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).
