I forgot my Password, how do I reset it?
You can reset your password by clicking on the Forgot My Password? link next to the login section anywhere in the site. The link to reset your password will be sent to the email address on file for your account. To help ensure the delivery of the email please add email addresses from @hanson.net to your approved list.
When creating a new password, your password must meet our new security guidelines. In most cases, this will mean your password will be 12 - 16 characters in length using both uppercase and lowercase letter and several numbers. Use only English characters - no accents of any kind. It may take several tries before you create an acceptable password.
I just purchased my membership but I am not able to access member exclusive areas of the site, what should I do?
You will need to log out of your account, clear you web browser cache and then go back to Hanson.net and log back in. If you are still having the issue please contact Customer Service.
I forgot my password and the email associated with my account has been closed. What can I do?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. Passwords are sent only to the email on file with an account for security reasons. It is your responsibility to keep your email up to date. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Service.
I can't remember my username and the email associated with my account has been closed. What can I do?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. We cannot give out a username for security reasons. It is your responsibility to keep your email up to date.
My membership still has a month left, but I want to go ahead and renew now. Can I do that?
Yes, you may renew at any time and extend your expiration date by 1 year(365 days).
Can I change my account username?
No. Account names cannot be changed or deleted.
Tour
Where are the tour dates?
Tour dates can be found under Calendar.
I heard HANSON is playing in my city for the tour, but it's not listed. Why not? Does that mean they aren't coming?
Many times other websites will post ticketing information & concert dates before they are confirmed. It will not be posted on Hanson.net until it is 100% confirmed.
A local venue announced HANSON is playing soon and put tickets on sale, but Hanson.net still hasn't announced it. Is it safe to go ahead and buy tickets?
We STRONGLY recommend that you never purchased tickets until a show is confirmed on Hanson.net.
What is a presale?
A presale is when a certain amount of tickets are released for Fan Club members. They can be purchased either through Hanson.net, or other ticket vendor's (i.e.: Ticketmaster) using an exclusive password. The presale is an apportunity for Fan Club members to purchase tickets before the general public, but there is no guarantee you will get a ticket as we cannot predict demand for a particular venue.
How do I get presale tickets?
You must be a Fan Club member to participate in presales. When presale starts, go to the Calendar section. All information needed regarding the presale will be posted at the time the sale begins. You should also check the Tour Talk forum where questions are answered concerning presales.
Why doesn't my city have a presale?
HANSON & Hanson.net will try to have a presale for every show possible. However, sometimes due to circumstances beyond their control, a presale isn't available.
Is there a limit to how many tickets I can buy?
There is a specified ticket limit per show, usually either 2 or 4 tickets per show, but varies according to vendor and venue.
Why are the fees on tickets so much?
We do not control any of the ticket vendors and they have the right to add whatever fees they deem reasonable. We realize this makes the overall price higher, but we have no control over those fees.
Why did I get row H in the presale when my friend got row B in the general sale?
Each venue chooses what seats they will release to the band for presale. While some venues give fan club members the best seats, other venues reserve the first few rows for radio or general sale. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. The presale simply gives you the opportunity to get in the door, not necessarily the best seat in the house.
I want to sell the tickets I got at presale because I can no longer attend a show. Is it ok to make a post on HNet to try to sell them?
You may ask other Fan Club members to buy your presale tickets only after the general sale begins and then only for the face value of the ticket. All threads to sell tickets should be placed in the Tour Talk forum.
Are we allowed to have cameras at a concert?
The only person allowed to have a pro camera is the "Hanson.net Reporter" or local photographers who have been granted special passes. We do allow personal cameras. This is subject to venue policy, so in some cases cameras may not be allowed.
Can I videotape the show?
ABSOLUTELY NOT - We do not allow videotaping of shows, except for Hanson.net or 3CG staff.
What is the Hanson.net Reporter?
The Hanson.net Reporter is a member of Hanson.net chosen to report every aspect of the show for Hanson.net. The reporter gets to interview HANSON (3 - 7 questions) before the show. The interview is recorded for Fan Club members to hear at a later date.
How are Reporters chosen?
Hanson.net will choose a random member (usually one who has never met HANSON) attending the concert to receive this honor. There are hundreds of qualified people on Hanson.net and they will have a hard time choosing who gets the job.
If I can't get reporter, I want a Meet & Greet, how do I get one?
Meet & Greets are chosen randomly, given to a fan that has never been able to meet the band. Go to the Calendar page, find a show you are attending and request a Meet & Greet. This will add your name to the list of those attending. The winners are chosen from this list.
I'm not very popular on the website, and don't post a lot, can I still get one?
Yes. The Meet & Greets are random and not based on popularity.
How will I know if I get one?
You will be notified by email 7 - 30 days before the show.
If I get a Meet & Greet email, is there anything I have to do other than show up?
Yes. If you receive a Meet & Greet email, you will be given very specific instructions that MUST be followed or your Meet & Greet will be forfeited.
How will I know if I get a Meet & Greet? and can I give another email to someone so I can get it sent to me at another addy?
Your Meet & Greet invitation will be sent to the email on file with your account. We suggest you clean out your mailbox and check it often during the tour. We are not responsible for lost or misdirected emails.
I got a Meet & Greet for one city and my friend got one for another city. We want to go together. So who do we contact to get that changed to the way we want it?
We are not able to make a change to the city a meet and greet is assigned to once it has been confirmed. You can't choose what city your Meet & Greet is for.
