    I stood in line in Toronto in 2011 during the early afternoon. It was a terrible experience. That will serve as the first and last time I ever line up for band merchandise.
    I don't understand why people travel to cities to see shows and choose to stand in line for hours for merchandise, rather than experience the city. To each their own.

    It's a brilliant selling strategy and people LOVE it! Even I love it! I'm just not going to kill myself and waste hours in line. The people that do deserve to get the merch they want. Just like waiting in line for GA to be front stage. You put in your time you get the prize! I hope we all get some good luck and walk away with a great t-shirt or poster that we love without selling a kidney and without a 4 hour line! Best of luck to everyone!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Will check this out on Tuesday. No desire for the posters. Posters always end up in the goods section or through the artist website. I'm so glad this is just merch for the NYC show
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    The worst I've seen was Seattle 2013. I think they opened up the merch booth a few days before the show. I got there the day before the show. The lineup was insanely long. All I wanted was a poster. There's no way I wanted to spend half a day in Seattle to get a poster. It was the same the day of the concert. Then I walk in the venue shortly after doors open and everything in the venue is well stocked. Plenty of posters, tshirts etc.... Didn't have to wait in line at all.

    The there was the Seattle Pop Up Shop was pretty bad too. No lineup control, -7 outside, very limited merch resulted in many people waiting 3 to 4 hours in the cold for slim pickings or nothing at all.

    I'm probably done with the line thing. The positive side is I really only have to deal with it for Seattle shows. The lineups in Vancouver were much more sane (40 minutes) and there was no shortage of merch. When you go to any Northwest show that isn't seattle, it's a much more sane experience :)
  • I will be there on Tuesday. No work, on vacation and ready to see Pearl Jam

    "- No poster tubes will be available."

    Don't forget to bring your bazooka tubes to the Pop Up Shop. :p

    Since Wrigley Field's Pop Up Shop, 10club has sent out newsletter / flyers on what will be on sale @ their Pop Up Shop event. I can't wait to see what's new. :)

    Hoping my friends going to this are able to help me out with some PJ exclusive goodies @ the Volcom Store. *crossing fingers

    Random question: how's street parking availability around the vicinity of the store? Is the area notorious for difficulty to find parking or the opposite?

    Don't expect to be able to park on the street. The parking garages will cost you the price of a poster or two. Good luck!

    Due to availability or enforcement or both?

    Trust me. Don't drive. You'll spend all day looking for a spot. Or.... Pay a crazy amount at a garage. Or... Pay a crazy amount for a ticket.

    Yeah, the crazy amount for a parking ticket these days with surcharges is about $100. That's if you're lucky and don't get towed instead. Welcome to The Big Apple!

    Don't drive. Subway, walk or Uber it. Manhattan is not conducive to driving and you will just be wasting time, money and energy.
