Doesn't work like that.  Hanging the poster is an intrinsic part of attending a PJ show and I'll buy and hang it even if it is shit.  but that then means I look at a shit poster every day.  When the poster is amazing it adds to the whole experience.

Have stickers been selling out early?

Any of these posters - probably framed, matted and hung - can look incredible. That’s art 101. Frankly, most people (PJ fans in particular) don’t display their stuff correctly, because it’s expensive or they don’t have an eye for matting etc or because they hang it next to five other things that don’t compliment it or because its being displayed in a Michael’s poster binder in a closet etc.  I’ve gone through those threads where people post pictures of their PJ prints framed and hung and all I can say is...yuck.  Lots of gutless black frame jobs hung over shitty home office desk furniture.  Yeah, of course it looks bad.

These prints aren’t my personal favorites but I could see someone doing something awesome with them.

Friendly rant over!

You can't put lipstick on a pig.  These posters are poor

Uh, I think you mean to say “Hanging a poster is a part of MY concert experience.”  Reread your statement.  No one is forcing you to buy the shit poster...except you.  Don’t let a poster ruin the show for you.

And, like I said in another post, if you must have it, fork over the dough and get it framed really well.

I don’t think the posters are bad.  Art is subjective.  But I think people prefer when there is a direct or subtle connection to the city where the show is played.  Anything too out of the box seems to get panned.

And I am arguing the opposite.  Centuries of art and hundreds of art galleries do just that and it works.  There are entire art school curriculums that would argue the opposite too.  Art is made, in most cases to be displayed. If it is displayed poorly, it will affect the viewer’s appreciation of it.  Quality of content matters, but so does context.  Diminishing one will diminish the other.

The point is: black frame white matting like so many people put their prints in?  Yep, its deficiencies will stand out.  Someone with an eye for framing and display could improve just about any picture.

Agree to disagree.

Ok, ' MY' experience.  But don't forget,  PJ visit the UK every 4 years or so and I only buy the posters to gigs I go to,  so getting a shit poster for one of those gigs DOES hurt.  Flipside is I missed out on the Hammersmith Mumford because it was a good poster and the bulk buying flippers were out in force.

Are these the official posters? What's the significance of some of these, such as the first one with the goddess-type woman?

The problem, in my opinion, is that rock posters in general are detached from the show itself. 

the fusion of the artists together with that specific show (geographically, date wise etc) is what interests me.

Just getting some guy who's amazing at drawing crows, do draw a crow and throw Pearl Jam on top off it is quite boring to me. Or atlest, a missed opportunity.

^^^this.  Yesterdays poster WAS the o2 Arena,  it had elements of the planetarium and even if it wasn't the prettiest.  it was relevant.
