    This is making me laugh a little cuz I just stopped by the atm on my way home for the show on Friday. I always bring cash and I try to get change of a 20 at some point so I can pay without needing change. I must say though the line looks a lot less pushy than some previous merch lines I've seen.

    Do the PJ merch booths ever have autographed stuff? When I saw Soundgarden a year ago, they had 5ish tour posters that were autographed. Thanks!

    Have you guys seen ebay? The shit was up before the show even started. $100+ for a shit, $15 for a sticker, $30 for a pin. Part of me is saying that these guys have to be buying directly from the staff in an under the table deal outside of the merch tent/line that people wait on for 3 hours.

    There is a booth set up in the afternoon before the show, so they could've easily have gotten it then.

    They need to bring the preorder back. It's ridiculous that fans are wasting hours and dollars on this stuff.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Are people actually buying stuff for those prices or are sellers just trying to sell them for that much?

    What I'm thinking is the quantity and the uniformity of the photos. That's why I think it looks like a back door deal.

    Geez, seems like finding a sticker at shows is gonna be a pain/impossible. I wish the band would do something about this (up the supply and stop encouraging the frenzy).

    Pulled straight up the arena, paid $15 to park 3-4 minutes from the arena, went to pick up my tickets around 5:30, saw the merch line that was at least 2-3 hours long and said fuck that. Went down to get into the pit, walked straight into the pit with no wait, was dead center less than 30 feet from the stage, walked straight upstairs to use the bathroom and it happened to have a merch booth right beside it. Got in line and got a poster and shirt in less than 10 minutes. Literally within 20 minutes of getting to Cincinnati I was parked, picked up my tickets, had a shirt and poster and was great position to see the band. No complaints from me.

    The Solution to this problem (the same happened in Europe too, i saw a guy in Amsterdam buying 15 pins and 20 stickers in the first night!!!) is for the band to start selling the stickers/pins/t-shirts of the various shows in the shop.

    The prices are always high because its something ONLY sold at the show and thats it , almost like numbered editions so to speak.

    If the band would start selling this after the tour is over on the 10c shop there would be less people selling it on ebay for absurd prices. (for example : 80 Euros for a Milan 2014 shirt? are you kidding me???)

    I agree with just_one. At first I thought they locally produced show stickers/pins to cut down on their emissions shipping from Seattle but the mystery boxes/bags disproved that theory.

    Truthfully there is another solution. This "complete set" collecting is part of the problem. People pick up "extras" with zero intention of keeping them, specifically purchased for trades. I know, cuz I'm one of those people. I could've been that guy in Amsterdam, easy. I've already decided I won't be trading for complete sets after this tour. Even worked out how I'm going to artfully display my "2014 World Tour" collection.

    I almost paid 50 usd for a New Orleans sticker last night. 1. Because I was drinking and 2. It is the only sticker I need to complete my set. A sad, miserable existence, I know. That being said, any of you jokers with a N.O, sticker, PM me!!!!! :)

    If they opened a merch both outside Scottrade this afternoon I'd be the happiest girl in Missouri.
