If not, can we bring them in so our swag doesn't get mangled?

    Didn't have them in Boston, but I saw some people had brought them in.

    I just rolled mine up, put an elastic on it (which they provided), and held it throughout the show. Since the majority of the performance is sit down, and people aren't crashing around, its easy to take care of it.

    I would also recommend bringing some rubber bands as they ran out pretty quickly in Boston. I bought mine before Glen took the stage, and they had none left. Sucked.

    In Hartford, they either had like 20 tubes total or I saw some people that brought their own. I was there really early at the merch table and all they had by the time I got there was elastics (better than nothing).

    I've asked this in several threads several times and no one is answering.

    I just read in the EV Uke merch thread that there were some posters left after the Beacon night 1 show was over. certainly not indicitive of a usual poster sale, but still, you should be alright as long as you get to the venue on time I'm thinking. you heading to the Minnie show next weekend? my wife and I are spending our 7th anniversary weekend with Ed!!

    I read that they sold a very minimal amount, and that people were seen bringing their own in. you might want to contact the venue to see what the rules state. I just might bring one of my own to the Orpheum next weekend. If they say no, I'll just chuck it.

    No poster tubes at NYC but no one batted an eyelash when I brought one it. Seemed to have been plenty of posters left. There were Beacon 1 posters being sold during Beacon 2 and even on the way out of Beacon tonight still looked like they were selling.
