Topic: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

One of the most common questions I get is:
"I have been a member of newsletter/fan club/street team since Joe was 2. Why did I not receive an e-mail with information about Joe playing in the venue across the street from my house that I walk past every day." (obviously exaggerating a bit I'm on here at 11PM on no sleep, it happens)

Well there may be some reasons for that, these trouble shooting questions will make it a little easier:

-When's the last time you actually used the e-mail you signed up with?
-do you have multiple e-mail accounts?
-did you check all of those e-mail accounts?
-Have You checked your junk mail folder?
-did you sign up with a fake e-mail address?
-Maybe you unsubscribed and thought magically you were still on our e-mail list?

Going through this trouble shooting list will make it a little faster for you to get the desired result.


How do you properly sign up for the newsletter and receive e-mail notification of upcoming shows and other super wicked cool Bonamassa stuff?

Step 1: Go to www.jbonamassa.com
Step 2: look for the button that says subscribe or newsletter (we constantly update it to keep it fresh/hip/frustrating)
Step 3: fill in all your information Name, e-mail, country, state with the CORRECT information.
             If you live in different parts of the country please put the part that is most convenient for you to find out about shows.

The geographical information is not for us to spy on you. It is how we know that Joe is coming close to your city and we can let you know about it. In other words, if you don't tell us where you live then there is no way for me to know Joe is going to be playing near you.

Just set it and FORGET IT!
Hope this clears up some stuff.

An excellent idea. Because you know Joe ain't gonna stop touring any time soon, and this will come up again...and again...and again...   big_smile

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

I followed your direction Alexis and signed up again.  Does it make sense to think if it didn't say,  "You are already a subscriber." that my subscription wasn't current?  I am just trying to figure it all out for future reference on how often we should be "re-signing up."    Is there something that "deactivates us" that we can watch for?  When you say :"Just set it and FORGET IT!" I am afraid to do that based on what you said in the first part.....maybe I am just worrying too much...I know I can be that way.  Greatly appreciate all your help and just trying to understand it better.

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

If we can only stop the Scalpers from getting on board with this....these pre sale notices do help out for the Fans who want tcickets...

I doubt if the Scalpers are fans themselves......most don't even know who Joe is.

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

I have a question about how the geographical areas for show emails is set.  I received presale notices for Rhode Island, Connecticut and the two upstate New York shows but not for the Portland, Maine show.  Portland, ME is closer to me than the Connecticut and New York shows.  Are there mileage parameters or how is it done?  I for one would like to see the "mileage" parameter if there is one set higher.  I have driven as far as Baltimore (from Boston) for a show and there are plenty of folks here who would drive a very long way for a show if there wasn't one in their local area.


And Alexis - get some sleep.  You guys did a great job with this presale - thank you.

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

I don't want to see Joe in my local area, i wanna see Joe where Joe goes = translation ..... is there anyway Alexis i, (we  wink ), all signed up street teamers can get these codes and tickets if we want to do a pre planned Roadtrip.

thats why a allocation of say 50 tickets in each town/city would cover those street teamer in that area and any who would be there or willing to travel to.

great efforts by the way to combat scalp sites and brokers,

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

Safecrackers will always find a way to break into the new improved safe, cat burglars will always find a way to breach the latest home security system, and the scalpers will always find a way around ticket sales security measures. As I mentioned in another topic, Joe is no longer Bona-Who? I'm happy for him and just as woeful as the rest of you over the pains of getting our hands on the best seats that was so easy to do a couple of tours ago.

Might just have to float some money off of one of my  "Ace in the Hole"  player/dealer dawgs and out maneuver the current  rip-off circus.  I'll scalp 'em my way.

Re: How to receive e-mails about Joe's upcoming shows

Talking about scalpers, on a hunch I looked up tickets for the May 10, 2012 show in Nashville and as of 4:00 yesterday there were many seats in the front row or front orchestra section but when I looked again last night there might have been fifteen seats left in the entire section. We attended Savannah and Atlanta and tickets did not go this fast so I'm thinking somethings up.

Most likely people bought tickets as christmas presents.
