Eddie's Playbills

How are they dispersed? Are they available for purchase at the merch booth? Are they handed out at the door? Are they waiting on your seat?

And what is your time frame for getting one? Do you have to be in line as the doors open? Inside by the time the music starts?

Eddie: I don't know whose idea it was but it was turned down.

    They are handed to you by ushers when you enter the seating area.

    They ran out at both of the shows I attended, though, so you may wanna get to your seat before (or early into) Liam Finn. Grab the program and then go get your beer or merch or whatever.

    At both shows, I had people offering me cash for my program. I would have sooner relinquished an arm.

    they were handed out but only had a certain amount. We checked out our seats early and then went back out for drinks etc.. when we returned there was none left for the people entering.

    If I don't end up using it to (partly) trade for a Batman poster, I have an extra that I'll send to someone for free.

    in DC, they had a lot of them early, but the people next to us came in right before Liam Finn went on. Best bet, go in, check out your seats (you'll get one then) & then go outside & get a drink or whatever. (posters outside at the booths were aplenty - they shouldn't run out.)

    Handed out by ushers but you gotta get in early..prior to Liam Finna coming on. In Boston I missed out they were gona and I got in right when Liam took the stage...but in DC I got lucky! I got one on my way in early....about 10 min before Liam Finn came out. Good luck!

    Thanks for all the replies! We're getting to Milwaukee good and early tonight, so shouldn't be a problem! And am I to assume they they aren't show specific? The ones in Milwaukee will be the same ones in Chicago? If so, that unloads some stress in Chicago.

    A small tip - if the usher tells you they are all gone, check the other aisles...at Massey the people along the center aisle were telling us all they were gone ("long gone" actually) when I look to my left and right and see the ushers along the far rows each holding a stack at least 50 high. Also keep your eye on the floor as you leave - some folks will simply leave em' in their seats. I saw a dude collecting them all as he left - must have ended up with 20.

    For Montreal 2, the usher's on the left side were only giving out 1 per 2 guests. It was weird. They did ran out of the playbills that night very fast.

    I have a few that I was able to grab at the end of the show. I suppose it's first come, first served.

    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.
