Boston Poster fiasco

Posts: 74
Ok, so I went to Boston 1 and went in at 7:30 and all of the posters were sold out. Hey you snooze you loose I guess. BUT........... I talked to a girl who had 7 (fucking seven) posters. She showed up at 6:30 an bought them. I asked to buy one from her and she told me $200 each because she was going to sell them on ebay. That is bullshit! She also wasn't in the 10C
I wish that 10C would offer us this limited edition stuff when we pick up our tickets so these scumbags couldn't take advantage of real fans.
I also saw MANY people who had 2 or 3 each. Lame, just lame.
There I feel better. Now I'm done bitching.

That really sucks! What a bitch
Im not surprised though, it seems that this is going on at every venue, because everyday right after the concert I see tons of posters come up on Ebay and people banking from the sale of them...
The really blows!
I too think that when you buy tickets through the 10C they should give you the option to buy a poster and then mail it, I would gladly pay the extra money for the shipping if I dont have to worry about having to deal with people picking up ridiculous amounts of posters only to make money off of them.

sometimes the people working behind the merch booth can be lax with this policy (1 poster per customer). also, the buyer can run to different booths and keep buying up posters.
if you really want a poster, be there in line as soon as they open up. other than that, ...good luck.
unfortuantely, no image- i have heard this poster looks sick! a giant whale with the fisherman inside his mouth, blue and purple.
id sure love to see an image of this poster,....the 7 auctions on eBay have no images.
and about the concession personel- some of them horde the posters also- they know they can flip them over on eBay ( prime example- MSG 03 - concession people horded many of them )

Same here. I really wish the 10C would crack down on this. When you ask the vendors "What happened to the one per person rule?" they just kind of stare you with the DIHL look.
Seriously, if posters were just made available to club members, and not at the venue, but through the mail, they could seriously curtail this rampant profiteering. Like someone said earlier, the cost of shipping and handling is worth not having to worry about your poster getting smushed during the show.

Agreed. I think they should still be available at the venue, but you should also be able to order them through the mail.

shoot the fluffysquirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't collect posters but I like to buy them for the shows I attend. They are momentos for me.
I was not aware there was a limit on the number of posters you could buy. If so it's news to me (wouldn't be the first time).
I think this is something we've been requesting for some time but has never been put in place. I think it should be.
This is crap.

Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.
Tell them.

i have a friend who works security at the fleet and he tried to buy me some posters at like 6pm but they wouldn't sell to him
and this girl gets 7?
I think its like 25 bucks a piece.
Ya, this loser had seven auctions up before the show was even over. Fuck you Fluffy
$100+ for a piece of paper that has some crappy art and the date of a show you were at??? its a cool collectible for $25, but have some control.
"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"
Have you thanked a taper today?
especially if someone tells me theyd sell it to me for $200, Ill rip the fucking things in half right there.

I hear ya Bro. I won't pay those prices but it's a little frustrating being a 10C member and spending crazy amount of cash to travel / attend shows and not being able to score a poster because of these assholes (even showing up an hour early and theiir wipped out)
That is so true!!
I was let in early to the MSG the second night cause my foot was broken and the security lady felt bad, and thought I would get a poster before everyone got to get in.. well WRONG!! I got into the elevator and some idiot usher guy was holding 3 posters.. oh man! I was so heated... !
Im thankful I got it later through the 10c though, but it was a bummer that night (until a drank like 5 beers in row and forgot for a few hours.. lol)
So now my 2nd option is to pay what, 60 or so bucks more for some little wench to do all that work for me and then mail it to my home, while I enjoy myself with no worries...
Seems like a bargain to me...
Another thought... I only buy the posters I like... So now I run up there early and I don't like the poster... Now I'm stuck with the overpriced food and beer and I didn't even like/buy the damn thing...
The moral of the story is where there's a market, there will be people willing to do the work to provide the supply and make a little extra scratch... Don't begrudge them...
If you want to really cure the problem... One poster per person... Punch a hole in the ticket stub and mark their hands with a sharpie... Very easy cure...

Holy Shit!! I was gonna get a poster instead of a T-shirt because I thought it would be a lot cheaper.
Guess I'm getting the shirt now.
