Early Merchandise Booth Question

disilluzion

I haven't been to a Pearl Jam show since 2006, and have a question about the new early merchandise booths they are advertising.

In the past, we would wait in line until the doors open, rush over to the merchandise stands, and scoop up posters and shirts. With this new 1:00 time they are talking about, does that mean no more merchandise booths in the venues? That I'll have to wait in the 1:00 line for a poster?

Not a big deal for some of you, but for others like me that need to travel, it kind of is. I'm not going to whine if I don't get a poster, but I just need to know if I will be able to do so at 6:30 or not.

Thank you.

Last year's NA tour, the time was for 12:30pm. But few times the big beautiful red truck of PJ merch (drools) would be open earlier. For Spokane I was the first one waiting in line. I can't remember now what time I was there but I'm guessing before 10:30am?

And there was merchandise inside the venues last fall including some posters...

Yep, but to get access to that sweet PJ candy that is sold inside the venue, you'll have to wait until 6:30pm when the doors open.

Did the posters generally sell out at the merch booths early? Or would there still be some around a couple hours into it?

Thanks!

It's all depends on how good the poster is.

Is that all that matters ?

I'm just going on past experience from last tour. Of the 5 shows I went to the only one that sold out before the band took the stage was Pittsburgh.

They still had Seattle posters left at the merch booths when we left the venue after the show...
BUT it was a really BAD POSTER!!
AND many of the posters from last year's tour are STILL available for purchase in the 10 Club shop...
Can't believe that Klausen / Worcester poster hasn't sold out yet
So that's ALWAYS an option for you too!!

Everyone have a fun/ safe next couple weeks!
