Can anyone give me any info before the Melbourne BDO on the poster situation.

I.e were they limited in numbers? did u have to get there super early to get one? can I take in a poster tube or buy one there?

Also if anyone wants to get an extra one I'll be happy to trade for an extra melbourne one if I can get it.

The GC one looks awesome.

Cheers

    Apparently they have tubes, and apparently you can pick up from merch stands after the show.
    Not 100% but that is what i have read.

    The posters came with a tube, They stiil had posters available up until PJ started. The lineup for merch was small when I got there, not sure many people wanted to lug around a poster all day.

    AUckland you could pick up poster after Pearl Jam Set.
    Gold Coast, just tubes with no caps and no pick up after.

    Assume other Australian shows will be tube with no end-caps and no pick up after show.

    I emailed BDO before GC show yo ask if we were allowed to take poster tube in and they replied that you could buy the poster and leave name and collect after the show.
    I went to buy poster first thing and showed the girl the email to which she had no idea about. She got the Merch manager over and he explained that they did that in Aukland and after the show it was a nightmare. So they now have poster tubes to give with each poster bought- fair option IMO. At GC there were posters on sale after the show, but not sure how other cities would fare- didn't see hundreds of people with poster tubes a GC.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    There were heaps of posters left at the end of the night. I paid $3 at the cloke room to hold my poster/sticker/new t-shirt all day! Didn't have to worry about it getting damaged in the pit.

    $35 each comes with a poster tube. I brought 2 posters and they offered me 2 tubes. Forgot to add I went to Sydney.

    In Sydney they had better tubes with end caps, I cloaked all my stuff at the both shows I attended.

    I got back to the merch table in Sydney just before 11pm and there was still a ton of PJ posters left. No Sydney shirts left though

    What was on the Sydney shirt? I didn't see one at the start when I first arrived at BDO. I am disappointed if I missed a good shirt

    :(

    I have a spare Melbourne BDO poster that I'm looking to trade. I would like a copy of the upcoming Perth poster, so if anyone's going grab an extra and I'll happily trade. But I'm also open to other poster trades. Pm me if interested.

    Bump..... I'll also have a spare ed solo poster from melbourne. If anyone wants to pick up an extra from there city for trade. I'm amazed there's not more of you out there trading posters, it beats buying them off eBay at huge markups!
