Two Wrigley's and two Fenway's!!! Lets see assuming 4 posters per show that's 16 posters, plus 2 stickers per that's eight stickers, shirts at least 2 per that's another 8, carry the four multiply by pi.... that's a lot of MERCH!#!@#$ It's going to be pandemonium.. Not to mention all the regular shows

I wonder if posters will be like munk ones Eddie solo show in Chicago. Pretty much the same image with slight variants for each night.

    Not for me! The smartest decision I have made was to stop buying merch. Know I enjoy my show day, go do some sight seeing, get something to eat, drink, etc. and get there when I want to instead of standing in line all day possibly in sweltering heat only to find that when I get to the front of the line the guy in front of me bought 6 posters and they are all gone.

    I queued for 2 hours in Amsterdam in a pre show merch line as they said the show posters would be there, got to the front and no show posters just some other crap that some guy had printed that no one wanted to buy.

    This.

    I wasn't at Detroit, but I won't wait for merch, if I can get it at the show great, otherwise, I want to enjoy the experience.

    I can try and get the poster or whatever at a later date.

    Let's just hope this tour the 10club will take pre orders for those who have a 10club ticket to the show. Have combos available for us. Buy a poster, sticker & pin combo. You can also pick a show's shirt too.

    Do it already!!! :p

    I think I woke up from the merch bubble. No interest. What a relief :smiley:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Is it against 10c policy to have people buy stuff for you? Like what if I really wanted an MSG poster and wasn't going - could someone on here get one for me and then ship it to me?

    You think they police every transaction before they take your money?

    People can do whatever the fuck they wanna do in those merch lines. Within any "limits" set... sometimes posters are limited to two per person etc.

    Past shows we've seen / heard folks scoring more then 10+ prints, 40+ stickers etc.. per customer while they take them back to their hotels & vehicles, not tripped over unfortunately damaging their goods. 10club staff are not around to control their Pearl Jam merchandise at the booths. If they had a set rule .. one poster, one sticker, one pin per customer they would make everyone happy attending the show. And would cut the resellers. But .. lol .. that's NEVER gonna happen.

    I would LOVE if they were able to pre package their goods at the merchandise stands this year. What I mean is posters are already in tubes. Hell if they need someone for packaging I'm your man for the job. But yeah, would be great to come up to that red hot sexy truck of PJ merchandise and ask for an already packaged poster in tube instead of pulling on to the side to roll up a print in the cold or when it's raining, or when there's no tube and all they have is elastic bands, or no elastic bands at all.

    ^ So I'll be sure to have some rubber bands in my pockets if I'm planning on grabbing a poster lol. I'm more interested in getting the bootlegs. I'll only wait for a poster if I really like it

    I have no idea why they haven't at least tried this?!? Of course they'd still sell it at the show, but you wouldn't need a merch tent open at noon. You could limit it to one bundle for every city the member has won. Designate a specific merch booth in the venue and you pick them up anytime during the show.

    I understand this only helps fans that won the lottery, but any other way and you have flippers again.

    I second that. Pay now. Cut in front of line for pick up.

    As much as I'd love to get some merch from the MSG shows. It was enough to convince my wife we needed a Pearl Jam New York trip. I can't really make her stand in line half the day on top of the shows.

    10c knows who won tickets too which show so why not send show specific emails out to members offering them the chance to buy merch online a few days after the show.

    But that would take away the mayhem of the merch lines at the venues.... Those long merch lines look good on tv.

    By the way I am one of the people who wait in long lines for merch.

    It'd be nice if they just took a chill pill on the posters for Fenway and Wrigley. Say, 1 poster per show...maybe 2 tops.

    If I were a fan club member that lost out on tickets, I would be frustrated but understand it is just a lottery. Now if the fan club adds an additional benefit of access to posters and merch too for those with fan club tickets, then I'm pissed off. It wasn't too big a deal at PJ20, but personally I was a little pissed that the people with fan club tickets got these nice little gift bags. I was a big fan too, had gone to 50 shows at that time, probably spent $15k on merch over the years, etc... and I felt a little disrespected. Obviously not a big deal and got over it, but still lets not make merch a lottery too.

    That's a great point and I would have to be on your side of that one. So how about if you at least entered for that show in the lottery then you qualify for a 10c merch bundle? That way you CAN'T be denied at least the merch. Yes the line would be a little longer than winners only, but still better than the free for all line.

    Oh c'mon we're not getting gift bags. Fine, let's limit it to a poster and sticker. You'd still pay for it. I'm trying to work with the information 10 club has. It's not like they're going to ask/confirm every member that bought a ticket to a specific show through TM/Stubhub/CL, so then we'd back to flippers, in this case, now joining the club to get GA tickets and a poster to every show.
