Hello Liberty,
In order to qualify for Legacy status, you must have had an active membership prior to 11:59pm Wednesday February 27th, 2013. If you signed up/renewed after this time you are a Standard member.
Thanks,
Rich

This was the reply I was given when I e-mailed. I am still conversing with him on several topics. I renewed on the 27th even though I was still active for another month, so I was safe and am in the first presale group.

Tom Petty's official Facebook says:
"Detailed information regarding Highway Companions Club Presales and Ticket Lotteries for the 2013 Summer Tour dates will be announced on Monday, March 4th on www.highwaycompanions.com"
-
I sent an e-mail out to that address as well. Hopefully I will get a reply soon.
If not, I will try my code during both presale days, I guess. I don't know.
It's just sad how you can run a "business" and allow all of the people trying to purchase tickets to have no clue what is going on.
You would think that they would get everything outlined and ready BEFORE the company/website announced ticket sales.
It's just idiotic that live nation/artist arena/whatever cannot run a business better than this and get a client like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
If I had a contract with a company, I would want them to work up to a certian standard, especially if my name was as popular as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Hello Playback!

Yes, I was wondering about the Legacy and Standard presale grouping too.
Would that be like the Group A and Group B from the 2010 tour, where current HCC members were in A and ones that joined the HCC just days after the dates were announced were in B? I wouldn't think that would work because of what they said about not accepting new memberships?
There isn't anything about it on the TP.com help page like usual. It's just common sense with no details right now.

Noblesville IN for me most likely. Anyone else for an Ohio ---> Indiana road trip?It looks like the Noblesville show for me too. It's only about a two hour drive for me, as I live about an hour north of Cincin.
It looks like a huge 6,000 seat with a enormous lawn, so it's not one of the smaller shows, but still should be great!

When I log in with my new password through this link:
https://fanclubs.artistarena.com/highwaycompanion/members/member.php
I get this page:

I click on "your payment history" in the middle section, and it shows that I paid for my membership...
However, it says this:

So I am not sure if members were automatically renewed, or if you need to pay to renew.
I paid just to be safe.
It says I paid 40.00, but it was 48.00 with the shot-glass shipping.
I'm still not sure if current members need to pay or if we were automatically renewed, but it is certian that you need to change your password:

-
My new password was sent within seconds.^
Cute shot glasses, though I'd rather have a t-shirt or a poster. I'll never use them.
Maybe for chocolate milk... or Diet Coke.

It says that the website/HCC has an entirely new administration team, so even though we're repeatedly promised a better website and we don't get it, maybe however-many-times is a charm!

On another note, the announcement tomorrow will be more concert dates.
I got another e-mail later today saying,
"Be on the lookout for a very special announcement about additional 2013 concert plans, coming Thursday, February 28."
:026: Yippie!
-
Thanks, Amber. Will do!

Well, I got it renewed.
Thanks Amber and Susan! -
I know! :020: I'm completely giddy over this.

"Wild Eyes"

I would say it's just a website *hosting service. Like vBulletin hosts/powers this website.
It could mean a re-design, yes. The forums right now are completely glitch-y and laid out incorrectly in the website code. They don't appear on the background right, are unreadable, etc.
It wouldn't surprise me if they plan to redesign the website to match the artwork of a new album, box set, re-release, etc. like they did for the Live Anthology.
I joined the website back in late 2008 or so right before they changed it from the "Runnin Down a Dream" documentary's black and yellow and red layout to match the artwork for the DVD/ Greatest Hits re-release.

WOW! I love this song by The Clash. I never knew about their cover... great!

"Lost in Your Eyes"
"Light from a window
Cold dark and black
Sound from a dream
I was hypnotized
I was paralyzed
I could hardly speak
And baby
Baby
You never realized
That
I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And not realized
Love isn't easy
It isn't always kind
I could have stood there
Lost in your eyes
Guess I understand it
Guess I sort of have to
Guess I kind of see
Just because it could have been
Doesn't mean it had to
Ever mean a thing
And baby
Baby
I could say it all the time
That
I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And not realized
Love isn't easy
It isn't always kind
I could have stood there
Lost in your eyes
and you know sometimes I wonder
Yes I wonder
I really really do
Ya yes I do
Just because it helps me
Though sometimes it scares me
Guess you wouldn't know
No you wouldn't know
Guess I understand it
Guess I sort of have to
Guess I kind of see
Just because it could have been
Doesn't mean it had to
Ever mean a thing
And baby
Baby
You never realized
I could have stood there lost in your eyes
Stood there waiting
And never realized
Love isn't easy
It isn't always kind
I could have stood there
Lost in your eyes
I could have stood there
……..end......."

