My wife and I were talking yesterday, and we discussed how awesome the Pemberton '16 show was. The band was on fire, the set was only 20 or 30 minutes shy of a full length 3 hour pj show. There was none of the usual frustrations that surround a PJ show. There were no lineups to get in, it was all GA, it was easy to get a decent spot just before they hit the stage, and there were no merch lineups.
It was like Pearl Jam Heaven
The length of the merch lineups (especially outside) have passed the insane line. Weren't they 3 or 4 hours long at the last Wrigley shows? If we didn't have friends that were in the seats (who scored some merch for us inside the venue) I think we would of been out of luck.
I'm not sure 10c would take this on (mail ordering) though. They sold posters online for the '09 tour, but they mention it was a struggle to mail out that many packages. Given that we have stadium shows, it could be tens of thousands of orders per show. They might be too small of an operation to handle that :(

I’m definitely not knocking the Merch hysteria but I certainly don’t understand it. I do like to buy the occasional T-shirt or hoodie but I certainly am not waiting in line any longer than 20 minutes. I typically walk into the venue when I get there, walk up and grab a shirt. Half the fun for me for concert day is being at the local restaurant / bar with all the other crazy Pj fans feeling the anticipation growing before the show. I can’t imagine waiting in line for merch of GA for hours and missing out. Just my thoughts of course.0

I might just not be remembering correctly, but I could have swore that when I got tickets for Chicago in 2009 through the ten club they offered the chance to pre-purchase the poster to the show.0

All I ever want is pretty much the same thing. A tshirt and a poster. Never used to be an issue, now it's really difficult.

There is nothing more annoying than waiting in line for a concert shirt for an hour and then have the person in front of you get their turn and they still dont know what shirt they want. Really? After an hour you couldnt decide? SMH.0

Seattle 2013 had lineups wrapping around the Key Arena neighborhood for four days straight, but I walked in, had a short wait at the merch booth and got everything I wanted.
Hopefully the 10c figures out a way to distribute merch better for these shows, but i'm not sure how. If they go the mail route, that's alot of merch they have to package and mail. I suppose they could increase staffing at the out door merch booths. Maybe a cash only lineup

I quit waiting in lines at show for merch right when it became a headache. Not worth it. I also do not particularly enjoy lugging stuff around and worrying about it during a show.
I would happily do a blind pre-order0 -

The Foo’s are already selling their Wrigley and Fenway Merch..

Okay, I know we are 6 months out from the Wrigley Show, however I do have a question. This will be my first show so I would like to get a poster and shirt for both nights what time would you get in line on Saturday? Unfortunately I'm landing in Chicago at 10:00, will I get there too late to score what I want?0

If your reserved and you don't want to spend half a day waiting outside... maybe go inside for doors, and buy your stuff inside.

Haven't been to a show yet, Seattle N2 will be my first. Is there really no merch inside the venue, just outside trucks for anyone to walk up to, ticket holder or not? If so, would it be possible to get there early, get my poster and possible t-shirt so I can store it in the car or drive back to the place I'm staying at and not have to worry about bringing a poster tube and hanging onto the merch the whole concert? I love the idea of pre-order to skip the lines and just have fun.0
