I'm going to Philly 2 and am hoping to get at least a poster and shirt. guess i'll aim to be there by 1 p.m. based off the comments here!

Just a "heads up" for you,
if you are trying to get merch at the outdoor trailer...
and REALLY want a poster and the Philly event T-shirt,
You'll have to get in line way before 1pm!!
We got in line around 11:30am in Lexington, and were lucky to score posters!!
A guy we talked to in the hotel said he got in line just before noon and the posters were gone before he got thru the line!
Best of luck with the merch lines

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is it safe to assume that Credit/Debit cards can be used for all merch? or is it cash only?

Cards are accepted

I respectfully disagree. They use, I think, Square for credit card payments, so no printing and fussing around with pen and paper to sign, which speeds things up. You just sign using your finger right on the tablet. It's probably no slower, and may even be a bit faster than counting out money and waiting for change.

Just my $0.02 (speaking of change)

The method used for credit / debit card purchases really depends on the venue,
Lexington did use Square...
Greenville, Hampton & Columbia had the machines that printed a receipt customers had to sign!!
If you are just buying a few small items...cash is the way to go.

Good point about the method of credit card processing being different at each venue. I had just assumed that the merch truck uses the same form of credit card processing wherever it goes. Bad assumption on my part. I guess I also forgot the golden rule about what happens when one assumes

Have they been selling a decent amount of posters inside the venue? Have never had a problem snagging one before but am kinda worried about missing out at these Philly shows. Won't be able to make the merch line today as we won't be getting into town til 4 or 5.

The guy in the trailer in Lex said they had 200 inside.

People camping out for merch? This has gone a bit too far.

It's most likely the same guys camping out for GA...
One guy gets in line for the GA line and his ticket buddy gets in line for the merch!!

I hope that's it.

On the credit card machines they use - sometimes they go down or the network is really slow and that'll slow the line to a screeching halt. Happened at the Vedder solo show in Boston, they could only take cash after a certain point until the machines came back up. It's always a possibility...

If you happen to notice the credit card terminal is giving the merch staffer trouble and/or isn't working, and the staffer/s look confused and are clueless, don't be afraid to speak up and tell them more often than not whatever the issue is you can resolve it by simply unplugging the terminal, waiting 60 seconds, plugging it back in and attempting again. This should help with possible delays due to standing around waiting for things to get better when they won't on their own.

Holy Christ.

Hol... Y... Christ

that is just crazy, I understand for the rail, but for merch?

The thing about merch anymore is there aren't posters or items that go for like $800 anymore. It's just not worth flipping.

I guess the collection gene runs deep with pj fans, have to have every thing from every show that you went to. Glad I was able to curb mine a while ago.

Now who has that blue RNDM pick I Need!!!!

That looks like a GA line. If it IS for merch then that's just nuts. None of thes posters are going to be tons of money...

YoungJam35

Based on the setup from last time the were in Philly, the left looks like Merch and the right looks like the GA line.

If anyone would be kind enough to pick me up one of the EMEK's I would really appreciate it.

The merch thing is crazy. Something has to change. I really wanted the poster in Lexington but it wasn't even worth trying. I talked to several people that said they were gone by 3. Inside venue only had 200 I heard. Stickers, show specific shirt and posters were all pretty much gone before I even pulled into KY.

Yeah. Fuck this. I love getting posters for shows I have attended, but I'm not camping out for this shit.

Based on the 3 shows I went to I'd say yes. But I'd still get in there ASAP as the lines inside were long almost as soon as the doors opened.

9 boxes with 200 posters per box. 1800 posters total.
