It's true that management company's have been able to provide services in
the past to get tickets for fan club members. Many of the bands that do this
type of thing have an "official" fan club that works with the record
company. I did put a proposal to Trinifold Management about this three years
ago and it was explained to me that there were a lot of practical reasons
why this task would be like opening a large can of worms. I don't need to go
into all the details, but to do this type of service for the fans would have
proved to be a major task that would have proven to be very costly and time
consuming to people like Hugh, Mark McFall, Dave Lewis, Liz Hames and myself.
