All Change!

The Official Genesis website is going to change. From next week the site administration will change hands and be run by Ultrastar Entertainment (co-founded by David Bowie), who specialize in online fan club management. Their current portfolio includes; INXS, The Rolling Stones, and newly reunited, The Police.

New content will include a live chat area, a members blog area, a member's gallery, a tour section as well as a forum. The forum in it's current state will be shutdown and you will have to re-register on the new site. Probably the most important addition is that they will be offering yearly memberships for $35. For a lot of fans, it will not be necessary, but for the many thousands of American's waiting for the US 2007 tour dates, it will be necessary to pay for a membership in order to participate in the ticket presales.

There is a current discussion on the forum created by the Ultrastar Client Manager who will oversee the new site and it's transition/integration. You can read about all the intricate details and ask questions here.

More detailed information on this when we have it.

Lastly, the band will be taking online questions from fans posted during the Press Conference on March 7th.

Don't forget to post about the outrage that's currently on the Genesis messageboards about this new news.

American fans are pissed off about the $35 charge and rightly so, not to mention that fans who don't want to pay still have to give up their credit card information just to keep posting.

Total bollocks!
