    same here

    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.


    For sure , heard the venue are not allowing people to queue for GA either .... And there's 4 gates that all open at the same time

    So I got in line around 9:45am and I was about #30 in line. I was able to get one of each poster, but they were allowing people to buy 2 of each if they wanted. No trading cards, pennants or stickers at the merch tent today. I went to other booth and they had pennants but no trading cards or stickers. I do not know if I can do it again tomorrow to see if they do sell these items or if they all sold out yesterday. It was too damn HOT!!!! :twisted:

    Here is a video of the merch line so you can get an idea. The people running the line said it was up to a 3 hour wait. I have no idea how much merch will be left so get there early tomorrow if you want a chance at buying posters.

    Quick question.

    Does the non-member person you are bringing with to the show have to be present when picking up the tickets today?
    No
    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.

    THE PROBLEM:

    After the 98 tour many people discovered that you could "follow" this band, FOR FREE just by flipping posters/merch.

    Some of these people have grown up and have real jobs/lives. Some still are living in their parents basement and the opportunity to make $500 is the best thing that has happened to them this year.

    Couple that with people that just really love this stuff and WE (not the 10c, you see all the requests on here for crap), have created a MONSTER.

    Change the lyrics to NO MORE WAR to NO MORE MERCH!!!!!!!

    I had to leave around 12:15 to go to work, and by then the ticket windows were still not open

    exactly, it was the venue's management and security arrangement that was looking after that and they had obviously never been apart of that before to prepare staff ahead of time

    Wasn't there supposed to be a merch stand in the W hotel for people who purchased the travel package? Does anyone know if that's just for people who bought the travel package or can any 10C member have access to that stand?

    That sounds dangerous - people get all sorts of batshit crazy at shows about getting up front. Be safe out there.

    Bottom line is that ticket holders should be the only ones with access to the show merch. Just like every other concert. Every Tom, Dick and Harry flipper is there to buy as much as they can. Everyone knows this stuff goes for a premium in the secondary market.

    Regardless I'm just happy to be part of the Wrigley show.

    This is crazy, I haven't read this entire thread so sorry if this has been asked, but are there going to be stands inside Wrigley as well as the ones on the street?
