Look at it this way...there are 12 shows...12 stickers...I plan on buying 12 and hopefully trading for the other 11...its fun. No big deal if I cant get one...like Gydnia. Its fun to connect with PJ fans around the world and trade stickers. I'm not going to flip any on ebay. I do wish the 10-club would sell them online, but that would take some of the fun out of the hunt. Jim

I agree, I've made so many friends from trading and I love reading peoples stories about the shows they have been too, we can't go to all the shows the sticker collecting is like being a part of the show even if we can't make it to the show for whatever reason, distance, work or associated costs etc
so cincy soldout of stickers , buttons and posters on day of show so pop up shop started selling today in Austin and I wont get there until sun. so I can just enjoy the show then and save money
The stickers are great for trading with other fans. I bought 10 at Wrigley and used some to get other stuff I'd wanted forever (the EV target logo from 09 etc). It just seems that more people have figured this out, in addition to the usual ebay sellers, but I honestly think people are buying stacks of stickers to trade to collect all the stickers from the whole tour after seeing the sticker craze of last year and Europe go nuts. Nothing wrong with that, it's just too bad they sold out so quickly. PJ will realize this and print more at the later shows... if they can make more money off $2 stickers, they will. Watch.
Strange you were able to get ten stickers at Wrigley. Meanwhile I was only able to get two. I was held to a limit. So apparently that bring up another issue some enforce limits others don't.

Well said. I am in the same boat. I have heard the pop up shop sold weekend 2 items too. I am going to both weekends...I guess saving money it will be.

While I like the attitude, the fact that PJ does this doesn't make any sense; it basically encourages flipping. Same deal as Wrigley. Dumb.

Haven't been commenting as much lately, and I know this debate comes up every tour... but... i just gotta say a couple of things...
I don't understand this concept of fun "in the hunt". I don't get any fun out of searching for things I want. If I want something, I just want to be able to buy it... and I certainly don't get any enjoyment out of walking up to a merch booth and not being able to buy a memorabilia item from a show that I went to because people around the world need to "collect the set" or "find it fun to trade".
The bottom line is that this stuff is meant for people to have a keepsake from a show that they went to... at least that's what it means to me and most of the other folks you see in this thread who "just want a shirt or sticker or pin from the show they went to"... you know? All the people out there needing to have stickers or pins or something from every show to "collect the set" or "feel a connection to the show", don't you see that you're potentially keeping someone from having a keepsake from an actual memory they have of the event?
If it wasn't for collectors and people around the world needing to have "everything", we'd never be in this stupid situation, where you need to go to a merch booth at 3 pm in the afternoon.... but at the rate it's growing, it's just going to continue growing out of control...
the real question is: what are you going to do with all this shit when have? I stopped playing the collecting game a couple of years back - now if I know I don't have a use for it, i'm not gonna buy it... Like what are you going to do with a sticker from every show? Most of you are just going to put them in a pile in the closet and let them sit there... forever... or until the next time you need to feed your 6 kids after you lost your job...
i dunno... i'm sure i shouldn't be judging people for what they do with their money... but the fact that I'm going to go just to the show on both Sundays, and probably arrive late in the day, and there's not going to be a sticker/pin/event shirt left in the place is mind boggling to me... just cause someone in timbuktoo needs to have the whole set...

This makes sense. Im on the fence here tho. I don't have to have everything, or collect whole sets. But If there is a really cool sticker/poster/button design that I love, than I'm going to get it. Weather I was at the show or not wont matter. But I totally agree with what your saying. If you go to the show, you should have no problem getting what you want.

I'm in the same boat, man. I have an extra of both acl stickers if they're sold out when you get there.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
Flight to Amsterdam and 4 nights hotel = $1,450, Red light, food and weed another $1,000. PJ t-shirts stickers and buttons = $250. TOTAL = $2700 recouped on merch on ebay after paypal and ebay fees= $800 total out of pocket for 2 shows and 5 days in lovely amsterdam in the summer $1,900
memories = priceless
dont fault people who hustle a little in order to travel the globe to see PJ and remember "god bless a child that can hold his own" Big Daddy Kane "raw"
ACL booth had an initial line around the block. I arrived at 430PM and there was 4 people in line. They had plenty of stuff. I'd be shocked if they ran out but we will see.
