T's--Limited Produced=Limited Purchase?

edited October 2009 in The Porch
I was so happy when 10C did the poster pre-sale. Now I didn't need to get there when the doors opened to get a poster.
Now the COOL new T's for each show. Love them.
But now I am reading they are limited. And that people (non-fans?) are buying them in bulk just to sell them on ebay for profit. Sounds like a version of scalping T's :)
Anyway, I know 10C hates scalpers and they used to limited posters to 1 or 2 per person. Can they limit the number of T's sold per customer? Or maybe make more per show?

Or a stretch....Open a merch booth just for 10C members picking up their tickets. Pick up your ticket. Show your tickets to booth and buy the merch before the show and take it to your car before the show starts. I know that is prob too much work, but it was an idea. I know that State College 03 had a booth open before the show and I got my poster in the car by like 3pm. It was great.

Thanks 10C ;)

    Who says its non fans buyin up all the shirts. Fans would probably be the only ones that know that the shirts are valuable.

    if people are willing to pay huge amounts of cash than is it really the scalpers fault for cashing in on these. don't blame the scalpers blame the morons who are overpaying for these. also your idea would be unfair to non 10c members who are fans of this band.

    look at the starting bid and look at how high it's gotten

    And that's why there is a ? We always say how PJ fans are great, etc. I almost always have had a chance to buy two posters at shows (wife always there), and sell one on ebay. But I am kind enough to let the next guy get one. I guess I am the dumb one for not letting greed get in the way of making people happy.

    did i say that anywhere in my post ummmmmmm NO. don't assume things or put words into peoples mouth, k thanks.

    posters are massed produced so everyone in the world has chance to get them. so it's really no biggie if 10c members get first dibs. these tshirts for some reason are limited and I'd like for some one from pj to chime in on this as to why they are limited.

    i would really love to get my hands on the seattle tshirts but I'm not gonna be a fool and overbid on them. i"ll get em through other avenues.

    And didn't the pre-sale sell out of the 10/31 show?
    I can't speak for the shows so far this year, but I know every show I have been too over the past 10 years the posters have sold out before PJ took the stage.

    Simply put, they were shady night 2 in LA

    I never have complained about anything really, but this just really was shady!!!!!

    I was third in line for the outside merch booth, and got assed out!!! People were even giving this guy in front their money has he signed his cc reciept, to get more shirts. This was after his transaction was done!!! I was next, but when that happened they got them, then they were sold out of the XXL and XL...

    I Also had heard a few of them say, oh yeah i got a lot in my car if you want to come out after the show and get one. We can work something out!!! WTF

    Thanks guys!!!! All i wanted was one thats it....

    Rant over.... it is, what it is

    yes the posters have sold out before the show started but everyone going to the venue has a chance to get them at the venue or through the artists website. i saw a shitload of posters just laying flat on a table at tower A merch booth at msg 2 last year. even got mine for free :lol: . of course 10/31 is gonna sell out seeing as how its the "last show" at the spectrum.

    Some sort of nonsense like this was happening at the final NIN shows a few weeks ago, particularly in California (is this a California thing? didn't see or hear of it happening in NYC when I was there), and some people snapped the main offender's photo, they figured out who it was and found his account on ebay, and the end result was his tickets for some other NIN shows were canceled. (He'd been seen buying shirts and then leaving these coveted shows after getting his merch, before NIN even took the stage). At the shows after this happened people were limited to one or two shirts each. I think that's a good idea, esp. with limited edition items.

    I was behind a guy who bought about 5 XL and 4 L's and scrambled off head down as everyone behind got a sinking feeling like.."fuck I'm not gonna get a shirt"

    I got a L but need a XL..anyone need a smaller size and interested in a trade?? (this is for the Lakers 10-1 shirt)

    whilst I do have problems with 'flippers' bulk buying, when we got to the outside booth yesterday (before doors opened), they only had S left.
    We needed 5 M an L and 2 XL, all for fans that were at the show, but some still having dinner, other still at work.
    One of us sacrificed himself and got in as doors opened (and so couldn't come back out to finish his beer) and got 5 M, all for fans that attended the show (L and XL were gone already inside by the time he got to the front of the queue :().

    so not all people buying multiples are scalpers, they might just help out friends.

    If they didn't do them so limited (Like they've now done for Posters thankfully!) then there wouldn't be a problem.
    plus it's not like they can't offload whatever is left on 10c, there's bound to be fans of a particular team that weren't at the shows.

    on that note, I have a Lakers M that whilst nice looking I'd be very happy to trade for a Cubs one ;)
