tvrec Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Cherry Tree just went live. It's a fan membership from The National, which like other band programs includes perks such as an Exclusive Annual Vinyl release. I imagine that vinyl will be a 7", but that is just an assumption right now. $50 US per year.

Oblivions Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I signed up earlier today. I think the cost is worth it, if just to avoid VC from leaking exclusive pre-order links hours before fans get the official emails about it.

timsimmons Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm giving it a shot. I just hope its a 12" with an EPs to an LPs worth of stuff (most likely live) as opposed to a 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they don't go the old R.E.M. fan club route and make it a 7" of the band playing a loosely rehearsed Christmas song. But $50 is (relatively) affordable even if the final tangible products are underwhelming. Merch exclusives are a big zero for me but the pre-order tickets might have value if/when they play LA again in the next 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 For me, I'll always use the Pearl Jam fan club as a baseline. Ten Club costs $40/yr and you get a 7", a shirt, a newsletter and a DL code for a bootleg. Plus the access to tickets and exclusive merch. Its always been a great club, and even if the single sucks or the shirt sucks (it usually does), it still feels like a good value. Thats why I'm hoping for at least a 12" with an EPs worth or material for the vinyl component. Hopefully it doesn't end up being like a cash grab. Hopefully in a world with 10c and TMR Vault, they can see what people find of value for these clubs and can deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that they haven't promised at all but would make the club my favorite thing in the world is if they stocked extra copies of RSD releases, like that Boxer live album, and/or had enough members to make member exclusive pressings of releases. I'm more happy to pay $50 a year to have access to buy a $40 record of something unique or weird or rare from them rather than an exclusive shirt/sweater design for $40-60.

timsimmons Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Boxer Live in Brussels is an RSD first release, so I'm sure a black wax version will be available everywhere by the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking out. I saw them play the Hollywood Bowl last year, which would normally fill my National live quota for a while, but my wife had a last second business trip so she missed out. Then we saw them this year at a 7 band radio station mega lineup but they played 5 songs and the crowd was walking around and talking during their set (and they didn't play Dark Side of the Gym, our favorite SWB track), so my wife still hasn't seen them in their full new record glory. Hopefully, we get two tickets to that Friday show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Barkley Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Still haven’t gotten my login after emailing them. I know it hasn’t been that long, but after dropping $50, I’d kinda like a little better customer service for this sort of thing. Grumble grumble...

(I hesitate to see them at such a large venue.) Palladium will be good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Does it say anywhere that the membership fee includes the exclusive vinyl? Or will there just be exclusive vinyl in the store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss when they'd play the Troubadour and I could stand 15 feet away from the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how scarce the availability is or how many Cherry Tree members there are but the pre-sale went pretty easy and smooth for me just now. I decided to do the Friday date since I have an early day job. Hope you got yours easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Barkley Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Finally got my code to the store. I had to reach out to them on twitter, and then email them again, but i'm in!

timsimmons Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Big fan of how the ticketing went on. I can only imagine that it will get more difficult as member numbers swell, but it was easy to buy and the seats are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was just able to pull up Rows 5-7 at Red Rocks a few hours after presale started. Didn't grab them as the show is on a Tuesday and travelling from SF to see them midweek isn't ideal.
