FAQ: GLOBAL PSC Fanclub!
Global PSC FC was set up in October of 2010. In the beginning many people were very sceptical about it. And, truth be told, it wasn’t very spectacular back then. Now one year has passed and the Global FC has grown remarkably!
We would therefore like to lessen its bad reputation, and tell you about the PROS of this fanclub (from a Gazette fan point of view) and, because I’ve been asked frequently in the past, also make a short FAQ ♥
Let’s start with the pros!
+ All PSC bands are included! (If you are a fan of at least two bands, you will pay just as much as if you were joining two fanclubs! Usually fanclub fees are around 5'000Yen. If you only like the GazettE you have to decide for yourself if it is worth it for you, but actually you get two fanclubs as well, but later more.)
+ It’s designed especially for overseas fans and has therefore many advantages like →
+ Overseas ticket sales (very often with VERY good seats (5-10th row) / ticket numbers, as you will get a FANCLUB ticket!)
+ Overseas online shop! (Totally amazing, especially for Gazette items! You can buy a quite large collection of tour goods you can hardly buy anywhere else if you’re not going to the lives. There are no additional service charges that you would have to pay when using a shopping service. Shipping is very reasonable and quite standard.)
+ You can buy fanclub magazines for a very fair price! (500Yen)
+ HERESY content! After many fans have complained and stated their worries about not being able to see the blogs anymore, you will now get access to HERESY blogs, videos, pictures, etc as well! You also have access to Alice Nine’s and Kra’s fanclub!
+ There is already some the GazettE content which is exclusive for GFC members.
+ Fans can participate in a lot of things! For example, there was a fanart contest where fans could win a comment from the band they were drawing a picture of.
+ Good customer service! If you have questions or suggestions they answer your E-Mails quite quickly!
+ You won’t be able to rip videos! =3 Their system is quite safe, so the videos are very hard to rip! FGC staff will also know how to find out who has willingly shared fanclub content against the rules.
Some critique:
– Gazette content is yet a bit scarce, but they've got the biggest selection of goods you can buy!
– I can’t think of anything else at the moment! laugh For some people the price might be too high, but you really get quite a lot of service for the money!
FAQ
Q: How do you pay for a membership? And how does the renewal work ?
A: There are two ways!
1. With subscription
2. Without subscription
With subscription means that you need to have a Paypal account with a credit card attached to it. If your membership expires, it will automatically charge the fee you pay for renewal! If you don’t have a subscription, you will have to remember when your membership expires and pay the renewal fee manually! (Note: You will receive a notification E-Mail two weeks prior to your membership expiration date! [thanks @theGazettE_USA_for this info! :D])
Q: How much does it cost?
A: It depends on whether you have a membership with or without subscription!
With subscription: 10’000Yen for the first year, 8’000Yen for every year that follows
Without subscription: 10’000Yen for the first year, 10’000Yen for every year that follows
Q: How does the shop work?
A: If works like a normal shop, and is very easy! Since you already registered online with you name and adress and PayPal etc, you can actually just go and happily put things into your shopping cart! After that you will be able to choose shipping options (EMS and Airmail, and if I remember correctly also SAL) and confirm your order. Done! :D
If you join the Global Fanclub, please keep in mind that it’s a fanclub and that the contents of this fanclub (like HERESY’s conents) should be fanclub only and not be shared anywhere! Especially since you can also view HERESY conents and the other band’s Japanese fanclubs!
If you have any questions or anything to say, please feel free to ask! We will gladly help you with any questions (though we are by no means experts or anything, but we’d still be glad to help! =3)
