Hi All,
People have asked about signing up for our VIP / Locals page via Paypal.
I've decided to make this happen, but know up front that it is a MANUAL process. This means that when you sign up, it can take up to 24-48 hours for your account to be enabled. I will do them as fast as I can, but I will NOT guarantee you that if you sign up on a Saturday that you will have access during the live broadcast of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW.
The cost of the subscription is $6 per month on Paypal (vs. $5 if you sign up via Locals), which is to offset the additional cost in fees and the time I have to take to manually enable/disable your account going forward.
HOW IT WORKS.
1. Sign up for your free account on Locals and follow our page @classicmetalshow (https://classicmetalshow.locals.com).
2. Go to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4SK722UXQKT9W and sign up for a Paypal subscription. PLEASE USE THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS for both your Paypal subscription and your Locals membership.
3. Message @classicmetalshow here on Locals and let me know that you subscribed, your Paypal confirmation number, the screen name you created for Locals and the email address you used for Paypal and Locals.
4. Once received. I will enable your account and email you the confirmation that your account is set up.
5. Log out of Locals and back in.
Your account will now be enabled. From there you will have access to all the VIP posts/content and the VIP Chat each week for THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW.
