I am going to guess it will be a similar fiasco to Wrigley. People waiting in lines for hours over days to get to the counter and most items are sold out, randomly restocked 15 minutes after they are checked out or likely the pop up shop for Global citizen fest where certain allotments are set for each day and once they are gone you have to come back and wait in line tomorrow.

Probably, which will only encourage people to line up earlier and earlier as the week goes on, creating even more of an unnecessary frenzy.
I've accepted the fact that I will probably have to overpay on the secondary market for these items. Not arriving until Sunday and would rather hang out with friends than hours in line. Maybe I will luck out in the venue.

My feelings too... Boston is too cool a place to waste the day standing in line. Hopefully the ten club will put some up for sale otherwise I will pay up on the secondary market. My time is more valuable than what it will cost on ebay. And it eliminates the stress of standing in line only to see everything sell out in front of you.

Agreed ..... 'enjoy the day in and around Boston and the music at night
You guys seriously think there will be huge lines for merch? I was thinking of popping over on Tuesday during my lunch break. From the sounds of it that probably isn't going to work.

You may clear some of the line out if you plan on doing that...

Nope. It'll be a shitshow,
Every day I am doing some zen and hypnotism, talking myself out of buying any merch at Fenway...just go and enjoy the music. So far I am at peace with it, but I have a bad feeling I'll relapse as soon as I hit Lansdowne Street hahah

This is gonna be exactly like the Global Citizen pop up shop, I bet. They'll have limited quantities of everything show-specific and sell out early in the morning and restock the next day. People will line up earlier and earlier as the week goes on because they missed out the previous day.
Honestly you're better off either trying for 10C poster sales online, artist edition sales online, or waiting a month or 2 for prices to dip on eBay (look at the Philly Emek or NYC owl...both are going for roughly $100 now after being $175-$200 right after the show). I know there are rare exceptions to the rule on posters, when something is just SO GOOD that the value immediately skyrockets and never comes down, but hopefully it isn't like that.
From the looks of the map I BELIEVE the locations are in Red Sox pro-shops. If so they will hopefully be using Red Sox merch staff as well and can pump out the volume. I don't know if this was the case for FF as I got my stuff at a push cart right outside the park (there had to be at least a dozen of them). I can;t imagine with the amount of stuff they will have that it will be at a cart. 5 posters alone would take up all of the space.
I plan to head out early on Tuesday. I figure since its a work day, people coming for the show wont be in town yet, and it will be raining (please no wet posters), that it will be my best shot at getting what I want. With that said if the line is out of control when I get there then I will be turning right around and going home. I just pray that they release more picture and posters get leaked so I know what I am waiting for! So far I want one of those RS hats, and a sticker/poster from night 2.
Now I just need to figure out which stand to go to....1 or 2 ?!?!?!

Ohhhh that was classic. I think I may try that method if there's anything I want.

I agree with the posts above as well....unless you really like standing in lines, go see the city and figure out the merch after.
