I´m really sad that I have to get official with this but I feel like I no longer have a choice..
About 5-6 months ago I ordered some t-shirts from roxettedirect and I still haven´t got them. I´ve been trying to contact the fanclub but without any results.. (Chantie, don´t take this personal, I´m NOT talking about you!)
What shall I do? I have already payed,stupid as I am, and it was pretty much money, about 50 euro.
Is there anyone of you who‘ve had the same problem? This is illegal, they have stolen my money, and if nothing happens soon I guess I have to go to the police and that is NOT what I want to do in the first place..

Yeah, the Fanclub doesn’t take it too seriously. It all went wrong after 2000. I’m still waiting for some Roxette Reviews I’ve paid for.

What is that for a fanclub when you can’t order there anything without feeling betrayed??
And what is that for a fanclub when you are told by other people not to buy there?
I can’t believe that Marie and Per still support this people!

Earlier I was wondering who said that they are THE official fanclub? And what the hell is being official? They don’t do anything for the fans.
And since they claim to be the official fan club, it will always be so? Even though there are only complaints and complaints about their “activity”?

Beeing official means that they got their “blessings” from EMI Sweden, they are supporting them with information and so on. I think that´s it.
I asked EMI once because me and a friend thought that this fanclub was really lousy and wanted to start a new one. BUT EMI said that to be allowed to start an official fanclub we needed their permission, and since they thought that the fanclub worked fine (????), we coludn´t.
BUT they also said that we was free to start any kind of unofficial fanclub and the question is if the time has com now. What do you think?
Pascal said on August 11, 2002 11:15:
But in that case the annoying thing is that you probably won’t get any news from EMI Sweden while the official fanclub always gets news from EMI.
So an unofficial fanclub doesn’t make any sense in my humble opinion. But if you really want to, well, there is no-one who will hold you back from doing it.

people you seem to never learn, as Pietroxette says! A friend of mine was a member of the fanclub and after paying the fee (which is far from being cheap) she got *nothing* even by that time she joined there was a magazine sent (must be LONG ago). But posting the complaints here is not going to solve the fact that the people behind the Official fanclub are complete unable to run the FC, well, I guess that the persons who have complaint here will get their orders soon, so to make you shut up, as always, but this won´t prevent others to get cheated!
My friend wrote to Roxette management to complaint and she got a letter to appologize and some signed CDs, I think that was nice of Dimberg&Co.
So I encourage you to do the same, to write there, so they get to know what kind of people is running the FC: they are just moving a finger when there is something with Roxette coming, I believe to show EMI/Dimberg that they are indeed doing something (3 months out of 12, that´s it), and they only do it so they get backstagepasses, hundreds of pictures that they are selling then at a very high price, etc etc. Oh yeah, they gave away passes for plain fans, but of course, it wouldn´t have been nice to ask Dimberg for just 5 passes for their people - they would let the management see how much they care about fans = ZERO!
If you want to have the address (or email address) for Dimbergs office, write me an email and I will let you know. I think everybody should do it, besides the fact that they will get to know all the sh*t about the FC, I think they will get bothered enough as to take some steps in this subject. I believe new people should be in charge of the Fanclub, or make it disappear at once, it´s better to have NO fanclub, rather than having a fanclub that´s not working at all!

I only can say: forget the fanclub!!!
I ordered some years ago some items from the FC and had to wait for my stuff an 3/4 year!!!!
And I’m still waiting for reviews which I payed for!!!

Hej camillarox!
Would be really nice if you send me the adress, I think we really should do something.
And I totally agree with you: Better NO FC than THIS!!
Bibi said on August 12, 2002 09:25:
I think it would be easier if you left the address here in this topic!
