Yeah, saw this today via the bonus site. Some of the standard interview lines, but nice guitar playing all the same.

I bought my digipack from Amazon and presale tickets from MK.com.  Where do I get all the codes from ? I couldn't access ! >:(

Thanks,

Sweetsurrender, I thought US residents were excluded, but maybe I'm wrong!   ???

Now I am confused!   :o............I just read this news and went to the site.

I read:
In order to become a member of the Mark Knopfler Bonus Site, you must purchase Get Lucky on CD (outside of the US) or through MarkKnopfler.com. Your membership includes access to exclusive merchandise, contests and tour diaries. Validate your purchase below.

Does this mean that I only can become a member of his Bonus Site when I buy again a Get Lucky CD??  OR  ......I have to use an Unique code??

I already bout 2 GL CD's/DVD's, so don't need another one and where can I find the Unique code?? ::)

Fieneke,  You have bought your CD outside of the US so now you should just put your CD into your CD/DVD drive and follow the instructions to validate!   :)  The website will check that it is a genuine disc.

THank you for your answer Val, but ............I feel so stupid, because it doesn't work

I just put the CD in my CD/DVD player at the computer, but it starts to play and I don't get instructions!  ::)

I pushed the link to Mark's site again and I need to give a code, but where can I find that code??

I never have been watching the things "written" at a CD as good as I did now! I found many numbers at the front and back side of the CD and cover, but they all are not right!  >:( I even found out at the back side of the CD, that it was made in Germany by EDC!  ;D

As you see I still need help!  ;)

@ Fieneke: you have to stop playing the CD in the computer, just leave it inside. On the website you have to follow the instructions, at some point, the site will check your CD if it is an original one. That's all. :)

I did it 10 times wrong, but then in the end I saw I pushed the wrong button! The one of the code number instead of the CD!  ;D

I thought by the button telling "Vallid CD" that I was forced to buy another one, BUT .........when I pushed I got this message:

The applications digital signature has been verified. Do you want to run the application?
Name : jsap

Http: www.pushentertainment.com

After pushing run, I got a message that I am now a member of the bonus site! :D  Pheeeewww now I have to answer the 3 questions for the dardario strings, which I can use!  ;D

THANK you Val and localhero for your help! :-*

Hey Val, since I got my CD/DVD very kindly from Fieneke, does that mean I can join also, even if I'm a lowly slob of an American?

I guess I am not qualified to be a member of the bonus site.  I bought my digipack in the US.  Don't we all think this is kind of stupid to put limitation on fans in the US ?

Hi Jacki,  I'm sure it does, because she bought it outside of the US!    Hope you are improving more each day Jacki - lovely to have you posting again!   :D

Thanks Val, I surely missed all of you! It's good to be back, even if I have a lot of catching up to do...all your positive vibes certainly helped to bring me back! I will try to get in on the bonus site as soon as I get my own computer back (hopefully by at least next week). Cheers!

"Stop, stop Ingrid don't hit me, I really told Jacki that the CD/DVD was sent on behalf of you too!!!"  :o

ROFL people don't take this serious, I am joking about hitting!  ;D Ingrid is a sweetheart and does always a lot to help me when I mail or call her for help!  :-*

When I suggested Ingrid to sent the Get Lucky CD/DVD to Jacki, because she wouldn

Yep, it doesn't ask who changed money with whom.  So go for it.

I won't hit you Fieneke, you know it. And I can imagine Jacki cannot remember all of the details of all cards, CD's etc sent to her. I hope you got a lot CD's Jacki, you can listen to it while exercising  ;)

I don't know about how to join the bonus site, I thought it was only available to people who ordered a copy from them, which I did (the 3rd piece I ordered, so a lot of gifts I collected now). After ordering it I got an e-mail with password and so on. So I don't know how it works with CD's ordered somewhere else.

Hi Ingrid
 :)
When you log in to the site it gets you to put your CD into the drive on your computer to check it is a valid copy. They may have a secret code on them or something? It would be an interesting exercise to try it with a copy of the CD to see if it still works. Of course it would be illegal but interesting all the same.....  ;)  ;)

"Quote: " Would be interesting but till now no interesting things to win."

 :o Ooohh you might be right about that Ingrid! Imagine when I win the luxe box or strings, then I might not be on the list anymore for a meet and greet??!!  :o 

*I don't want to win the box or strings, ......I don't want to win the box or strings ........I don't want to ....etc*  ..."Do you think this might help to stay at the list for the meet and greet?"  ;D ;D

Don't worry Fieneke, I am sure every contest is a new one, but before I take the time to find out if I can cheat  ;D by entering with more than one CD (I have 4 now) I wait until something nice is there to win. I don't have a guitar, so no stings needed, I already have the deluxe box so if this one is not signed why should I win another one  ???

to give it to one of your friends who couldn't afford one at the time because, I don't know, say the car broke down and they had to pay the price of 6 boxes to get it fixed ? Just an example  ;D

Good idea Rollergirl, if I win the box I will do a lottery or something like that here :D
I entered the contest one time with the password I got when I ordered the CD from mk.com.
We will see, who knows I will win now  :P
