I'll take one more swing at this. Probably to late for Fenway, but for Wrigley, I think this would work. 1 day 10c members only online pop up shop. One day in the next week or so, post the show merch, 10clubbers buy what they want. One order per member, 1 of each poster limit. Print out out and take it to Wrigley. They take one of the 3 merch trucks and dedicate for the online pop up pick up. Stock it with the orders inventory, no other transactions. They check your order against your photo id, pull said order and you go about your way. Could this work?
Try this again.
Please 10C! What needs to happen to have our voice heard?
At least explain why it won't/can't happen. I feel that everyone here in support of this would gladly pay 2x the cost for any merch charged at the stands to avoid waiting in hours long lines and getting frustrated by flippers (who patiently wait 7+ hrs, buy everything exceeding the so-called limits and then charge 10X on resell sites). The orders could be set aside and sent afterwards even. Extra $ could go to Vitalogy Foundation. I'm sure I'm missing something here, but just can't see why this wouldn't be a solution to the issue.

Based on Fenway id say they have GREATLY increased the supply.
So, now would be a bad time to lower the demand. Unfortunately, the flippers create that demand for them.

I think the logistics and financial reasons why they won't do this have been explained multiple times throughout this thread and quickly dismissed as being "negative". It's not gonna happen. 10C has established their business model for these shows and they won't change it for a message board petition.
