Where is the merch booth at the Gibson Amphitheatre? Is there more than one? After missing out on the Toronto shirts, I need any edge I can get at LA 3 and 4
There is one past the 10C/will-call booths but before you get to the turnstiles. You don't even need a ticket to get there. Shirts have been selling out there before the gates even open.
There is another past the turnstiles. It is to your left as you walk toward the doors of the theater. Shirts have sold out here incredibly fast as well, but it's a better shot than waiting at the outside booth.
FYI, PJ posters sold at shows are far from "mass produced". They're all hand silk screened, usually in quantities in the hundreds (generally est. 300-500) so they're very limited for a show that packs in thousands of fans. If there truly are piles of posters unsold then I have to believe that the shirt frenzy might be distracting the flippers away from the posters this year. It's easier to shove a tee shirt into a bag and eventually flip it in "mint" condition that it is to carry around posters to flip and ship. The scalpers / flippers also have the double fan base mania, fans of the band as well as fans of the teams = big flipper money. It totally sucks and I don't hold out much hope of getting a shirt for the San Diego show. But maybe, just maybe, 10Club will put some online after the tour. Fingers crossed, some cool shirts (and posters) so far.
Peace,

there was WAY more posters available this year.
actually, there was a lot of the Klausen last year too, but not the Ames.
This year all posters have much larger prints.
way more than 500 trust me, and the Ts are not the reason there's still posters at the end of the show.
proof: they don't even limit the number you can buy this year.

I'm not sure how you think you know this about the posters, but the information I have received is that the posters are just as limited as they have been during the past two tours. In Seattle, night 1, the Ames poster sold out.

I'm lookin for an XL or XXL Utah tour shirt. I have hundreds of PJ posters for trade bait. Or can trade ya a philly tour shirt cuz I'm doin all 4 of them shows.
Anyone has a pic of the ACL shirt? I heard it was going to be Longhorns.
Also, I'm curious about the Toronto shirt.
don't have a pic. but it was UT themed. I bought it and traded it back in for the stickman austin shirt. the orange was much brighter than UT's and just too eye burning for me.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
Tonight in LA the shirts were limited to 2 per person (though I think it was "2 per person per merch stand". Not sure on that). First guy tried to buy by my count, close to 8? Got shot down immediately. Much more civilized merch thing and not the feeding frenzy it looked like it was going to be.
There was a sign saying it was due to Fan Club request.
So - thanks 10C. Well done. Amazed at how fast it turned around.
Even at two per person, it is extremly difficult to get one of those shirts, last night all 3 or only 3 booths had only smalls, the venue is quite small one would think they would make plenty for all fans, I went to two show and got nothing, there is no way I am going to pay some person on ebay for the shirt. I hope PJ adds them to the goods section.
The sign of "two per" was per booth, specificaly. This sign actualy "made" purchasers of the shirts that othersise would have not purchased the shirts.
Anyway, a huge step in making these more accesible would be to NOT sell them at merch booth #1. I was in line around 538pm and went to the first merch booth. MOST people in front of me were not going to the show. I shit you not, I had a family of four in front of me. The kids were maybe 8 and 10. "So dad, two XL of the Dodgers right"
Another girl next to me on cell phone "I had to drive all the way up here to get "x" these shirts, and now I am going to have to drive up tomorrow too." She was one of many not even with tickets but buying merch technicaly outside the venue.
