Five different Wrigley Posters...
not counting the variants, A/P's, etc. and I, like so many others didn't get one. For starters, the fact that there were five different posters for one show of any band is very impressive. The fact that all of my friends and I that went to Chicago, plus many of you as well didn't get anything, is a little disconcerting. No I don't have 7,687 posts on here and I guess I am not on the 'Trusted PJ Trader's List'.., even though I have dealt with so many of you before, doesn't bother me at all. But I am NOT a flipper and can't believe how many 10C members sold their extra ticket to Wrigley for 10x the cost, but that you actually bought like 4 or 5 of every poster, hat, shirt, whatever and somehow feel justified to continue and list them at outrageous prices blows me away. Seattle and Spokane will be my 49th and 50th PJ shows that I have been lucky to have been to. A matter of fact I have several 1990's-2000's shirts, Maui, Missoula 98' among others that I have grew out of and will be selling/trading very soon. I am only writing this because my friend and I both were irritated about how the whole Wrigley merchandise went down and came up with a possible solution. We think if a 10C member won and bought tickets to a certain show, they should also be allowed to pre-purchase a poster, shirt or hat for that event. Kind of like how the hated TM reserves you a CD or shirt when you buy tickets through them if you desire. I am not comparing the 10C to them whatsoever and am grateful for everything they have done for all of us over the years, but it's an idea worth exploring. Especially since linking some of you to the same flippers on e-bay, isn't as tricky as you might think. Bummed and disgusted because so many of you are very fair to deal with. It's just takes a few, or in this case, quite a few greedy people to ruin it all. All I wanted was a CJ poster and a Cubs hat! Maybe a purchase limit for posters, etc. is in order.., kind of like beer. lol Respectfully, j.

It's all about finding a short line and (no offense) someone that has been to 48 PJ shows should know a little more than I do. I have never had an issue buying merch besides at PJ20. Boy was I called crazy for giving a guy double for the Klausen while waiting in line. Funny thing was the couple giving me crap were in front of me in line. I saw them later and merch had just sold out of posters 5 people in front of them. Sure beat waiting in line for 3 hours to not get a poster! Also very gratifying to see the look on their faces while I'm tailgating with my poster tube sticking out of my backpack.
Also, Chicago is notorious for scalpers/flippers. I saw somewhere they started selling merch on Wednesday! Why all the Wrigley posters specifically are fetching so much I will never understand. There had to be tons of Show Editions sold and don't see why they are still going for so much. If you want a poster from the show, do what I did, be patient. I've so far scored the EMEK for $42 and the Munk One for $50. I scored the Dabs Myla mural too but that will never be for sale. I have a pending deal for the Shuss for $100 (crazy cheap!) and I figure I will end up getting the Ames AP at some point. The Show Edition is going for close to what I have seen the AP selling for, that makes no sense to me either!
Can someone tell me though what the packs of cards were going for at the merch tents? I would like to know because those things are selling like they have signed EV inserts in them and at the end of the day they aren't very frameable and to me are mostly ugly. That might be the jealousy speaking there though...

I'll have to ask you to please be more respectful, the cards are AMAZING! better than all the posters combined! :P

yep.
Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
You do also realize that it was not a 10c exclusive show, and that merch was sold outside the stadium to the general public for about 50 plus hours before the show? I think it's safe to say all those people on EBay are not 10c members exclusively so I feel like your disappointment in the rest of the 10c may be a little misplaced.
One last thing, maybe you don't believe in buying PJ merch from EBay, but I've seen several Wrigley Emeks sell for under $60, shipping included in the last 48 hours. They are there to be had for what I consider a minimal markup if you're savvy enough with EBay.
Nope. There wasn't any '11 pre-order of posters. There wre pre-orders for their '09 tour. I don't remember if it was a few day's or a few weeks before the show but those who scored 10club tickets to the show were able to place an order @ the 10club store. It was limited though, that I can remember, so we had to place an order right away before it sold out of pre-orders.
In '12, they did a pre-order for Isle of Wright show cause it rained @ the show. Pre-order was up for 3 day's, again, what I remember.
I hope they bring this back. It would be great for us 10club paying members to have a secure print of the shows we scored tickets to. Just a thought ...
I agree the cards are the real find out of all the show merchandise.
On artistic merit I don’t rate any of the Wrigley posters at all, and having 5 posters to commemorate one show is overkill at the very least and insulting to fan's intelligence and wallets at most.
The distribution of merch at Wrigley couldn’t have been handled worse.
I refused to play the wait in line for 4-5 hours to buy a poster and shirt thing... My buddy got in a merch line outside about an hour before doors opened, had to wait in line for like 30 minutes (when I cut in with him for holding both our places ha ha), and sure they were sold out of a LOT of stuff, but I still got 2 packs of cards, stickers, wristbands, and pennants. Once we got inside, he went straight to the merch stand which was apparently horrible with pushing, hot, etc and was able to gets us both an Emek poster and the navy blue shirt I wanted (was sold out in his size) and 2 more packs of cards. It took less than an hour. It sucks we didn't get Cracker Jack posters and some of the shirts/hats that there were none left of... but I had just accepted I was not going to get a poster by the day before when people were saying the lines were 4-5 hours long. I mean, live your life on vacation or wait in line in the heat... your choice. The Emek is practically worth face value now, and the other prices not counting Cracker Jack it seems will come down a little more over time. It doesn't have to be do or die on merchandise, people just make it that way. I had accepted the posters would be sold out since I didn't want to spend all of Thurs and/or Fri in line, and when my friend was able to snag us one each INSIDE the venue, I was pleasantly surprised.
I would have bought more cards if they weren't limited to 2 packs. But to see what people are buying packs for on ebay, or what ONE card sells for, I mean... come on. People clearly have more money than they know what to do with it. I'm a collector but shit, I gave up trying to track down the other 30+ cards I need, I don't have that kind of money!!

Furthermore, if it's not about the merchandise, and only about the show & music, why are you starting a thread about how 'disconcerting' the merchandise situation is? It's just stuff, enjoy the music.
I agree. Plus how many times has Pearl Jam EVER had 3 day's to sell merchandise for one single show? Every show they do the merchandise tables would be open just a few hours before the day of the show. That's it.
Next time PJ play's another HUGE event they should ..
A.) Day of the show is the only time you buy merchandise. Not 2 day's or 3 day's. 1 day. If it's a bigger arena they are playing with lots of folks, open earlier and add more tables.
B.) Hire better folks to run the PJ merchandise tables. Hearing way to many stories of people picking up more then the 1-2 poster limit. Doesn't make any sense. There needs to be better security and smart people selling PJ merchandise.
C.) Ever time a fan purchases a poster @ the merchandise table, they need to show their ticket stub to the merchandise clerk. He/she will get their ticket punch holed once. 1 poster per ticket. So the next time the fan goes to another merchandise table to try to purchase a print, they won't be able. IMO, they should try this out. Just once.
The AP is still well higher than the show edition. I haven't seen an AP go for less than $170 since the first week and most are at or over $200 with the average being $190. The show editions started out WAY high in the beginning, that's why their average is even close to $130....3 of the last 4 have been less than $100!
