Just found out I'm going to MSG2! I would love to get poster that night to be able to frame for my office

what would i have to do? how early should i arrive? how limited are they at the shows?

    real early, real tough, real few....unless they do what they did last tour and they had a lot and sold them before and after the tour. who knows though, they switch things up every tour. Just go early, bring a poster tube to protect it. If you dont get a poster offer to trade someone for it or go to eBay. Thats the best advice I can give ya without knowning how they are handeling posters this year. Maybe you should email the 10C and ask them what they are doing for posters this tour.

    you'll know the way posters will be sold after the first concert because there will be a thread on it. if you're not going to MSG1 or if all you care about is the second one (they'll probably be the same posters anyway just with a slight color variation) then you could see how other people did it at that venue since there will no doubt be about 50,000 threads about how they got posters. ask them, study the threads, you'll figure it out. and if you don't get one that day there will be an online sale.

    you can get them if you want them now. They print them like US dollars.

    Thanks for that answer. That is a question I have had for awhile myself.
    Because I just bought the poster for the show I attended last August and always figured if you didn't buy it at the show you could always order it later, but sounds like it is not always the case.

    Last time they sold them outside the entrance to MSG, and when you eventually get one before the show, you can walk behind MSG into the post office (which is bigger than MSG) and just mail the tube to yourself. :)
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    i just remember msg 2 08 being a total cluster f, you had to line up outside the arena and get a ticket to get a wristband for the chance to buy the poster. i personally wont go through that kind of trouble to get a poster again, hopefully they just sell them afterwards like they did with the past 2 tours
    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me
