    I was number 40 in line at the merch table. I was able to get the Shuss poster and the emek poster. I cant believe the posters sold out that fast. So ridiculous. They didnt have stickers or the trading cards...this was setup and run so poorly... I really wanted the ames poster.

    the ames posters are the ones that sell for the most $ and are the most hoarded, it seems I can never get them what they make only 100 or 200 of them
    I do agree on one thing... the general public should not have the ability to stand in line and buy stuff for a concert that they most likely will not be attending.


    When is this 10C hosted Merch event happening? Is that only for travel package winners?

    Must present ticket or 10 C confirmation at time of purchase. Ticket is scanned and can't be scanned again until Wrigley entry.

    I think we can all agree the poster pre-sale thing from a few years ago worked great. Why don't they still do that?

    I'd guess shipping.

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but from their perspective I'm thinking that shipping 8,000 posters to one location is vastly easier than shipping 8,000 posters to 8,000 locations.

    Yeah, but they mark up shipping so much anyways. Even more $$$ for them.

    Anyone remember when people went to PJ shows for the music....experience?

    I was worried yesterday that I wasn't going to get anything since I won't be in town until about 2pm tomorrow. Then I started thinking it's just not worth it losing sleep over if I'll get a poster I probably have no room to hang or get a shirt I might wear once.

    What matters is what's going on tomorrow night. Pearl Jam is playing Wrigley Field!!

    This reminds me of the first Ed solo tour. The zippos. The posters. The hoodies....

    All available online via 10C at a bargain price within 6 months.

    Get your asses out of line and go across the street and get the party started!!!

    It's a fucking rock show!

    If you've ever rolled, tubed and shipped a TON of posters, then had to deal with shipping and eventually a few shipping complaints ... you'd know that it is *zero* fun.

    They could charge $20 shipping per poster and it's not worth the headache.

    Is it me, or does it seem like the majority of fans left early for Chicago just so they could get the merch before it sold out.

    I agree. Go have a couple of f'ing beers, get happy and buy the merch you want the day of the show.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    have posters ready where you pick up the 10C tix, they cross you off on the list, see that you have also paid for a poster and give you one.

    So, it sounds like the pennants, posters and stickers are gone and the woman's hoodie. Anything else sold out?

    I am stuck in Ohio with my father as he is in the hospital. Glad I did not score tickets in January. Family is the most important thing, or was it breakfast? (AD reference)

    Anyhow,has anyone heard about the trading cards being sold out? I have a friend willing to drive an hour to pick up some for me, but would hate to have her waste the time. Thoughts?

    In London - to get your tickets - you got into 1 massive line - then when you got to the front - they asked which line you were in? I'm in this one - lol. Somehow one massive line was to know to divide itself alphabetically - through osmosis I guess - since no one told us. Joke. Don't blame 10c or PJ - it is the venue's ineptitude.

    It sure would be nice to hear from 10c assuring us they will sell this stuff online.

    Posters on eBay for $300. Laughable.

    Let the casual fans fight over the merch stands.

    have one of the perks being in the fanclub preorder stuff or buy it afterwards. For god sakes.

    The lines are ridiculous. I picked up my tickets and left Wrigleyville. I don't need merch that bad.
