Everyone who buys a piece of merch at an inflated price is contributing to the problem just as much as the flippers themselves and just as much as the 10C/band who allow/borderline encourage this ridiculous atmosphere of buy buy buy. This limited edition crap has to go. And yeah there should be a merch limit at shows, enforced to allow just ticket holders access to tour merch. And Lost Dogs absolutely caters to this environment as well. Its just done in a slightly less blatant way. A while back I posted that I was in search of a Kenyon Hall print. You should have seen the ridiculous trade requests people were sending me in pms. No actual posts for the rest of the community to see but ludicrous requests via pm. After one that said something like "I'll trade for a '09 Cubs shirt and $150. It's the best deal you'll get,", I decided it just wasn't worth the aggrevation. Its just stuff

Some of us still lookout for each other on here. :-)
Here's a thought, instead of worrying about the Merch you didn't get in NYC, how about using that money to help end extreme poverty?
Sure. As soon as you turnoff your internet connection and donate the money to help end extreme poverty and sell your smartphone or computer as well to aid the cause.

I don't get your logic here? The internet allows me to be aware of such causes, while my smart phone & computer allows me to donate to these causes.

Hey,
Nothing happened to my source. The times i posted were from an official schedule that was obtained early in the week. The times ended up off because they added Common, Sting, the Indian lady, the African rap group and Tori Kelly.

You need a smartphone and computer to donate? Clearly you could sell at least one to help end extreme poverty.

Here's a thought... how much $ was spent on the festival itself? How much did taxpayers have to pay so this could happen? Any guesses on how much energy was used for the Beyonce stage show? Probably enough to light a 3rd world nation for a week
I'm all for great causes, but i'm not buying the hype that music festivals save the world... and for the record, tweeting and "actions" don't make you an activist... when ed said he never played to a crowd full of activists, I literally laughed out loud and said to myself you still haven't
I did not read one single thing I tweeted, signed, or emailed... neither did anyone else

at the risk of sounding bougie i went to the volcom shop at noon on saturday. the wait was 2.5 hours. i promptly opened my ebay app, found my precious precious merch for sale, and sent the flippin flipper a message asking for 20% off his insane starting bids; he agreed. made me feel like i had 'won' by only paying twice retail instead of three times retail. would've done even better to wait a week until the price frenzy cooled down.
so, in my mind, i pay a substantial mark-up for the convenience of not having to wait 2.5 hours in line and the risk of not getting the merch i wanted. oh, that does sound bougie.
my point is, flippers serve different purposes for different people. resellers are essential.
i am a huge white stripes fan and the same issues exist with Third Man Vault merch.

I'm thinking you could probably compare that to the donations related to the festival and find out that they exceeded the cost of the event, because I'm pretty sure a lot of those filthy rich people who got up on stage threw plenty of money at the cause.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

Ok.. I guess they were added last minute.
Not sure if you're trying to give me a hard time or implying that I made the information up. But none of those people I mentioned were promoted as being part of the show until the day of. My source was in charge of a major portion of the event. The information I posted was accurate as of the time I posted it.
So.... Bottom line... I didn't make anything up or troll anyone. Feel free to PM me if you would like to continue the conversation.

I've just seen the Wrigley Crackerjack listed for over $1100 USD.
Suddenly $125 for five hours doesn't sound like such a bad deal.