Here's a transcription I did of "Long Way From Home."
"I don't want to hear your whole life story.
I just want to take you with me upstairs.
I'm not at all concerned with your past glories,
'cause there's no one in this place who seems to be all there.
and it's too much on a young boy,
to figure out alone.
And it gets hard to be
a long
way from home
I don't want to spoil the chance of a lifetime.
I just want to cover up a few mistakes.
You don't get another chance of a lifetime.
You just live life on lucky breaks.
And it's too much on a young boy,
to figure out alone.
And it gets hard to be
a long
way from home.
(?)And I don't care now, I just live life on love to help me get by???you to see that?(?)
I need time to see us survive.
I don't want to hear your whole life story.
I just want to take you with me upstairs.
I'm not at all concerned with you past glories,
'cause there's in this place who seems to be all there.
And it's too much on a young boy,
to figure out all alone.
and it gets hard to be a long...
and it gets hard to be a long...
and it gets hard to be a long...
... way from home."
[if you can figure out the bridge of the song, please comment. Thank you.]

-A thread for the Oldies... but goodies!-
Someone brought this song up on the officials, and since I had forgotten about it, I thought I would post it.
I transcribed the lyrics a few years ago and posted them, but if they don't sound right, feel free to correct them.
"Save Me"
"Verse:
Honey hold me, baby I would die if you should lie and let me go. Do you love me? Honey can't you see how much I need you for my own?
Chorus:
Ohhh Honeyyy, SAVE ME, Just do me a little favor baby. SAVE ME,never say you wanna go, SAVE ME, Just wrap your arms around me. I'm in trouble if you go away.
Verse:
Perhaps you would remember me just stumbling in the door? If you love me honey tell me, I need to know inside my heart.
Chorus:
Ohh honey SAVE ME Just do me a little favor baby, SAVE ME. never say you wanna go.. SAVE ME. Just wrap your arms around me... I'm in trouble if you go away. I'm in trouble if you go away...if you leave me, I'd just fade away, I'm in trouble if you go awayyyyyaeeayyyy.
Chorus:
Ohhh honey, SAVE ME Just do me a little favor baby, SAVE ME, Never say you wanna go, SAVE ME, well, just wrap your arms around me! I'm In trouble if you go away...I'm in trouble if you go away. If you leave me I just fade away, I'm in trouble if you go awayyyyyaeayyyyy!!!...
FADE AND END..."

I don't know about new message board, but instead of just reading the e-mail, I decided to go back and look at the links.
It's saying what all I can get in the HCC, but when I try to log in/or renew, it says my password is wrong.
I went back and logged into the regular site and my password worked just fine?
I'm not sure if I was automatically renewed or if I need to renew?
The regular site says my subscription ends on March 31st.

I got the same e-mail about an hour ago.

-
Nope, no gangs.
I used to be in Girl Scouts. LOL 
-
Love that "Heart Attack" very cool picture!

-
No, but I'd love to!
I've only seen them once, as I became a fan in about 2008/9.
Next time they go on tour though, I am planning to go to multiple shows!

-
My greatest fear is not dying of old age. Haha. I cannot stand the thought of having unfinished business. If I died, I would want to be really old or have a while to say goodbye and do lots of things with an illness.
I've never had any other fears. Spiders, heights, etc no big deal.
I think rats are cute
I always wanted a pet one.^ Susan, I've never heard of anyone having a deathly fear of leeches! That does sound scary. I've never seen any in person before.
I hate clowns, but I wouldn't say I'm genuinely afraid of them.
-
I always wear a band tee-shirt, but not of the band I am seeing.
Like I wore Tom Petty tee shirt when I saw Bob Dylan and a Bob Dylan tee shirt when I saw Tom Petty.
Good conversation starter.

Thank you.
Have a ton more. Haha

New Highway Companion Club Package Announced
in Great Wide Open
Posted · Report reply
I spoke with Rich as well. He was very helpful and patient. I explained to him that my code began with TPHBB but I had renewed on the 27th and was a Legacy Member. He sent me a new code, and then the next day the code on the website was changed.
He wished me good luck and in a nicer fashion, I basically said "ditto."
On another note, I won't use the coasters, but I love the bag!
I wonder what those premium tickets will cost me. *grumbles*.
Oh well. It's Tom Petty. :heart:
