those passes expired years ago. i believe they were the passes that elites were given as part of the yearly elite package.

they were easily duplicated and I can only assume that was the reasoning for their gradual expiration.

CO did all they could do to announce, advertise and display that these passes (pics and all) would expire.

unless you're a new gold elite, and have not had status for any of the last 3 or 4 years, you would have clearly seen the notices posted at every entrance of every PC.

it sucks, but they had to do something to eliminte the fraud.
