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.
Finally gave up on the stickers... Trying to give up on the posters, and just let the show be the experience in and of itself... Embarrassed to admit how hard this decision is, ha.
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!!!
I'm surprised they haven't worked something out. A system where all 10C members have the chance to pick up atleast a poster and a shirt. Hopefully this is the year

I can't think of a bigger waste of time then sitting in line for hours for a poster/sticker/t-shirt/ect. But to each their own. I know others wouldn't spend several hours in a bar/tailgating like I do, so........

I wish. Just imagine the 10club ticket window opens early in the morning. Included with our ticket is an additional golden ticket where we can purchase 1 poster & sticker (2 total) after the show. Exclusive to 10club ticket holders. Back in 2008 they gave out wristbands for those who wanted to pick up their poster after the show. That's how I picked up my Hartford & Mansfield night 1 & 2 prints. Wasn't lucky on the MSG ones but scored the set with the Ames Bros sub.
I would love though that '09 option where those who did score a 10club ticket were able to pre order 2 posters online where 10club would ship to posters to you.

It won't happen because the band doesn't want it to happen. They want those that show up early and line up for merch to be rewarded for their effort. It's the reason only a certain amount of posters and stickers are sold. They know they could easily print double the amount and it will still sell but they prefer not to.

They should just do a pre-order for 10c people online. Or even do it made to order with a designated time window to buy it and it ships as soon as it is made.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
Just wondering, but why are posters and stickers such a hot commodity with people on this board? I'll admit the posters look cool, but how much of the artwork in your house can really be that of a rock band's tour posters? This is a real question, not a put down. I just have never seen the amount of "strategy" involved in all aspects of going to a concert as I have with the fans on this message board.
I collect posters for all the PJ shows I go to, but waiting half a day in line and getting shut out isn't appealing to me. I've only seen the merch truck in action twice. The first was Vancouver 2013 and it was reasonable. 20 to 30 minute wait and plenty of merch. The seattle show a few days later was insane. They brought the truck in early and the lineup was huge. There's no way I get in a lineup that big. I managed to get a poster on the inside with no problems. I've got GA for Wrigley so I don't really want to buy inside the venue because I'll have to stand with it for 5+ hours. Maybe it's worth collecting them after. Wait for the 10c to sell them or something (or maybe having the free day is worth paying $80 bucks each on ebay).
i'm done with merch there is light on the other side

Amsterdam in 2014 they did a pre-merch sale thing in the city the day before the first show. Tenclub said there would be the posters for the shows there so I went and queued up for 2+ hours and when I finally got in they were never selling the concert posters in the first place, just some limited crap that was so expensive not even loon PJ collectors were picking them up. I just wanted a poster for the show as was promised so I could spend more time at the bar at the gigs.
Definitely left a sour taste in my mouth and two hours lost in my favourite European city (bar London) that I wouldn't get back.
Point is, they could sell merch early in the day or a day before outside the venues so ppl couple pick them up or even do a pre-purchase line where you buy online then pick up there and then. So many options to save people time

Agreed
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.
During the '09 tour we had the opportunity to secure a poster from the show during the 10c tix pre-sale which was great because I didn't have to worry about rushing to the merch stand or carrying it around during the show. I really wish they would bring this option back.
Inside the Rock Poster Frame says that "we will be digging" the Fort Lauderdale poster...
If they've seen it, they should release a pic of it
A few people, including me, have asked, but no reply
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
