All new memberships will not give free tkt's anymore.

However currently active memberships will continue to do so, until they expire. So if you like this extra better not let your membership expire!

lucky me whom bought a new membership like four days ago..!

So whats up if you want to buy a really old scene which is set with free tks, you need to expend premium tkt for it?

Interesting. I have 1400 free tickets and just starting to see material I'd want to spend them on hit the 2 year marker. Not likely to let my membership lapse though, so no issue.

Why the change are you getting ready to do something that makes the free tickets system worth something ? If so, you should at least give longtime members a chance to get back into the subscription system with free tickets. There was no warning that the change was coming just this announcement. XXX, shouldn't you give us a couple of days to decide if we want to roll the die and see if this new change will benefit us ? The reason I don't subscribe is that the max subscription does not just give you all the tickets you purchase it gives it to you 40 tickets a month for 3 months instead of just giving you the 120 tickets. As I said in another thread the free tickets are useless to me as buy mostly everything I want with very few exceptions and to use the free tickets I have to wait for the scene to have been released for 2 years.

Yeah I prefer paying for the 120 tkts too, instead of waiting for the 3 month plan.

To be clear if you have free tickets at the moment they will not expire even after your membership is over. But you won't be able to get more of them.

So even with automatic membership renewal, no mre free tickets for everybody in 3 months ?

I thought that part was clear but what about some of the questions asked above which I rephrased below:

1. Are you planning on changing something to make the free tickets worth something to longtime members ?
2. Is this policy effective immediately or are you giving us a couple of days to decide to switch back to monthly subscription since this change was just announced ?

You will still have them (1 per day) as long as your membership is renewed.

What can we possibly give to people who already bought everything?

This change should be effective soon. It may already be, or will be in the coming days I believe.

So what do members now get if no more free tickets? Will scenes older than 2 years be free for download like the old Sineplex scenes?

While the free daily ticket offer was still showing as included in membership, this got me off the fence to re-activate my membership (I'd been planning on it soon anyways as I was getting low on tickets).

Crap, I just cancelled my recurring membership! Is there a way I can re-activate it so I can still get the free tickets if I let my membership renew?

So what do members get instead of free tickets? Only benefit I see now is the slight ticket discount.

I liked the old system of the free tickets a lot .

I was already thinking according to the 2-year rhythm that the free scenes were following . I knew more or less which page it was and so on .
The fact that a membership also gave free tickets was a reason to subscribe more frequently so that I could unlock a bunch of old scenes ....

They are getting greedy ! Just pushing people to piracy

when I purchased my new membership about a week ago I believed I would be receiving the free tickets, this is upsetting news.

You still have them.

I am a member, so this does not affect me. But I still don’t think it’s right that people subscribing after a certain date only get 40 tickets a month whereas others get 40 tickets plus 30 free tickets. Compared with the cost of one-year subscriptions on other sites I don’t think I get that much porn for my money with 40+30 tickets per month. If I only got 40 tickets per month, I probably wouldn’t be a member (many ”real” LP scenes cost 5 tickets or more, so that’s only 8 scenes or less per month). Obviously, you must believe that you will make more money on people buying extra tickets than you lose from cancelled subscriptions. Maybe you are right. I have zero knowledge about the economics of porn companies, so I won’t embarrass myself by commenting on that.

When I was not a member I could still see what scenes could be exchanged for free tickets. Is it the same now? One would think that new members would be pissed if they saw what others can get for ”free”, but not they. In any case they will be able to read about free tickets in the forum, and be pissed anyway…

It would be nice if we could receive a motivation for this change. Maybe you are planning to reduce the price of older scenes without making use of the free ticket system? Surely you can’t charge the same price for a scene forever?

I quite don't get it. I though you were assuming how to give users more content for their membership. It went 180 degrees the opposite.
Or you can tell us xxx what's the real deal here .

I think about one idea for new users - the more scenes a user have bought from particular studio the newer scenes will get for free TKTs (ex-premium scenes) from the same studio. Or if you stopped emitting new free TKTs, let's make them with great discount.
In common live discounts are usually based on sold volume.

Exactly, I had a membership, and I discarded it, because strange things started to happen. Before there were free scenes for members, I do not remember what was the first age of the scene to be free, then they modified it to 2 years from the release date, then they were deleted, there are no more free scenes for members, I had a very serious with LP, they got into my pornbox and eliminated the scene where kathy white and alice nice, they make a scene 2 on 4, without my consent, indicating that they had to do it, for being incest, (sorry but that was the offer to buy it , mother and daughter together), delete my membership with the purpose of a protest, (besides that Giogio, it was taking all the shooting, of the new scenes, and I was being despotenciado my favorite studio Gonzo, and now I'm learning about that there are no more scenes with free tickets for permanence, the only thing that I need is that the pornbox of the inactive members be eliminated, that would be the last straw, EFFECTIVELY WANT ONE PLAGIE YOUR SCENES, there are many websites from where you get ner even premieres. I hope for the good of LP, to respect all its members (active and inactive) and resume the path that took them to the top

I seriously don't understand why people think LP would make a move that makes them less money. It is a business, and money talks. Any changes they do is to make the biz more profitable for them, not cheaper for you.
lulz I can see XXX losing sleep because he is trying to think of a way to make less money. Vote with your $$$. You like, you buy. You don't like, you don't buy.

