have you seen this update yet:
http://www.verotel.com/new_ipsp.html

some key points:
- the processing time of Verotel Pro applications is extended from 21 days to at least 90 days
- registration fee of each Verotel Pro account is USD 1,500 as a one-time fee and USD 260.00 as a yearly fee. The yearly fee will be deducted in 52 weekly payments of USD 5.00 per week.
- Starting October 15th, all Ticketsclub merchants are advised to link their members area button to www.ticketsclub.com instead of the local 'members' entrance on the merchants website. In this manner, Verotel can monitor all (login) traffic to the member areas. Please note that this is NOT mandatory
- Also starting October 15th, new SIGNUP NOW buttons will be available, in different styles, in the Verotel Control Center. By putting this new SIGNUP NOW button on your website, it will be very clear to your customers that you accept payments through Ticketsclub and Verotel.
- If you have a Verotel Ticketsclub account, starting November 15, 2004, Verotel will take over the registrar responsibility through one of our subsidiaries With this change, the registrant of the domain name will be Ticketsclub and not the Ticketsclub merchant
