Ten Club Suggestion

I realize that not everyone is as insane about collecting posters as I am (been getting them since 96), but I DO know that many people would like to have posters from every show they go to.

Is it really that hard, that when you purchase your ticket, you can have the option of also purchasing a poster for that show? I think that would make ALOT of people happy.

What does everyone think?

    great idea
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    to be honest, I don't think 10c expected posters to be that big of a deal and stir up trouble the way it does. If you take flippers out of it so they can't buy them, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that everyone that wants one could get one either at the show or through 10c sale- but the problem is probably 45% of people that buy them buy them with the intentions of selling them. But really 10c sales are fairly easy- I don't see a single poster on this tour so far that you shouldn't be able to get easily through 10c (nothing is on the level of Kenyon Hall or Dusseldorf as far as the demand)

    can you imagine though telling the founding father of 10c back in 1990-91 that in they year 2008 people would be fighting eachother to pay $25-$70 for a poster...it's sorta crazy posters have gotten as big as they have

    They must know... that's probably why they did the wristbands this time around. I'm not griping, I'm just saying they're probably aware and are obviously trying to do something about it. The solution, as has been posted a million times before, is to make more available both at shows and online. That's the only way everyone will get one and put an end to all the scalping and craziness at shows...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    This is an excellent suggestion, hope 10c picks up on it. Good one ;)

    i think that's why they put the posters for sale on the 10c site for 10c members only.

    either that or have hired 10c staff handle JUST the posters as it seems most of the corruption comes from those staffing the merch tables.. sell them inside only. show your ticket to get a wrist band....etc.

    You would then have to give the option to all who buy thru 10C. Therefor, the artist would then have to produce 1000+ of every poster. If that was the case then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion as there would be plenty for all.

    i made this same suggestion back in 2000, and then again in 2006 after my 14 year old nephew was knocked over by some big drunk guy, and his poster stolen from him.

    it is a great idea, and some thought should be put into this. it would also take away lots of tension at the shows.
    Peace, Love.

    I am not a poster nut, but I would like a poster of the shows I went to now that I have a house and my own little jam room to hang stuff like this in. The only poster I have is from Hartford 06. I don't have posters from any other shows i went to.

    I might see them making wristbands available for purchase with your tickets..but you still get them at the show

    It wasn't much easier to buy ten club tickets to the MSG shows... I don't think they'll ever sell posters prior to the show.

    Leave it the way it is.

    The wrist band thing is great. And from what I hear, only MSG was a problem.
    And that was because it was locally mismanaged.

    Im trying to collect posters from each show I have been to, plus Dusseldorf eventually.
    So far I just have the 2 Camdens. But I would really like to continue to get these at each show.

    granted, I am not a poster fanatic, but for a reasonable price for a poster, I would be interested
