Can we please move to a system wherein if you get 10c tickets, you can also have the option to pre-order one each of the poster, button, sticker, and show specific shirt?  Maybe even do it as a package deal where you just have the option to buy one each of all of it.  I realize this would involve buying all of these things sight unseen, but a lot of other bands do this and, to be honest, the merch thing has become super stressful for a lot of us with the frenzy caused by the secondary market.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

@Santos L. Halper would have to have a team hired along side him for this. Honestly, it's the best approach fan-wise, but their current staffing (to my knowledge) wouldn't allow it.

I don't understand how the infrastructure for this would be different from any other poster drop.  I do understand that there may be shipping delays, but I feel like the additional merch revenue this would bring in would more than offset the cost of any additional labor.  You know that if they do this people are going to sign up for it and then still wait in line and buy the max to trade, give to friends, have doubles or, if we are being honest, flip.

because any other poster drop is just the ones that they have left. not the thousands he'd have to ship all in one shot. and that's just one show. they did poster presales in the past, and there must be a logistical reason they don't do it anymore. my guess is manpower.

I would totally move to Seattle and work at the 10 club. Sign me up!

“All of GA is 10C. GA is not open to the public sales in the US. And there are no separators in the pits in the US either. Just one big pit”

This isn’t true, or at least it hasn’t been for the St. Paul concert I saw in 2014 or for the Seattle 2 show or Missoula. There is a 10C GA and a regular GA. If you are 10C (says so in your ticket) you get a certain coloured wristband which allows you access to the front section of the pit. I can understand that fans who aren’t in 10C and don’t understand how it all works or even know about it could get really frustrated by all the special treatment 10C members get....but then again I am in 10C so it benefits me so I guess I shouldn’t complain..... ;-)

I was only talking about this tour, so can't speak to St. Paul in 2014, but for the most part, it works the same in the US for just about all shows - a 10C only pit (in a few cases there could be a public standing floor behind it, but for the most part, it's seats on the rest of the floor). I did forget about the whole floor being GA in Missoula (with the 10C pit up front this year, but I don't think GA was open to the public at the Seattle shows, was it?? The seats on the field were, but not the GA pit.... ? I've seen photos of the pit from Seattle and there was just one big pit, and that's how it's been at all the other ballpark shows (besides Fenway I think, which doesn't allow a pit at all?).

Will these be the last 4 Pearl Jam shows of 2018? If so how about ... Broadcasting one of those shows either Wrigley or Fenway dates on SiriusXM? Or yet stream it on Nugs. 

Please?

How about immortalizing the band as "Pop" figures.  Would be so cool to have the band staring at me on my desk everyday.

Please adopt the Bruce Springsteen GA line method (lottery for spot in line). End the madness. Thanks.

I read a little bit of that GA bullying thread from Wrigley, so if the Springsteen method can possibly improve this GA predicament I'm all for it - safety first, always.

I’ve met amazing people from all over the world  in the GA line. I have never experienced bullying in line; people have always been very friendly, accommodating, and considerate. Wrigley 2 was my only bad GA experience. But even then, my friends and I got back to our spots (sort of) and found almost everyone we were standing with before the storm. Being surrounded by people who, like me,  immediately recognized and freaked out with joy over Evil Little Goat was priceless. Like them or not, the people who put in the time to get on/near the rail create a special atmosphere during the show. I’m not sure a GA lottery can replicate that- especially for people who travel solo to shows.

I do think there should be a more organized method of evacuating and reassembling the GA. For example, for shows in outdoor venues 10C could give the first 200-250 people in line (rail + first 2 or 3 rows) different colored GA wristbands as they enter the venue. This would not be difficult: GA entry during the shows in Europe this summer was in single file lines let in 50 people at a time, and the GA line initially entered Wrigley 2 in single file. Security would just switch to a new color wristband after the 4th or 5th group of 50. That way, if there is a storm the people who put the most time in line can be evacuated to a separate area, and then allowed back into the GA pit to reassemble into their prior spots before the rest of the GA. If the rail is already full, the second wave of GA folks probably won’t run. This isn’t perfect; I would hate to be #251. But it seems safer than the current stampede method.

I have probably posted this before, but please..... have a presale on the posters for 10Club members.  The lines in chicago were insane and now they are on ebay for $300+.  one poster per 10clubber when they are awarded tickets.

It was frustrating that items were sold out only 4 hours after the merch tent opened in Seattle. When people are buying multiples of every size of every shirt, it’s obvious that they are planning to resell them. Please limit this.

I was also frustrated at the lack of communication regarding bag sizes in Seattle. It felt like a money grab to have to check a bag for $10 when everything I read before that Elli g to Seattle said our bags were done. 10c could have added this info to any of the emails sent in the three days prior to the show.

lastexitlondon

All of the above  must  change there is no point having this thread if nobody listens and nobody from 10c replies

It's just sad and frustrating if you do not even get a single Prague sticker!

...I've already given up looking for the Prague poster …. 

kce8

You could buy them for 50 € at eBay... outrageous!

kce8

Or the poster for 500 €....
