Think you missed MY point, Tom - in that I'm being entirely cynical of the fan club and sympathising with you 100%. I know there hasnt been an official statement regarding it - what I'm implying is that I think your 1 day advance on presales (which no doubt many of you bought hoping for theatre shows for a tour that hadnt been announced but which was hinted at) is about as good as you're going to get from these crooks in so far as getting something that everyone else DIDNT get is concerned
However, the DVD doesnt exist and never has done,some 18 months after they invited applications for it. IF you ever get one, it will be something that (as of now) hasnt even been put together. I think in the FAQ on the site which was updated when the current tour was announced, they stated that they were going to get the DVDs sent out around July.
Now you mention though, maybe they'll end up sending you all a copy of the special edition Bigger Bang CD & DVD package - which no doubt will arrive several months after you've all bought the bloody thing anyway. It'll be a bit like all those "40 Licks" cds sent out with the last membership which everyone had already bought
