i got my poster and my buddy got his wasn't so hard, but there was only about 200 available...the sign said you could only buy one per person, but people were buying 4-5-8 at a time...it was total bull shit!!!

anyway, there was this fat chick...i mean fat...she had literally about 10 posters, a real fucking asshole. very obvious what she was going to do with them...my buddy bet me that i wouldn't go spill beer on her and her posters. said he would give me his poster if i did...i denied at first, but as i stared at her and heard people bitching that they got to the venue 5 minutes too late to get a poster, i eventually wound up doing it. asked her if i could put my beer down for a second, bent over to tie my shoe and knocked it right over on the table right into her huge roll of posters...she was furious!!!

being the "good guy" that i am, i offered to buy her a new one...only one...awwwww, too bad, they are sold out...here's another BIG FUCK YOU to the fat broad buying 10 posters...FUCK OFF!

Now I have two...so if anyone is going to Camden Tonight (Night 2) and wants to try to get an extra poster...i will trade you for night one...

REMEMBER: ONE POSTER PER PERSON!

STANDS UP AND APPLAUDS!!!!! 2 posters I can see, I almost bought a second in Albany for a good friend of mine who couldn't hit any shows, so I can see where that is coming from. Any more than that is nuts. It was a zoo getting posters in Albany.

I usually don't support negative threads, but the early beer cut off pisses me off. And there is ED drinking his wine the whole show.

dont know why the early cutoff but it MAY have had something to do with the 10-15 person battle royale that broke out in the lawn during the first three songs. couple shirtless drunkfucks throwing each other around, pulling other people in, girls trying to pull people off - it was a fucking mess. i think they were right to cut off beer if people are gonna act like that 10 min into the show....

i know she was selling them on ebay b/c when the people behind her bitched, she said they could buy them on ebay if they are sold out when you get up front.

do you realize you single handedly increased the value of the 5.27 posters by like ... uh ... 4.76% or something?

i did the math, i swear it.



i'll stick up here and say Kudoz to that shit ...
assuming she WAS selling them ... fuck da bitch ...
goddamned greendiseased motherfuckaz.

It's not like a lot of you at one point or another haven't broken the "rules" at a show one way or another.

Well, let me be the first on here to say FUCK YOU. Since when is vigilante justice ok when it comes to $250 worth of merchandise? I don't give a FUCK what that woman was going to do with her posters. That is NOT OK. You say it was obvious what she was going to do. Your assumptions make your actions ok? You don't think, even for a second, that maybe she was holding posters for friends? I had 4 on me when I got inside. You know why? Because I was rolling them all up together, with plastic and rubberbands, to protect them for my friends! If someone had come up to me and done that, I can guarantee you I would've punched you. Hard.
So congrats on your bravado. I sure hope you saved a few posters from being sold on ebay.

It's fine and good for you, because you and three of your fiends all got your poster. For me who missed getting one I support this kind of justice, too many people don't respect others, and obviously this lady had no respect for fellow PJ fans, or for the bands wishes.

Kudos my beer spilling friend!!

maybe you are the one who i spilled on? if so...HA FUCKING HA! if not, let's hope you get screwed out of a poster or something you really want someday by a selfish person like "Mrs. Ten Posters."

no, sorry. i'm quite attractive, or so i've been told.

i didn't even buy ONE, because i hate having to worry about it during the show. so i don't give a shit how many someone buys, to be honest. thanks for your kind wishes, tho. you just keep coming up with new ways to be rude!

and it's not okay for either you or her to be an asshole. but if you're calling her one, it makes more sense if you don't act like one as well. kinda simple, really.

the people at the stands were absolutely NOT firm about selling one poster per person...people were buying 2-3 in my line easy...

i will reiterate:

"then i guess your beef is really with the guys who sold her ten posters. maybe you should have spilled your beer on them, & seen how that woulda turned out for ya."

did you complain to the vendors? probably not. it's much easier to take out your hostility on the fat chick than on the guys who could probably kick your ass, and then have you thrown out.

i didnt see the fat lady,
but did experience 1 guy at the stand selling at least 5 to 1 buyer, then another guy showed up ( i guess he was relief ) and then he started telling people 1 poster. He wouldnt even let someone who was with their significant other, or friend , buy for them . 1 only . 1 only . After a while , ( maybe too late and already after the fat lady incident ) they were only allowing 1 .

this poster does kick ass !


good luck tonight !

