I think it's a bad idea but one of personal choice. I don't think it should be required and I don't think donators should get any special priveledges. This site doesn't do anything to donate for. Also some mebers of this fan club are either too young to donate, don't have the Credit card means to donate and some just can't afford it and they are no less important to the club than those who can donate. Now if you want to give all donators complimentary tickets to local concerts in their area( say within 300 miles of their home) or free shirts and memiobilia for their donations that's kool and sounds like a good idea. But I don't think donating to be a member is kool or to be placed on a petistool because you're capable of donating is a good idea. Makes the others feel less important and I don't think MIKA would like to hear that anyone is being treated as less in his name.
