Oh come on The Wanted, nobody likes a money-grabber…
It’s OK we can say that, because their own loyal fans have labelled them rip-off merchants.
Must be serious.
The band is facing a backlash for demanding £100 a year to join their new fan club.
For the amount, they are being offered exclusive content such as webchats, behind-the-scenes video and first listens to new tracks.
Amy Lawson, 17, from south London, tweeted: “Wantedworld is a money-grabbing scheme and a total rip-off, and I think it’s taking advantage of fans.”
Others tweeted that their British rivals One Direction and JLS give their fan club members special features free.
Megan Hogg, 17, wrote: “The only people that’ll get wantedworld will be fans young enough to beg their parents or fans old enough who have had a job for a while. It’s making most fans who can’t afford it feel like s***.”
A spokesperson said: “Of course we understand that not all fans will want to or can afford the subscription offering, which is why the existing offering will continue to exist.”
