I've really been enjoying mine, it would be great to get another! I do love Spin's new digital version of the magazine, though. It's really awesome, everything is linked so it's really easy to check out the bands they're talking about, which I love. So if we don't get a new subscription at least I'll be able to read it online.
I've subscribed for a few years and while I'm a sucker for most music magazines, I think it was only like $8.95, or something ridiculous like that, for the last annual subscription I paid. I just remember it got to a point where I felt like they were paying me to subscribe.
On a side note, I also got in on Rolling Stone's "lifetime subscription" thing, that was incredibly short lived, like seven years (?) ago and I think I paid $45.00. While I'm certainly not in love with the publication, it was MORE than worth it.

Someone please explain. I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I know what spin magazine is. I just dont know what you guys are talking about.
They gave us a free subscription to Spin for buying tickets last year. At least I'm pretty sure it was free. Some kind of promotional thing between the Spin people and the Bonnaroo promoters.

Well i guess we have to wait until june to find out if we're getting another free one.
My guess is we will, Spin is still listed as a bonnaroo sponsor and there's no better way to increase your 18-25 "music lover" demographic than to give away free subscriptions at a music fest. Remember they're not really trying to sell copies of a magazine but rather they are trying to create a large specific readership to sell to advertisers.

That strategy worked for me with Rolling Stone Magazine. they gave me a free subscription a few years ago (not Roo related) and I decided to re-up after the free period.
I know they also had a sign up/registration booth thingy at Roo too...cause they had one in the press area too where they were giving out free swag for signing up (T shirts/coasters/ huggies/CDs/ etc) I never bothered to sign up cause I didn't want /have to take the time to BS with them and sign up....it looked like an ordeal.... I don't do Ordeals - LMAO...not for Spin...think Relix or Paste had the same deal going too....I know they had a similar booth set up in Centeroo.....
I did the free VooDoo subscript cause they just sent me an email with a code for a free year-long subscrip. So yea....I sent that back and got a free year....can't honestly say I have EVEN cracked the cover of one yet so far - But they are stacking up for my first good beach weekend - LOL! And I also got the Name-Your-Own-Price Paste subscript back over the holidays...have managed to get through a couple of those....
I don't recall having to do anything to get my free Spin subscription. Funny thing is that the free subscription supposedly ran out three months ago and yet I am still receiving free copies.
i got sick of spin after they put fall out boy on the cover for the 5th or 6th time. there is better music journalism out there. most of it free, on the internets.

I agree. I got a free subscription with my Coachella ticket last year and it's a rag. Every month they talk about some new band that's going to save rock music. Three months later, that band is nowhere to be seen. It's not reporting on what's good, it's simply reporting on what's trendy.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my free Spin subscription. Does anyone remember if after the year is up you have to call them to cancel or does it end automatically? I know with other free subscriptions I've gotten over the years the magazine keeps coming and the charging of the credit card begins without notice.
