Will there be a flyer of sorts like Wrigley to show what is available for purchase?
I'm sure 10club will send out an email later this afternoon. From a fan who was @ Easy Street Records on Saturday .. "Bierman said that they will have a lot of "pretty cool stuff"." .. Can't wait!!
anyone else have a slight problem with the band selling merch for 6 days at an event to promote social awareness about extreme poverty?
people standing in lines for hours to buy meaningless products? are the proceeds benefitting any of the causes they are claiming to support, or is it all driven by profit for the band/fan club?
not trying to sound holier than thou, but this does leave a funny taste in my mouth when i start to think about it

Good point. Real ? Is the band donating their time playing the show?? If so, then who cares about the pop shop.
you're not wrong my2hands. I struggle with whole concept of Global Citizen. The week of merch (to compensate for the absence of a merch tent at the venue) just adds on to it.
1) Each day from Sunday-Friday, new items go on the Ten Club website. Items may only be picked up at the Volcom shop, and will not be shipped. Order confirmation page and photo ID required to pick up orders. 2) By the day after, orders are picked and set aside, like a ticketing will call. (i.e. day one orders are picked and ready for day two and onwards) 3) Any unreserved stock from the previous day gets released to the public in the store, in a separate lineup. 4) Unpicked items at the end of the event are refunded, and go on sale online.
Essentially, the shop becomes primarily a pickup location, Ten Club customers are preferred, and the insane lines will be to have your order fulfilled, rather than to get to the front and be disappointed.
Why not just ship them to purchasers and eliminate the brick and mortar costs? Why not just make supply = demand and eliminate the secondary market?

I only thought that part was necessary because of the spirit of a pop-up shop. Clearly, they're trying to reward being at a certain place at a certain time. Personally, I think that 'right place, right time' requirement is a bit silly, and would agree that it should just be a week-long online sale event.

I've been involved with (or at least known about the monetary side of) about ten charity events. When big acts were involved, their time was never free. I'd be absolutely shocked if PJ, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, or Coldplay weren't profiting off of this event as it is. So, what's a little bit more money in their pockets? I understand where you're coming from, but Pearl Jam is a brand at the end of the day... MSNBC's watermark will be at the bottom of the live stream, all will know who the sponsors are of the event, merchandise at the shows will reinforce that. Sadly, people need monetary incentive to do good deeds for the most part.

Any mention of the proceeds going to global citizen? This is going to be nuts. It would be great to know more about what will be offered for sale. Why would they limit retail sales?

I would be absolutely shocked if PJ was getting their normal fee for a concert. Rumor has it they get $2m a festival. Id guess the organizers buy some carbon credits or some other arrangement to cover the band's costs. There is no way the VIP sales could cover the fees for PJ, Coldplay and Beyonce.
there has been no mention of proceeds going to global citizen, or any other cause...
i understand the band employs a lot of people that need to get paid and provide for their families... and i understand this band is full of generous guys that are, from what i can tell, great people that are far from greedy... BUT... i'm just picturing a bunch of fat & happy members of western society standing in line for hours just to buy hundreds of dollars of crap to celebrate an event thats intention is to end extreme poverty
we are talking about children that sift through garbage dumps daily just to survive... living in total squalor... people with no water, no electricity, no access to education, no fucking hope at all... meanwhile i am in line with my $5 latte buying a bunch of fucking junk that i dont need... for 6 days lol
not trying to bring anyone down, i like the merch stuff as much as the next guy, i've just really been thinking about this for a few days now
not calling anyone, or the band, hypocrites or evil capitalist pigs... if i go i wil probably end up with a print... i just think maybe they could have not rolled out the merchandising machine for this event

Yeah. I just want one poster. not interested in "collecting all four" or some shit like that. I agree with you that it seems weird, but let's be honest... this is the way the band has been going for a while now.

I'm already going to be buying stuff for others who live globally; however, I'd be willing to pick up an item or two for others at cost plus shipping. I'll be there everyday during lunch/ after work. I can do the same for about 5 others. I'll do anything to circumvent the flippers. DM me if you're interested.
I HAVE ALL I CAN HANDLE. THANKS

And Munk One could probably do an amazing NYC themed print
The flippers will probably "Employ" a few people for this purpose.
