Anyone have any idea if they are going to do this again? I was a big fan in '09 when I could buy my Toronto poster before the show. Saves having to get in there asap and worrying about keeping it safe all show.

    I would be estatic if they did this. I don't know why they wouldn't do it for every tour. It should be done before every show that way everyone who wants one gets one. I'm sick of seeing the vendors allowing people to buy 4 when they are only allowed one. It would eliminate a ton of congestion at the merch tables as well.

    I don't like the everyone who wants one part. Just 10C members with a ticket to the show should get the pre-sale, the rest being a free-for-all at the shows.

    That's what I meant. Only members who secured tickets have the opportunity(1 per member). If there are leftovers, people can order them at a later date.

    It doesn't even have to be a pre-sale, just give us the opportunity to get one later. It saves us from wasting an hour of our time standing in line only to see the last poster be bought in front of you buy a guy who was allowed to buy 4 for some reason.

    Doing this in 2009 was awesome. I hate carrying around a poster for a regular show, but keeping up with one for an entire day (especially if it rains) would be a major pain in the ass.

    Hopefully they'll at least get a huge stack of them to sell in the 10C area (I forget what it's called). Maybe the lines won't be as insane there.

    They should print a poster for every ticket they sell-
    I'm sure most people are going to want a poster... and also a t-shirt.

    That would be awesome if the people at the booths actually sold 1 per person. I've yet to see it ant any of the last 3 shows I've been to. I saw people selling MSG2 posters on the streets outside the arena before the gates opened, so how does that work?

    Surely they'll give us this option.

    Who really wants to carry a poster around Alpine Valley for 9 or 10 hours each day?

    I know how it works, and it was complete bs. The concession at MSG is set up outside the doors to get in. It's horrible. '08 night 1 was a complete clusterf___ because of this. :evil:

    Same here! I really loved what they did for the '09 tour. I hope they bring that back this time around this September for Canada! :)

    See above.

    Please please pretty please, 10c??? Sure, there's some sentimental value to actually picking it up at the show... but I don't know if I want a full day's worth of beer, mud, rain, sweat, creases, tears, folds, footprints, etc adds to that sentimentality enough.
