2018 Euro Merch

cincybearcat

Crap. I really wanted an awful design. Wanted this poster, but not into the merch craze. Still selling Milan poster here? That’s what I wanted for Rome

I heard from multiple sources at the show of people buying 10-15 posters EACH, then the supplies running dry. Other people were buying 4, so others tried to but their server wouldnt. These sales are run by local people so it is nothing the band can influence in real terms or the management. Instructions are given to limit and if they are not followed what can they do?

Greed always wins in the end.

Thank you.

Exactly. 
Mandate limits and things will be OK.

I tend to trust Paul.  Crazy that after years of this people are still walking away with an armful of posters

Band don’t care. That’s ok, I’d rather they focus on the playing live and making a damn album. But it’s clear that they just don’t care at this point. Not a priority, so I made it not a priority for me either rather than deal with being pissed if about a piece of paper. 

Sucks - which you could pre order a show poster but that ain’t happening.

I pick up one here or there but not nearly as many as I used to. I think at one time I had close to 50 posters. Now I just have the ones framed on my wall. I might get a wrigley one this year but who knows.

How can it be so hard to enforce a 1-2 poster limit? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I guess. as long as I don't wait too long. I REALLY needed that Charlotte 2013 poster and it would've cost me an arm and a leg if my wife hadn't won an online raffle.

EDIT: BTW... I only buy posters from shows that I attend.  unfortunately that has been 30+ shows plus 4 more this year.

I think its fun, but I stopped waiting on massive lines on show days. I got the catch coming out for a beer at Fenway 1. When I have bad luck, ebay it is. Not worth 5 hours to then maybe not even get it and miss the city you are in.

Thank you.

Can you explain why a second print run is such a bad idea?
Any scheme that elimates the scalpers and allow fans who want a poster to get one at face value from 10C (rather than eBay) would seem to be a good thing?

lastexitlondon

Same I'm out . It's easy.
 Just get one here and there. But in the end. No stress just if it's now and then . No problem. I got other people my allowance of 2 posters in London one for each person. I was in line for bloody socks for guess who? So I was in line anyway!

Poster artists are NOT 10club or Pearl Jam employees.  The band does them a favor by hiring them, it allows them to sell their AP’s at a cost they seem fit and make profit.  The original size print run is what makes the print so desirable. You can’t always get what you want.

You can still limit the number of prints in an AP run making them costlier anyway and continue to make profit.  I want prints for the way they look, not because they are limited.  I just seems like the current way allows all the "middlemen" to make all the money.  If I'm going to drop 5x the face value for a poster, I'd much rather it go to the artist that created it than the person flipping it.

Exactly. Increase supply to meet demand, whether via 10C or the artist is immaterial as long as the profit is redirected away from eBay. How the artist or 10C wants to split the profit from a post show sale is up to them. It’s clear that many people on here feel like they are having a bitter experience with the current set up hence an alternative approach might be worth consideration.

I’m going to see Pearl Jam at Wrigley for the 4 and 5th time, respectively.

Thanks Santos and all at 10C for the quick shipping. The Tsang print just got dropped off.

Can you please pick me up 2 of every poster, 5 buttons and 2 shirts in every size? I’ll buy you a beer.

I can solve this problem easily.....only attend shows with super shitty posters....I have my four eyed cowboy from the show in Oakland.  Lots of them at the time-could walk right up and get as many as I wanted.  Hell, if I wanted a duplicate I could grab one right now from Ebay for almost free....
