I don't remember ever being given the option. Maybe it will jog my memory and allow me to remember if I simply misunderstood and screwed myself out of a legacy membership. I will say you are right though. When I was told I got a Classic Membership I just rolled my eyes and gave up, because it was almost expected back then that you would get screwed over. Honestly there were multiple years I and others paid for a membership and basically got little to nothing in return. That really did sour me on the whole thing. It was too long ago. I can't recall. I think there was a payment method much like how you would pay for their merchandise. Some third party company?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jean 9,582 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 3 hours ago, tscott said: If you didn't pay them a one time fee, then you would simply be reduced to a Classic membership, which entitles you to nothing but maybe a percentage off of merchandise. That being said, that statement that was made at the ICON fan club, which@andifeelprovided above, was made at the time when morale in the fan club was at its lowest. Up to that point, Icon failed to deliver for several years for a paid membership. For several years, the fee kept increasing, but fans were getting less and less. The Icon magazines started never coming and eventually went digital. The promised gifts ended up being cheap and cheesy. (Anyone remember the plastic "Sticky and Sweet" ring that was gifted to Icon members? LOL). So when Icon tried to lure people in to pay for a Legacy Lifetime membership, no one trusted them by that point. The one time they actually came up with a great gift which was a limited copy of "Broken" on Vinyl took several years and someLegacy members never got one. I don’t even remember it happening that way. As I recall I was a member up until 2004 and when I emailed them asking about being a legacy member they told me I wasn’t eligible. So there cannot have been any option for past members to just pay and become legacy otherwise I’d be one. In any case it was inconsistent and correspondence with emails was bad too. Everyone had an icon story back then. That thing with the Broken vinyls was especially bad. I remember the laugher on forums when they finally received them, it was literally years later.

I had forgotten about it, but now that @andifeelmentioned it, I recall the invite to be a Legacy member. The thing was, a lot of people were fed up with the fan club. Most people didn't think it was worth it anymore, so they left. At the time, they didn't announce what the membership gift would be, but most people just brushed it off since the earlier gifts were cheesy. Then at some point they announced the "Broken" limited Vinyl release. Many people were pissed off. Though like I mentioned, it took them two years to send it out and I don't believe all the Legacy Members got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of us were 13 back then and didn’t even have a credit card. It’s unfair that we can’t have access to presales not even paying anymore.

Yes, the payment for the membership renewal is by credit card, like the rest of ICON merchandise. My disappointment for their lousy service over the years had led me to give up the chance of upgrading to legacy membership at the time. Do I regret it? Not at all to be honest. I love my Broken 12” vinyl, though. tscott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rga98 174 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 According to a Mexican concert leaker on Twitter Madonna has a show at “Foro Sol” on January 24th, 2024. And she’ll also be visiting Guadalajara and Monterrey in here. He could be reliable but I’m not sure. I hope it’s true and I hope I can count on someone in here to share a legacy code with me in case it’s true 🙏🏼🥺 Blue Jean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakeyerdix 1,068 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Honestly... This all bullshit... I'm sure none of this dates are full. It's just communication to create some desire and have the media saying Madonna is making successful sales and then people try to get tickets as it's becoming a big event. I was able to enter ticketmaster at 10pm directly without waiting this morning. Just few minutes ago and there are ZERO Pit tickets at all. Zero front stage standing golden circle. All packages are available of course... They just try to sell most expensive tickets first... I will go only once. I'm fed up with this fuck off live nation stupid attitude and total disrespect to people... Since Madonna is at livenation it's just more expensive each time. Concert are worst than before livenation (ok there's probably no link) but just to say, when I was paying 45€ for DWT, 55€ for RIT and 70€ for CT, concerts were 10000 times much impressive than all motherfucking livenation ones whom I paid much more expensive fucking price... This is just bad. And then good Madonna preach us respect, love and bullshit... like if we needed to get a lesson from her and her fucking crew.... madgefan, FallingInLove, liquidlove88 and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all want to know how the staging is going to be and what surprises M has for us this time, so I've tried to imagine and create a concept of the Celebration Tour for us to brainstorm around it, just like in past tours! the main question to me is still how is she going to move between stages and runways.... my best bet is movable bridges dropping from the roof, much like the Re-Invention Tour and the bridges used in Gaga's Joanne Tour. what are your opinions??

I mean, it wouldn't be in Ticketmaster or Madonna's best interest to be deceptive about whether a show is sold out or not. While people who're experienced with seeing shows knows that at a later point in time, there's a chance that more seats may become available either through a new ticket dump or via fans returning or reselling their tickets, casual concert goers do not. For most casual audience members, if they hear a show is sold out, then they're going to stop trying. If they're saying the show is sold out, then the show is sold out. That does not include resale tickets because while yes those tickets are available (at a major markup from the reseller usually) they have technically already been bought so if no one buys the resale, that seat is still considered bought. For all intents and purposes, the shows they're saying are sold out are at this moment sold out, only resale tickets available.
