EvClub
The EvClub was opened on September 22, 2006, just before the international release of The Open Door. It is the first official fan club ever started by the band. The club features exclusive photos and contests as well as personal blogs and an email account (username@evfanclub.com). Other perks include ticket pre-sales and Meet & Greet opportunities.
There is also a successful message board inside the club that features posts by the band (so far Amy and John are the only band members to actually post).

This is what the fan club t-shirt looks like. The thorns and 'e' logo are distressed black on a soft, light grey, standard fit shirt. The Evanescence Logo wraps around the bottom left side of the shirt. | |
This is the photo of Amy that was included in the package and is printed on heavy gauge paper with a semi-glossy finish. The image is from a photo shoot with Amy Cooper. The first 250 members to join the fan club got their photos signed by Amy. | |
The fan club letter. Note that the source photo of the band did not actually include Tim, as he was not with the band when it was taken. He was added later, digitally.
