What happens if I can't become a member?
We understand that not everyone will be able to get a Wanted World membership. Fear not, we will still be delivering everything you currently get for free, including weekly Wanted Wednesday mailers and flips, competitions and lots more going on online. You should also look out for regular competitions as the band will giveaway memberships to Wanted World, from time to time.
How do you justify the price of Wanted World?
Wanted World includes access to exclusive high quality content & events, all of which have a cost associated with producing them. Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to create Wanted World and giveaway everything without a charge. Do remember, Wanted Wednesdays and other content and goodies will continue to be available online at no cost.
Can I pay monthly?
Unfortunately it isn't possible to pay monthly for membership at this time. The membership requires annual payment upfront. There is a 14 day call off period in which you can cancel your subscription if you change your mind.
Will I get to meet the band if I sign up?
Platinum membership will include an invite to “An Audience with The Wanted”, which will be a number of intimate events held in the UK, including video played out on the big screen and a live band Q&A session. The band will be present at all these events. There will also be opportunities to win Platinum member competitions where some fans will get to meet the band, however this is not guaranteed and shouldn't be expected.
