Had to leave to come home for emergency so not making it to 2nd show. Looking for a XXL set list shirt if anyone could do me a huge favor. Please PM me!
I'm about 15 back at the big tent. Sun is out in a cool show day morning. This is going to be a breeze! I hope...
Did you just get there? I'm heading that way. I'm really only looking for the duffle bag but would rather wait in line early and get it out of the way if the line isn't too bad yet.
If anybody at the merch tent this morning could grab a night 1 setlist shirt in Medium for me please send me a message. I can meet up with you later today before the show or inside Wrigley tonight to pay you for it and buy you a beer or give some cash for helping out. Thanks!

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.
Older woman? Yea, she was a total bitch. She accused me of cutting in line and then refused to go to the other counter to get me a button.

I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love.
Since deciding not to worry about getting merch, I feel that I have had a weight lifted off of my shoulders. No lines, no worry, just enjoying the show. I was able to get Klausen poster for $59. shipped safely to my house without stressing about it. Its about the music, the band, the experience of being in the building for me and I can't wait for tonight's show! Hopefully the lines are moving quickly for you all!

From someone who understands the merch craze, this is pathetic. Yes, people can do what they want with their free time. That doesn't make it not pathetic what they choose to do. Most likely looking to flip stuff but still pathetic.
That's it? pfft. Seattle Pop Up Shop '13 there were 10 of us @ 4am. Good times!
That was for Benaroya, colored PJ20, etc. This is for general merch you can buy inside at show.
I know. I still would of been @ Wrigley outside for Pearl Jam merch this morning @ 4am too.
So, coming from someone who LOVES merch, I don't understand this. Not judging because to each their own and how people choose to spend their time is their right, but man, I think I have to retire from Pearl Jam merch whoriness if this is the new normal
I did not stand in line for Wrigley merch 2013, and didn't this past weekend either. I thought I would get the withdrawal jitters but surprisingly did not!
Can you post a picture? Headed there soon? How long did it take to get through the line?
Can someone explain the story behind why they call Go, Don't Go on setlist sheets? Is it just because those are the lyrics in the song or is there more to it?
I was wondering the same thing. I actually had to go make sure I wasn't crazy and that the song title was in fact Go and not Don't Go. My theory is that someone gets confused between Go and Why Go if they just write "Go"