There is probably a million reasons in the ever evolving porn business model, why my suggestion would not work, but I do agree that LP has an overly complicated ticket structure by dividing paid/free tickets. I guess it made sense when there were a ton of old Giorgio and Sineplex scenes unpublished. Those cupboards are bare now so,why not remove the free ticket system as a seperate ’count’ and introduce a nicely organised ’vault’ of classics. For example, after 2 years, a scene would drop to 1 or 2 normal tickets, instead of 5+ once it had covered its costs. These of course would only be purchasable with an active subscription.

Oh no, I've literally just rejoined!

Apparently active memberships are also no longer getting free tickets. I spent 5 free tickets today out of 5.5 free tickets. Now my pornbox no longer lists any free tickets. And all the free scenes in my pornbox are saying "Exchange for X Premium Tickets" WTF!?

Horrible initiative, I will not subscribe to LP again.

Same to me!
Bad news, really!
So after Nov 1st I get no free tickets anymore even though I renew membership automatically every 3 months, yes?

And where I could use my free tickets? Bcs when I click on them and videos which should be free respectively for free tickets are for pay ticket.

We'll check for bugs.

Infortunately I have not worked out yet how it will work ...
For the moment I still have some tickets that are being saved for the 4on1 of Lexi Foxy ( if the trailer shows the stuff i like ) , an unreleased Shrima scene , if Charlotte Cross will get more than 2 guys etc ... So I have not yet reloaded anything .

I see that am getting more exquisite and cautious about spending my tickets because I am also waiting for other members to relate their experiences with the new system ....

Where did you get the Nov 1st date as a complete end to free tickets?

XXX says earlier in the thread:

XXX: "All new memberships will not give free tkt's anymore.

AND:

PASTAGA: "So even with automatic membership renewal, no mre free tickets for everybody in 3 months ?"

XXX: "You will still have them (1 per day) as long as your membership is renewed."


As I read/understand this, as long as you have a continuous membership that never lapses you will continue to get free tickets.

I jumped and re-activated my membership on the day XXX announced this change and am getting a free ticket per day. I'm glad I managed to get in before the change as there are a lot of scenes from 2016+ that I've been waiting to get to the two year point to buy. I'm hoping to develop a deeper taste for popular models that have a large catalogue of scenes such as Belle Claire, Crystal Greenvelle, Katrin Tequila, etc... .

Thanks, AnEy!
So than no change for me. I renew my membership automatically for many years already and I dont plan to change anything here. I actually can use all those prime tickets I get and also need to re-charge 120tkt quite often. I have some 200+ free tickets left, but after Summer 2016 I already bought most scenes I was interested in than. Most free tickets I used for scenes released 2014/15 and actresses I didn't dig and who didn't DAP in 2016/17, but thanks to free tickets I could/still can check them out for free now. Thats a huge plus still. And I hope that doesnt change!

What if there's no such content on LP to like or dislike? You can answer to go to other sites on the web, but we both know there's really no other websites like LP. Thanks God we have this forum to express our ideas. I think it's like LP's labor union.

I agree there, but when LP declared war on wet content, I was left with little choice. I mean the forum lit up with complaints, but NO! WET is dead! As hard as it was, I decided to support exclusively wet content. I sat on my tickets for a long long time. Mind you, LP already had my money, so they might not care, but it may make a difference to the studios, on what content I apply them on. After like what seemed a eternity, wet content started to trickle back (still no official word on wet content from XXX btw,). So, I still support wet content only, out of fear it will disappear if I spend my tickets on other things. I am also a member of EA, Rocco, 21Sextury and a few others. Fortunately, I really don't care much for DAP or TAP, so if another dry season hits, for the most part, my anal porn needs are taken care of. Does voting with your $$$ works? Maybe, but if you don't stick to it, it won't for sure.

I have around 185 free tix left, and once in a blue moon someone tags a wet scene I do not have and want. I honestly do not think I will ever spend the free tix I have left, so I see no point in renewing the membership to get more of them. Unless LP has a wet only subscription channel, I will stick to the premium ticket purchases. No point on blowing $30 a month on a studio with one wet scene.

Btw, wet seems to be dwindling down again, no?
Done really care for wet, but thats my impression.
Same for gonzo DAP, btw. But thats another story.


Have about 250 are tkts I saw today and I shall probably spend them rather faster than not since I am just not sure how long they really apply. I join the party as long as it still lasts.

GIO has dwindled down, but he hates shooting wet, so it is what it is. He is too tip fuck heavy for me anyway, I always skip the DAP TAP action anyway. Fortunately, IV is doing more wet, and I hope Gonzo picks it up some. American Anal wet is just pathetic, so no dice there. The rest seem to be MIA.

And the SZ774 is fucking AWESOME! I sincerely hope there is at least one or two more wet scenes with Kid Jamaica and Kerry Miller. Been watching the scene non stop lol.

I don't see how the premium Tickets can expire. It is not a coupon. I sat on my tickets for a very long time.

edit: I meant 250 free tkts.

Cool edit works again!

I won't watch I don't like. Even if it is free. I am the same way with food. I rather be hungry than eat bad food. Best to wait and eat something good later.
