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?
I think thats a bad idea because....So many people got shut out of the MSG that were hardcore fans. So because they couldn't get tix they can't get a poster? No way......people who did get shut out of fan club seats atleast had a chance to get posters. I think that MSG did a good job with the whole poster thing. I was one of the first in 2003 and I still didn't get one.
Just my opinion don't kill me
Still dont see how hard it is to have the option to get 2 tickets with a poster or without. Then when u pick up ur tickets they hand u a poster that seems so simple to me. Then there is no fighting and waiting for hours to get one to just get shut out. Plus give u some more drinking time then up all night and leaving the bar early to get ur poster.
The Garden did the best they could with the poster sales... If you noticed, the hallways are on the narrow side in the building itself and there's no way to get that many people in an orderly line inside in such a way where the walkways inside would not be totally blocked... Also there's many concourse levels, do you sell them on all levels...? What if a higher level is sold out but there's posters remaining downstairs or visa versa... People would be running all over and then the ushers aren't going to let you in the gate if you're not sitting on that level...
It was fine to sell them outside as that was the only area that would hold the line, and everyone who was entering the build had to go past there anyway... everyone had equal access... everyone who got there early enough... I'm sure we're all familiar with "the early bird gets the worm..."
As far as non-ticket holders getting posters, I was next to a guy buying a poster who didn't have a ticket YET... He was looking to buy one... Should he have been excluded? I don't think so...
Loved the pick up after the show idea...

How can anybody argue against this suggestion? Make it a checkbox when ordering your tickets. Poster Y/N?. Add shipping and handling. I don't care. Priceless if you get a poster and don't have to hold that damn thing all night. Get it in the mail a few days after the show, in perfect condition. Perfect! Should do that with the shirts too.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
this idea has been suggested many times before...the problem is that too many people would buy them, not enough posters. Hence the craze, too little supply for a huge demand. Flippers or not that is what makes them valuable. You print 8,000 a show then nobody will buy them....then you are stuck with a pile of dead trees..
I managed to get one at MSG I. I felt really bad for the folks that wanted them and didn't get them, if they really tried to get them. It was a good system and I think it worked. I was offered some good money for mine outside the garden as soon as I picked it up after the show. NOPE, not gonna sell it.

I was thinking about this after getting shut out at DC while waiting for the guy I gave my spare to show up. Only problem is what if you are not in the Ten club and want a poster?
Like you I think having an option when you buy the tickets or a few days after you get a option to have it mailed ala normal TC sales on the website and not have any of the hassle. It really sucks when you want a memento from a show and flipper aholes run station to station or hire people outside to go in line for them (mSG).
we can only hope they keep trying, each tour they seem to get a little more savy and try their best to get the fans stuff instead of bastages
the quantity being low is what makes them so valuable as well though so many artists don't want 10000 of their product floating around making supply too high.
No be all end all answer on this one, but having people at the show having some sort of priority would be nice.....we can only wish
I was waiting at the train station in Jersey and a guy had the poster, my friend and I had brought rubber bands in case we got one and offered it to him in case he didn't have one. then he asks do you want to buy it? I asked how much? He replies oh forget it I am going to sell it on ebay......insert your own adjective for this guy
In addition to the limited screened posters, what if they also printed up a run of each poster on an offset press and sold them for less money? Maybe make them smaller, like 11x17? That way the people who just want a poster from their show can still get one and the hardcore collectors will still have their limited, higher quality collectible.

Virginia Beach was a Klausen and it is the best of the 2008 tour
that one gave me nightmares hahaha!
I spend many nights unable to sleep thinking about those giant fish with horns eating away at me

finally, FUCK TICKETMASTER
Thats my opinion on it.
There are still people who buy tickets off of ticketmaster who would like posters too, not just 10club fans.
