Pearl Jam 2016 tour merch

tempo_n_groove

eBay sales are nothing doing! Flippers are going to lose their asses on this one! Yesssssss!!!!!

So posters and cards were in stock till close yesterday? Not bad at all.

What is the limit on the flag? Will it be something they run out of? Trying for someone to hook me up, but no bite yet

Colorado Fan

I saw people leaving the merch tent yesterday with two flags in hand, but who knows for sure what happens in the magic tent...

Pearl34Jam

Yesterday there was a guy in line who already had a bag of merch from earlier and 5 poster tubes in hand and he walked out with more.

Most likely a flipper.

Colorado Fan

The amount of folks walking around Chicago with what seemed to be loads of merch was just stunning. Five tubes seemed to be the norm, and bags full of goodies. Things that make you go hmmm...

Seems silly, can't you just put all posters on the same tube?

Yes, if you want to damage your posters from being rolled too tight

The merch scene has totally jumped the shark, for sure.

Shitting on people who partake in the merch scene has become a big time cliche around here too, let's be honest.

Sure, a lot of people take it too far, (Stop bitching if you don't get the poster you want, THAT is when the merch becomes more important than being at the actual show!) & I get the whole "I would never wait X amount of hours" thing, that's cool. Some people would, no big deal.

Is it materialistic? Yeah, probably, but IMO there are a lot worse things you can be in life.

The secondary market is an unfortunate byproduct of the demand....... Flippers suck, don't buy if you have that much of a problem with it.

It is highly likely that a serious poster collector has 5 tubes with 1 poster per tube. Since there are 5 posters for this show, it seems people may be overreacting a bit.

shetellsherself

Yep. I read that and started to feel nervous. I might buy more than 1 poster and don't plan to jam them all on one tube. Promise I'm not a flipper.

I'm not sure we can trust her. Just look at her avatar. She's obviously trying to us.

So basically, everything is terrible.

Always be wary of classic spinning children's toys.

At merch stand on addison/sheffield, already about to wrap around the corner. If anyone is ay the other stand and wants to agree on a poster trade... I just want the klausen, whoever gets there first.

How's that line looking this morning in the rain?

korn-1

Rain hasnt really started yet, looks about 150 long at sheffield/Addison spot now

IlliniGuy76

Torrential downpour here on the SW side.

I think if it's wrapping the corner there, you might be looking at around a 2-3 hour wait...

RC242143

Anybody know the dimensions of the Klausen poster? Looks narrow, so thinking about bringing a shorter poster tube tonight if its still there inside.

Good luck to everyone out there today, just looked at the weather radar and it looks like some storms are headed in.

Nah, sorry if that's how it came across. I guess when you're letting the merch scene get in the way of your enjoyment of the show then it's terrible. Otherwise, who cares?

I have to stop posting before I've had coffee.

We were in line yesterday for about 3 hours. It was a long wait but got to chat with a few very nice fellow 10C members. Got one of each poster, couple of shirts, tote, stickers and pins. They had a lot of stuff left when we finished so I hope everyone can get what they want today and tomorrow.

Where is that line, BTW? Thanks for the recon!

Big tent seminary and waveland. Bring umbrella poncho and patience. Line out of the black snake organizer thing and around the corner. Not sure how far it extends down the street

Given2Fly-Fish

What does the blurred out shirt look like? Also, are there plenty of duffel bags and how is the quality?

Thanks!

Thanks! Horrible question on my part - I know where the tent is, I'm sorry. I was curious how long the line was... hoping that line dwindles (wishful thinking, right?) by time I get there around 11:30 ....
