A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com

WixRocks!:
The only positive of what has happened, is that the forum is now accessible from the main site. VERY upset that all my personal info, VIP pages, jukebox, all-access videos photos etc. is GONE that I've PAID for : Hope this gets straightened out....DEFINITELY a step back, right now. We Can Work It Out....right?
They actually said our 1 year membership would not start until all the bugs were worked out. Some people here said to wait till it coms out of Beta... We all thought our membership would go another year...no such luck. Very disappointed.

i never ever logged in and used any of the online perks, i only bought it for the presale access, but the fact that we've now lost that and are back with the mass pack of *everyone* in those useless email codes that never get sent on time etc.. it's wrong I've never got a good seat in that general presale pm.com do, but got good seats for the RAH gig from the premium presale - proof it was worth it. As much as i think it's wrong to charge, it's right if it lets us get the really really good seats. And everytime anyone posted all year about premium weren't we always told our start date only kicks in when the site goes proper rather than beta? So all year we've been told we'll have another year of it? But now instead with no warning we lose it altogether, when only one UK show was ever on sale in the whole premium membership lifetime. I dont know where the t shirt is, i don't even know where the rest of the pack is, there wasn't much worthwhile in it. I just feel a bit let down! Even though i never used the site! The pull of good presale seats, that was what made it worthwhile.. Maybe Paul's not going to play live much anymore, so decided it was wrong to trick us all into paying for perks that'll never get used?!

I honestly don't care. I got Premium Membership by default when I bought the Ram deluxe box. I wouldn't have shelled out for it on its own. I never agreed with the whole two-tier fan system. Having money doesn't make you a bigger or better fan and I'm glad to see it go.
After taxes, etc. my bill was $65...which I would've gladly paid to re-new if we were guaranteed exclusive concerts and other downloads.

I have my issues with my Premium Membership for instance I'm unable to reply to other members blogs as well I' still haven't received membership package after speaking to them twice; apparently its going to shipped out; that was two weeks ago. No big deal; $60 isn't that much for the annual membership.
-
This is terrible! What is going on? It was great the way it was before!! Now there is no Premium content, no Jukebox (which I loved!) I am VERY disappointed with this new site!
-
It could be worse! We could all be....Stones fans.

We were told we wouldn't have to renew this year since our paid membership did not kick in until after the BETA phase was through. So we basically paid for Beta.

Wix, The forum has been accessible from the main site for quite awhile now.

Well, I paid and I am a pioneer member. I loved all the features. The site was fun, and I really enjoyed it. I think we can all agree that this is some GRADE-A BULL SH*T.

I am beyond annoyed by this. What do you do when something needs improving? You listen to people paying for it and improve it. You don't just vanish it off the face of the earth, with no warning, no putting the idea to the customer. It's been taken away from us. It's like buying a sandwich from a shop, taking that first bite and then seeing the shopkeeper come and snatch it from your grasp and throw it away. Yes, premium membership wasn't perfect, but it was a great idea that just needed a lot of tweaking. My membership wasn't even up yet for the year. What happens now? The fans on this site are extremely dedicated to Macca and deserve, at least, the choice to get goodies, extra content and, most importantly, access to presales. Would you rather the non-fan scalpers get all the tickets and us fans get less of a chance? I respect some peoples choice not to have premium membership and their reasons behind it, but as someone who has put money into wanting a little bit extra... I feel incredibly ripped off. Please bring it back. I may never be able to get tickets to see Macca ever again.

www.paulmccartney.com takes you to the "new site" (which imho sucks) I loved the My Page/Friends and Jukebox especially.

someone should do a sign for the next concert to show Paul... I don't like your new site!

We'd be too far away for him to see it... seeing as we'd have no presale ticket. ...........

It's really terrible that the change on the site haven't been discussed with the fans. I'm truly disappointed with the absence of communication about the discontinuity of the site. I liked my page, with my friends, and also of all the things I had there. I believe that many fans think like me, and many of them will not come until the Maccaboard to express their thoughts. Very bad idea!

Someone has even written a news articles about this! I just received the "Thank you" email again, but this time they've taken the "we're getting rid of premium membership" section out. What does this mean?
-
Just read the email too, never signed up for full m/ship but was considering it, hope they can implement necessary changes that appeals to all.
-
As always change is rattling people's sense of comfort but it is necessary nonetheless thanks for streamlining the site keep us posted on your next changes

Who says it was necessary?!! Streamlining just removed all the good stuff!
