Is it a one poster per person limit or is it more? I'm thinking of having my friend buy our posters then hand all the merch to me so I can go put it in the car or vice versa. That's what experts told me on the Merch Thread I started. JW whether there was a limit to poster buying. If it's 1 per than we'd both have to go iin I guess.

    Another question.....

    Do venues generally allow you to bring in an empty poster tube? I'm tired of trying to protect my poster with my life during the show.

    No poster tube into the show, pjs security will personally take it away from you. There are signs at the venues that say poster limit one per person. Weather or not those are actually enforced im not sure, but there are definatly ways to get around it.

    Hopefully that spreads some insight

    *This advice is intended on you guys playing fair and not becoming eBay whores yourselves*

    Bought posters both Chicago nights, here's what I recommend:

    - If you want one, get there when doors open. Never later. If a merch stand is sold out, check the upper-level stadium merch stands, as less people go directly to them.
    - Limits were imposed as 1 per person, but if you have a friend standing next to you that isn't interested, you can still point to them and say you're getting one for them.
    - Poster tubes aren't allowed (although some people still got in with them). Best bet is to get plastic bags from the merch people and get a rubberband or two. During the show just sit it on your seat, because you better be standing the whole show.

    I attended both nights in Chicago and they carefully enforced the one per person rule - if you wanted a second the other person buying needed to be standing right there with you. I still wish the 10C would consider allowing people to buy posters when they pick up their tickets - although United Center employees were handing out tickets Tuesday and Wed and they likely wouldn't want to deal with that. I would also love to see a poster only stand away from the rest of the merch just to make things go a little quicker and to separate the poster buyers from the other merch buyers.
