Been hearing rumblings about needing a wristband to get a poster. Can anybody shed some light on this? How does one go about getting a wristband? Thanks!

    You go up and purchase the poster and they give you a wristband instead of the poster and you return after the show to claim your poster. Seems to be working really good.

    So does the new system make it easier to get a poster?
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    these stands are outside the entry gates ?

    so does every stand get a few hundred bracelets?

    im purely asking for thew sake of camden- i already know this is the only show ( well along with the beacon ) that I dont already have a poster for.

    any help is much appreciated,

    no it doesnt, its just more convenient so that you dont have to carry it while you are at the concert... but stilll have to make sure fight your way in for a poster though, WPB and Tampa was a breeze for me but then again for WPB I was there for opening of the doors and TPA had the stand outside and I was there at 5pm as soon as they opened it.

    WPB went okay, it was a little messy at the end of the night with everyone jamming in line to get their poster. It was a site to see with people crammed at the merch booth and people walking out through the crowd holding posters over their heads trying not to bend them. I waited and got mine when the line(so called line) diminished.

    All in all I would still say that this is the best attempt for posters. I was glad to see that people couldn't get 20 at clip and finally the fans that waited in line could actually get one.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    That pretty much sums it up. The only extra thing they could do was maybe a set up a proper queue system with separating ropes, but it was fine really.

    I do like the wristband concept, but 10Club needs to go one step further and put them in tubes.. That way they are easier to pass out, eliminates the threat of damaging it after you make your way out of the swarm of people at the merch table at the end of the show..

    Just my 2 cents..

    Prevents us from having to carry posters around during the show and also helps prevent Ninersfan from buying 20 of them at each show.


    well it juts makes iut a little more difficult for him to buy 20.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    My bestfriend is a big DMB fan....she's also a veteran member of 10c (so no bashing please :) ) She recently attended the Concert for Compassion w Dave & the Dali. She purchased a poster and she received a mylar tube of some sort to put her poster in. She said it was great & wished she could've had one for when last saw PJ @ the Gorge for the posters she purchased there. She also has on her "Wishlist" a Seattle proper show. :)

    Bout time there was some evolution to this process. Smooth as silk in Columbia except for people trying to buy other merch while picking up thier posters. Saves the hastle of carrying one around or trying to smuggle in a tube.