Can I trade my Meet & Greet with someone from a Meet & Greet in another city?
No.
Can I give my Meet & Greet to someone else that I think wants it more?
No. Meet & Greets are non-transferable.
If I don't get one before the show, can I get one AT the show?
You can get a Meet & Greet at the show on rare occasions. There will be time when there is an extra spot or two and someone will come out and choose a few more people. Take your membership card with you just in case.
How many Meet & Greets are given at each show?
On the average, 5 - 10 per show including the reporter. However, remember there are other promotions that have Meet & Greets winners and the band's schedule is tight during tour so that may impact the number given to Hanson.net members.
Note: Pleae do not email the band members, Hanson.net staff or 3CG Staff concerning Meet & Greets.
What do we have to present at the will call window to get our tickets? The credit card and an ID?
Each venue is different, but most will require a photo ID such as a driver's license and the credit card with which the tickets were purchased. Check with the venue if you aren’t sure what is required to pick up your tickets.
Do I need an ID to get into a show?
We recommend that all fans attending shows carry an ID. In some states, the law requires you to show an ID to enter certain types of venues. Others require ID if the show is in any way age restricted. It's also a matter of safety should anything happen to you while at a show, the staff will need a way to ID you. Quite simply - always carry an ID.
The venue I'm going to doesn't take state IDs for identification - only driver's licenses. I do not drive and therefore don't have a license, what do I do?
In this case, call the venue and ask to speak to a manager. Explain that you do not drive and ask what form of ID would be acceptable. Some venues require a driver's license or passport for identification while others will take alternate forms of ID. Each venue can set their own policies and we have no control over their policies.
Store
I want an item that was previously available in the store, but it isn't in the store now. What do I do?
If an item has been removed from the store, it will not usually be restocked or have additional stock available. You can email Customer Service to request the item be restocked and if that is an option the Customer Service team will work to restock the item. There is no guarantee that an item can be restocked.

I do not live in the United States. I live in another country. Why does it take so long for my order to get to me?
Customs policies vary from one country to the next as do postal systems. Once the item has left our shipping center, we cannot control how long it will take for you to receive your international order. In addition, we cannot control whether or not the customs service in your country assesses an additional fee.
Why is the cost of international shipments more when I add a membership kit to my order?
Membership kits are shipped separately from other items within your order. When a membership kit is added to an order the additional shipping cost for the membership kit being shipped separately will be added to your order.
I always worry a little when I shop online. Is there a privacy policy for the store?
At Hanson.net we are 100% committed to protecting your security and privacy.
We know that when you shop online, you want to know that your name, address, credit card details and any other information you give us is kept safe and secure, and we promise to do that.
Our complete commitment to customer service means we'll make sure you, and only you, can access your account or view your financial details.
And because we know how annoying junk mail is, we promise not to pass on your e-mail address, home address or any other details to any party.
If I think my order is lost, how long should I wait before asking Hanson.net to trace/replace my order?
For US orders, you will need to wait 30 days after your package is marked as shipped. For International orders, you will need to wait 60 days after your package is marked as shipped. Please remember to respond to any notifications received by your postal service/customs regarding your order. If they do not receive a response, your order may be returned to Hanson.net and you will be charged to reship the order.
Please note: If Hanson.net has evidence from the shipping provider that an order was delivered, Hanson.net is not responsible for claims that the package was not delivered. Additionally, if you contact us about a lost order, no action will be taken until the appropriate time period has passed.
How long does order processing take?
Order processing may take up to 10 business days. You will receive a shipment confirmation email at the email on your order when your order is shipped.
I looked this morning and you had the latest tour shirt. 3 hours later, the page disappeared. Why?
Sometimes, we have very limited quantities of certain items. Once they sell out, the item is removed from the store. If an item is marked "limited," it's best to order it as soon as you see it.
My kid spilled grape juice on my white tour shirt and even though I washed it, it won't come out completely. How do I get a replacement shirt?
Please refer to the store return policy. We cannot be responsible for accidents that happen with your merchandise. You will need to purchase a new shirt.
I didn't read the washing instructions and washed my shirt the wrong way. Now it shrank! How do I get a replacement?
Please refer to the store return policy. You will need to purchase a new shirt.
My confirmation number says the Post Office was notified of my order but doesn't indicate receipt. What do I do?
You don't need to do anything. If you have a tracking number, your package has been mailed. It is not unusual for the Postal Service to miss scanning some packages when shipping items out of their facility.
I haven't gotten a confirmation email or a reply from Customer Service. Why?
There could be many reasons, but the most common are the following:
- Not including an email on your form
- Misspelling your email on the form
- Not adding hanson.net to your white (approved) list
Note: If you use hotmail, yahoo, comcast, AOL or gmail, those services often reject or block hanson.net email even when added to your white (approved) list. Be sure to check your spam folders for replies. Mail from shipping@hanson.net will be the most common email you will receive regarding your order and we suggest you place it in your address book or on your approved list.
Why is shipping/handling added to my membership order?
The cost of the Hanson.net membership kit has stayed the same for 10 years while shipping/handling costs have increased 8 times in that period. Due to the additional costs and added features on the new Hanson.net, the shipping and handling is now separate.
What is a pre-order item?
A pre-order item is a product that will most likely be offered in limited quantities. To guarantee you will receive the item, you will need to pre-order by a given date as extra stock may not be available.
What is a limited edition item?
A limited edition item is a product that will be available in the Hanson.net store for a very limited period of time.
