Got so lucky. Was drinking across the street and saw them prepping the third trailer at the corner with like no line. Went down at 3, guy said they were open long in 5 minute. 30 minute wait on a full trailer. Got everything I wanted. Just pure luck, but they have a ton of shit inside. Enjoy the show and get the merch when you can.

one of the worst merch situations I've seen, ever. Piss poor management. hard to believe. from what I've heard about Thursday, Friday, Today - to at the show. Horrendous. I went for music and a small token. couldn't get anything unless I wanted to run from the doors at 530, or miss half the show. Well done.

Haven't followed the details the past few days but see it's a mess. What time do I need to be there in the morning to make sure they still have everything?

The nose bleed booth took almost 2 hours to go about 300 feet. They had everything up there though.
The good:. I went to that booth after the first set, was lucky enough to get the last Klausen. Thankful for that. Met some cool people.
The bad: woman working the booth might have been the rudest person I've ever encountered. I asked for a large shirt, she said small right back to me. I replied with, no large. She gave me a dirty look, and again retorted with small. This went on twice more before the person next to me said they must be out of that size, which they were, so i passed on the shirt. I asked for 2 more items, both of which they had in my size, but the woman refused to bend down and grab them, instead I slid over to the next window and had to have her co worker get it for me. No tubes, no bags, nothing to put this stuff in. Again, woman looked at me like I'm some asshole for even asking for a bag. Now she might be right about the asshole part, but for asking for a bag?
The merch scene is out of control. I'm relatively new to being able to go to multiple shows, have money for merch, just started collecting posters.... etc. it appears that time will be short lived. Like I've heard a number of people say on this board, if I have to have something in the future, I'll pay rape prices on eBay, or just not get it. Never again will I wait in that line, anywhere.

Go there now. Literally. Go there right this second. I'm about to walk down just to see the shit show for myself and wave.

I'm staying around the corner, took a nice little walk to get a coffee from Dunkin. No one congregating.

My only suggestion is what I did in Boston, get your butt up crazy early, like 5am early and go wait in line for 3 hrs instead of the apparent shit show of 7 hrs. My thinking was, get it over with early, drop my merch off and enjoy the rest of the day not worrying about a thing. Yes, you might be a bit tried but man up, get some beers and apps, recharge then rock out, good luck!

I was able to get everything I wanted inside Wrigley. It definitely seems like there was more than enough merch produced for these shows. I was able to spend the day bouncing around Wrigleyville and plan on checking out the city today. If you are still chasing merch, there is plenty available, get out and enjoy the surroundings. No need to wait in lengthy lines.
What an amazing show night 1 was!!! I can't wait to see what Night 2 brings, this band is the absolute best, I don't know if it was because of my first time in Wrigley field, but there was something I can't even describe about the energy and overall vibe of the whole experience yesterday. These memories will last forever and I can't be any more thankful for Pearl Jam and the music have given us that has impacted my life in so many ways. Bring on night 2!!

I got everything I wanted except posters and 1 of the stickers at a stand inside Wrigley, right after the show. Waited for only a few minutes.

I got what I wanted after waiting three hours yesterday at the tent, except for the El poster. Walked downstairs during Alive, right by the Cubs store & there were two people in line with all posters. You could have walked in and gotten whatever you wanted w/n about a 2 minute wait at that time...
or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah... makes much more sense to live in the present tense...
Anyone know what the tent line looks like right now? I'm thinking of heading up there from downtown about 1030 and have nothing to do before Wilco tonight.
For last nights setlist shirt, is there any other way to buy it since I had to leave early this morning?
I hope they put them on the website....I want a Fenway one

Man! The prices have dropped significantly on eBay.
They'll keep doing it, too. Poster prices start sky high ("Buy now they'll run out!"), then fall down a bit ("Hey everyone's flipping, need to sell!") until a majority of items bottom out after the shows ("Fuck I overspent and need to pay that credit card bill!"). Fenway did the same thing.

Shirts I'm XXL but Canadian jerseys I was a XL. These fit large or like the shirts
