Sadly, I did not get a poster. I was too late. I thought doors opened at 6:00, apparently they opened earlier. :(

Guys that got one, please tell me how to get one for tonight. What time do I need to be there??

    The posters were sold before the entrance so ANYONE could have bought one... yup that means that even someone without a ticket could walk up and get it. (Not sure if this actually happened). I'm fairly certain they started to sell them around 4:30 and I got one at 5. I plan on being there around that time again tomorrow.... well, tonight! Sorry you couldn't get one. I sort of lucked into it by seeing a fan with the band at borders and then rushed over. It was pretty unfair.

    Yeah I was wondering what the hell was up with the location of the stands. I'm really pissed off. Even with it being MSG, I thought getting there at 6:00 would've made it pretty easy to get one. By the looks of everything, they were LONG sold out by the time I got there.

    So if I get one I can still go back outside until closer to the show and get back in without any hassle? Get something to eat and shit?

    this sounds like deja vu.... (takes me back to the 2003 MSG poster fiasco)

    They were tough on letting us wait in line for the posters by the Merch stands. They pushed us outside and said they won't open until 5:30. They opened earlier and the lines were long, but got the prize in the end. Maybe tonight they will be informed enough to start a line outside or over to the side of the selling tables. Doubt they care that much.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Posters sold out at 558 as the girl in front of me in line got the last one. I was amazed that you didn't even need a ticket to get one, just get the wristband and leave. Go to a bar, and if you didn't have a ticket just come back after the show and pick up your poster. That is crazy.

    consider yourself lucky if you didnt get one. that was the most hideous thing Ive ever seen... wouldnt hang that thing in an outhouse. ames bros. strikes again!!

    tim better not beat me up tonight at msg :)

    I walked up at 540 and got one of the last ones at the one side. The other side were still selling for another 15 mins or so. They seem to last for a while, just took people by surprise.

    Hopefully they won't just sell outside tonight, because they weren't checking for tickets as you went into the merch area, so scalpers could go in and sell them. Totally ridiculous....

    Start lining up around 4; they pushed us outside and kept yelling to get away. Finally, a huge line got up and I think they started selling around 5; I can't remember, but I was there really early and there were tons of people.

    I was pretty infuriated when I found out they were selling them to just anyone off the street and were sold out before the fucking doors even opened...I'm relieved this morning to see scans of the poster, man that is pretty bad.