If you kept moving from your seat maybe that is why he kept asking for your ticket.

which by the way I don't understand why move around during the show--did u not go to see the band? the band is playing don't leave your seat.

The is it philly/nj thing I don't understand
first time there and I knew what state I was in.

the crowd sucked.

What is up with the Camden Police making sure we all get a tour of the number 1 murder spot in the USA both before and after the show? Camden is always grid locked but by now the cops should have it down.

What was up with the ending of beer sales shortly after the show started?

10 Club Member since 91. Thanks to my 107XXX number I have always had good seats. Thanks 10 Club. Just wondering why I ended up in 104 front row blocked by poles and speakers, worst seats I had at any show, let alone one where club members get preferred seating. Then having the SAME security guard ask about every other song for my tickets. After about the 7th time asked him why? Answer he is doing his job. Went to the Lawn and had a much better view. Went back to catch the last Encore, should have stayed on the Lawn.

Ed + DNA WTF? The fellas they brought up on with them sure play a mean tambourine.

Camden is not Philly. It is funny how everyone who plays the Tweeter goes through the "is this Philly or Camden" bit. Spectrum is the best venue for a show. Great vibe. You can’t get a bad show there. I think if last nights crowd was indoors rather than a outdoor shed it would have been a whole different vibe.

OK there were much better points. Decent set list. Did not expect Leash again and Animal both welcomed surprises. Over all a good show.

Back to lurk mode,

This thread sucks.

#1 DRINK BEFORE THE SHOWS, give me a break.
#2 You had shitty seats because a lot of 10c members went to this show, and unlike Wachovia and others, there are no sides so it just filters back... I had a sweet side seat in Wachovia but couldn't see jack shit last night. You know what?! I still had fun, fuck those who didn't!
#3 If you're not having a good time at a PEARL JAM concert, you are seeing too many and need a wake up call. Go see Fall Out Boy, come back, and you will be saved my friend.
#4 If you're still not having fun in row 10, because its not front row, you also need a wake up call. Next show, find me, and we'll trade tickets, and you can sit in binocular land and I'll rock out just the same but with better seats :cool:

Oh and a comment on the merch people, we all know they don't give a shit about the poster rule and I can't blame them. Theres a mob of us crazies, all demanding shit, and they just want their shift to be over.

When I finally got to the front, I was trying to claim the non-mint poster that no one wanted, and I pulled it a little towards me and the merch guy shot me a DIRTY look. Then when he finally served me, he said "$25", and I told him I wanted a shirt, got me that, told me my total, and I said I wanted a hoodie... GOD he was like "WTF" and got me a hoodie... haha, he was a dick, but I went to a different stand and the guys were much nicer

I'm a long time fan of Pearl Jam but new to this board. Reading some of this makes me realize why I never joined a message board before. Obviously people are going to be a-holes no matter what so lets just remember that essentially what brought on the last three pages of bickering is posters. Sheets of paper with screen print on it. Not to mention I saw people physically escorted out for doing a lot less than drenching someone in alcohol.

i didn't drench her...just the table that happened to have her rolled posters on it...accidently...

What does fat have to do with being bitchy or greedy? do people describe you as a righteous, short fused follower with a small dick?

There were a lot of people with extra posters, and it pisses me off. I got one, but I always get in as early as possible to make sure I get one. I think the biggest problem is the folks working the merchandise booths. They're local to the venue, and maybe they aren't prepared for the onslaught of rabid fans. They may not understand why the poster limit exists. Cleveland did a great job of enforcing the limit. Boston didn't adhere to it at all. Obviously they didn't do such a great job of enforcing it in Camden, either.

I think they should separate the posters from the other merchandise. Set up stands for posters alone. How pissed does it make you to stand in line behind someone who wants to hold each and every shirt up against themselves to see if its their color or not? Then they want to know what's in the program. Do the socks come in pairs? Are the stickers sticky? Where's the hoodie that my friend bought last week? GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY.

The band has separate booths for the blue wave and avocado posters (which I buy at each venue for securing my Ames poster, so if someone spilled a beer on my shit, because it looked like I had more than one ... they'd be way off and I'd be fucking irate). Why can't the band have those folks sell the official posters also?

And, to the dude who did spill the beer on the woman with 10 posters ... you probably only ruined the outside one, douchebag, so don't crown yourself the King of Camden so easily. The unkindness you show others will return to you one day. I hope it's in the form of a bus grille. Prick.
