This lady behind me in the St. Louis merch line, this very second, told me she is buying 100 stickers, 60 pins & 10 shirts for her friend in NJ... for eBay. This is for real and not to start something. Don't shoot the messenger.

Buy them all before her. Fuck her friend.

Honestly though, tapeworm and I could use a couple stickers if it isn't too much trouble.

Consider it done.

The getting you stickers part that is.

I would tell the merch people to limit her amount :P This shit has to stop.

I really hope that this doesn't lead to some form of fighting. It seems to be headed that way. I really really hope im wrong

Just imagine ..

"Riot breaks out outside the area where Pearl Jam is playing tonight. Fan's were flipping out cause each fan was able to purchase 100+ stickers per transaction. All stickers sold out hours before Pearl Jam got on stage, There's blood everywhere Ron Burgundy."

Top story on the 11 o'clock news. lol

There wasn't a limit on stickers in austin yesterday but a guy tried to buy 50+ so they put a limit of two on it right then and there. Good for the guys working the trailer.

Stickers already gone in St. Louis. (only 5 hours before show time).

This happened in Hartford last year - but luckily there were more for sale inside when the doors opened.

Dude in front of us bought 60 and cleaned them out. Was confronted for flipping. He said he bought them all on behalf of people in GA line.

BS either way if you ask me.

Implement something to stop the abuses.

I cant believe a vendor would sell someone 60 when they see a long line of people waiting. You have to have a lot of nerve to step up and ask for 60.

Maybe instead of tossing guitar picks into the crowd, they should toss stickers!!! 8-}

Saw the same thing at Wrigley. Only thing going thru their heads was, "Sweet, I'm getting off early tonite!"

It's laughable that someone would buy 60 and it's crazy that they're allowed to.

Not saying it isn't wrong to buy them with the intent on selling them, but it's up to the rest of us to stop paying the crazy ebay prices for these things. If people keep paying $10-$15 regularly for a $2 item, the sellers are just going to buy more and more of them

Wow, thank you! Hope we can meet up tonight!

We were in line as they ran out of posters twice. Stickers also ran out, but we're replenished as I was paying. I'm glad to have one for my beer fridge, but they're already on eBay. WTF?!?

I agree to limit them like the posters.

I haven't read this entire thread, so if this has been said, I apologize. But, if they did what some folks suggest - sell stickers here - the demand would plummet and it wouldn't be worth it for them.

Collecting's fine. But hording is not normal. I wish they would sell them here just so the hording would stop. Problem is it's not a very good business model and it's not their responsibility to police our lunacy.

I do believe thinking of others and not just your own desires and wants is a positive thing.
