Ten Club Suggestion

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

Yea but I don't get that thinking... if someone who doesn't go to a show wants a poster, and you can only get them at shows, then even if there are plenty for the people at the show there are still gonna be people wanting them who can't get them. That demand will lead to people buying them to turn a quick buck, which leads to shortages in supply, etc etc. It's economics 101. There is only a problem because demand > supply.

no I mean like when presales happen you can buy '2 tickets' or '2 tickets /poster'
then when you go pick them up at the box office there will be a wristband in there for you (and before you ask, one per 10c member)

so they should just print more? how do you distribute them when there are more ticket holders than posters?

Id rather the 10c spend its time securing more 10C tix at each venue.

but not all 10c people that go to a show want a poster.

Here is what you do:

say there are 1,000 for each show (allot 600 for show 400 for 10c sale after)

1. during presales offer 1 poster for each pair of 10c seats
2. sell whatever is left from the show allotment at the show
3. sell the rest through 10c


I'm just discussing the theory- but it won't happen. I think the wristbands were made so you didn't have to carry it around all show and so people would stop trying to bring tubes into the gates. I never have a problem getting a poster I desire. If I fail at a show, I get one through 10c, and if I can't get one that way, I get one through 10c and trade it for one that I want... it's actually quite easy

I was saying this the other night to some fans in the poster line.

It's an awesome idea and would take out the middleman (the concession stand)

What they should do is after the ticket and poster orders are taken they go and make that many

PLUS an additional amount to sell at shows for people who might want them there.

Posters should be sold like these bootlegs, made to order.

the wrist bands are to prevent multiple purchases. the after show pick up is to prevent damage and carrying of tubes

Same here, with the exception of the borgata (bought a signed copy auctioned off for charity-and paid a bit more) I have obtained all the ones I wanted at reasonable prices.
Thats why I dont see a reason to change the current system. The wrist band idea is great. The vendors at msg are corrupt-no surprise there. But I was able to get a camden 1 no problem at 8:30-and I think its the best one yet and the only klausen so far.

I appreciate what they have done with the wristbands, but Id rather ahve them focus on securing a greater percentage of concert tickets for us members.

well see there is a paradox with 10c and the whole poster thing: on one hand they only want to make them limited so they are valuable and hold their value, but you are told you can not resell them... so I guess if the 2nd theory is gold then your idea to print as many as are demanded should be put into place

I do not agree that they should increase the print runs.
I like having a limited item. Strange perhaps, but true nonetheless.

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.

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..

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.

Thats my opinion on it.

There are still people who buy tickets off of ticketmaster who would like posters too, not just 10club fans.
