they are selling. With an activation code or something like that inside the package.
Title: Re: "The Ultimate HIM package"?
Post by: Davidson955 on September 04, 2007, 08:06:30 AM
Hold on, any of the versions??? If i already pre-ordered the regular cd (no limited edition oranything) and got e-mailed the activation code for the pre-sale, do I have to go through all that HIM club stuff, would i be able just to get tickets???

You will get the tickets no matter what because the tickets were with ticketmaster. After you pre-ordered them you got a reciept. The only problem is that the site is going slow and the codes will not work

Got a Email from Heartagram about club

Don’t miss this— we’ll be posting new clips constantly in the club-member-only section of the site. First up, more audio and video clips from the Detroit show filmed during the Dark Light tour. Plus there will be more contests to win cool prizes, like autographed CD booklets. The very same booklets that Burton is seen signing in the exclusive video section of the club.

Next will be the exclusive fan club premiere of a set of short film collaborations between Ville and Stefan Lindfors, who directed the Funeral of Hearts video. These films will not be see by the public outside the fan club until the CD/DVD release in 2008! Don’t miss these unique films!
