    Thank you sticker flipper. 
    That seller had a lot of bootleg stickers for sale.  I wasn’t sure if they were selling real Seattle stickers or fake ones.
    Yep, once I entered the merch tent it was very nice with about 10 or more individual lines, I ended up in a line where three people (they all knew each other, perhaps traveling together) from Brazil each bought over $1,500.  Each one of the three bought over $1,500, it looked like they bought the limit of each item available.  I asked the young lady who helped me how much each order was and she said $1,500.  One of the three had previously been in another line and completed a large order and joined the other two in my line, we didn't expect him to do another purchase.  The bummer for me as each order took about 40 minutes to assemble, add up, and check out.  Two other folks ahead of me and several behind me must have waited over two hours for those three people to finish.  I got in line at 10:50 and left the merch tent at 3:30.  I'm not even exaggerating.  Link to some video I took:









         she is not from brazil.but from mexico,she is a huge fan and collector and a very respectful fan in pj community
    Respectful flipper
    If you resell half of what you buy it makes it a lot more affordable to be a "collector" ..

    thats the problem,u dont know shit about the person,and u say shit about her,,she is not a flipper...everyone around here in this forum  knows i wouyld never take the side of a flipper...
    what happens  here is that someone bought alot of merch which happens to be huge collector plus her english arent very well,probably took more time that to communicate with employes travel far away for the shows ,now ,got bushed online from someone and say shit about her with out know her,

    For those complaining about the merch situation, it seems to me they are doing exactly the same thing they did to combat bootleggers and “import” cds back in the day. They decided to release their own and flooded the market, putting the bootleg sellers out of business. If supply meets the demand for merchandise, flippers will lose. Of course there will be one off items that sell out and increase in value, but for the people who truly just want a memento that shouldn’t bother them, should it? And for those hardcore collectors, they will still have their holy grails to search for. The best part is that the shows are for a good cause so the sales will help people who need it (at least the Seattle shows.)

    I'm going with 100% positive that's a no, with no exact knowledge of whether it's truth or not. No way they don't take cards though with the $3k transaction from ebay flippers and the $1500/$2300 transactions from *cough* "collectors."

    I can't answer your question, but you should probably pay cash or some babies in here might post a video of you saying that you're taking too long because you're using a card.

    So she keeps all that stuff? 
    As i said, huge collector, very well respected fan in pj community. 
    And For sure the pj flippers are not fans from mexico.  its an  inside job, no need tot built a wall. 
    I stand corrected, someone said they were from Brazil.  Doesn't matter where they are from, their behavior was disgusting.  Fan or not, it was absolutely obscene the amount of stuff she and the other individuals in her group purchased.  I saw them gather 4 huge orders.  Respected? Yeah, I'm sure they are keeping all that stuff for themselves.  "pj flippers are not fans from mexico" LOL, hahahaha!  Ok, whatever you say!

    My experience yesterday - Got there around 5:45 pm - not a single person in line outside. 1 person in front of me at the booth. From the time I parked my car until I was driving off again, maybe 20 minutes. Just grabbed a couple of shirts and koozies. It looked like they had plenty of everything - posters and all.


    That is too funny. Did the same in Boston in 2016. Outside of the Catch poster, got everything i wanted in less than 20 minutes .
    That's awesome, I always seem to learn the hard way! LOL!  Just glad to have yesterday behind and some live music to look forward to and enjoy!

    Cash or card, card readers seemed to be quite quick compared to the employees counting piles of cash a couple of times and verifying the 20s and 100s were legit.

    I never said I know these people better than you.  I'm sure they are great "respectful" folks.  It didn't seem like they were respectful of me and the other people in line behind them.  Especially when one in their party came and joined them and made another huge order in front of us.  She was writing down lists of items for the other guys to purchase.  Yeah, your right!!  Totally respectful folks!

    Merch jumped the shark a few years ago. I'm happy to get a poster and a shirt if I can.  I don't worry about what anyone else is doing. Life is too short for that.

    most of the bills the employee was verifying were 100s, demonstrating the amount of the order!  crazy stuff

  • Man when I was younger, the show was more important than merch. Nobody bought merch back then, because they you couldn't afford and it was more important to be as close as possible. Seems like the music comes after the merch now. I am not saying I do not buy merch, but I would not waste a beautiful day in Seattle, and I would not be in the line when the band is on stage just so I can buy something.
