Learn More About The NSide
The Nsider is a special and exclusive club for loyal *NSYNC fans. With that in mind, we created this section of our website to not only be a place where members could access tons of unique content and news, but also be a place where fans could get closer to each other and closer to *NSYNC. We really think you'll enjoy being a member!
Membership Benefits
As an Nsider member you will be entitled to the following:
Access to the Nside
Members will have unlimited access to the Nsider area of the *NSYNC web site. The area currently includes the following features and content:
Voice Mail - This groundbreaking online voice mailbox allows the guys to leave voice messages from any phone, anywhere, and have those messages immediately digitized and posted to the Nsider site. Whether they are inside the studio, on the tour bus, or out with friends the guys will be letting their fans know what they are up to.
Message Boards - *NSYNC fans from across the globe can post and read questions, comments, and thoughts about the group. Unlike other message boards, this one will be monitored by the guys themselves and will occasionally be a place where they can actually join in the conversation!
Live Band Chats - The Nsider was designed to be a place where fans could get closer to the group and that is exactly what you will be able to do during our live chat sessions. Once a month an *NSYNC member (or members) will join in for an hour-long chat with Nsiders. Stayed tuned, though, because although we are scheduling chats once a month you never know when one of the guys will get the urge to talk to fans and schedule an impromptu chat session!
The Nside Scoop - The Nside Scoop is the only place for real inside news about the group. Tour dates, special appearances, collaborations, all of it will be announced on the Nside before anyone else hears about it! Fans can now find out what the guys are, and are not, doing rather than having to guess what stories are fact or fiction.
The Video Vault - Think you've seen it all when it comes to *NSYNC videos? Well, whether you have or haven't, the Video Vault is going to be the place where you'll find those seldom seen or hard to find videos. From TV commercials and backstage footage to the making of some of their most popular music videos, you are sure to find it in the Video Vault.
Update! We've just added 10 new video clips from the latest CFTC (Challenge for the Children) Charity Basketball Event to the Video Vault.
VIP Invitations
As an Nsider member you will have opportunity to attend certain special events with the group or group members. These events, which will occur at various locations around the world, will give Nsider members the chance to not only get on the guest list but to also perhaps meet the members of the group. All Nsider members will be informed, by e-mail, before an event takes place. Access to these events will be on a first come first served basis and will be restricted to Nsider members only.
Exclusive Merchandise Offerings
Have you ever wanted to own something totally unique? Well, as an Nsider you just might get the opportunity. At different times during the year, Nsiders will get the opportunity to bid on, or to purchase (depending on item), unique or limited edition merchandise available only to Nsiders.
Future Benefits
In the future we will be adding great benefits like:
Special Advance Access to Concert Tickets
In the future, Nsiders will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to shows in advance of the public ticket release. While there is no current tour scheduled, as soon as one is announced Nsiders will be given instructions on how to purchase advanced tickets.
Song Previews / Internet Listening Party
Nsiders can be some of the first to listen to new music by the band itself or individual band members, streamed right to your computer!
Candid Camera
Melinda Bell, (Group Manager), along with *NSYNC friends and family have taken tons of candid and fun photos of the guys over the years. In the future you will be able to check them out exclusively as an Nsider!
Contests
We all know the guys go to the best parties and events. From time to time the guys would like to exclusively offer Nsiders Contest winners the opportunity to accompany them to different events!
Membership Information
The Nsider Membership fee is $29.95 for 12 months. Membership is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. residents.
Acceptable forms of payment include: Visa, Mastercard or American Express. There is currently no system in place to pay by cash, phone, or check. We are working on this for the future.
Please note: Membership is only open to those who are 13 years old and up.
Nsider Membership Policies and Terms
*Nsync has tried to make Nsider membership affordable, easy and worthwhile. We want all Nsiders to feel that they are part of a special group of loyal fans. Because of this we want to make sure that everyone is aware of the terms of membership and that abuse of these terms will result in the loss of Nsider privileges. The terms of membership are as follows:
+ Only one Nsider membership is allowed per person. You will be prevented from logging on multiple times with the same emaill address and password. Should we detect abuse, these memberships will be cancelled without a refund.
+ Your Nsider membership may not be sold and/or transferred to another user. Transfer of membership to another user will result in termination of membership without refund.
+ Nsider members have the ability to edit your user information at anytime by clicking on the "Edit My Profile" link located in the log in box on the main Nsider page. In addition to being able to update your user information, Members can choose to opt out of any future mailing by clicking the appropriate opt-out button in their profile. Members will also find their membership expiration date in this area.
How Do I Join?
To become an Nsider you can click the "Click Here to Join" button on the main Nsider page. Once you have signed up you will receive a confirmation email recognizing your date of membership.
How Do I Renew My Memberhship When it Expires?
The Nsider will never automatically renew your membership or charge your credit card without your authorization. All members will receive reminder e-mails prior to their membership expiration. We do not accept requests for automatic renewal.
Should you have a renewal question please contact the Nsider via e-mail at nsider@nsync.com
Wow! This actually looks decent. The next time I have $30 to spend, I think I'm gonna sign up for this. Even if only one or two of the things they're promising comes to fruition, it'll be $30 well spent.
This is what the friggin fan club wishes they were!
