Come on 10c! this is getting ridiculous. We are all fans and end up paying SO much for merch which we should, by all rights, as 10c paying members should have.

I think there should be an option to purchase a Merch Bundle when buying tickets - includes gig poster (obviously), stickers, pins and a T shirt.

At least this way you can guarantee that real fans get the merch they want and take it out the hands of the flippers.

Please at least consider it??  Or do we all need to start looking into this Bot software business just to get a show poster?

    It just makes sense, and is fair, and good for the fans. I really don't see a negative!

    Ive got a show coming up for the Chris Robinson Brotherhood and purchased the VIP bundle. Ticket, Autographed show poster and some other goodies included (meet/greet). Very happy to have that option.

    This is a great idea because the majority of the flippers are not 10C mem...I can’t even say it with a straight face.

    Maybe - but at least it gives a chance for real fans to secure their merch at the retail price and not have to resort to ebay

    I think that I would categorize some 10c members are trade baiters, merch whores, merch junkies, rafflers, sticker freaks, and even... sock weirdos.  Flippers is little bit extreme...  :rofl:

    They did do it once and it did not go well. When every poster was not an all time classic, people were not happy. See the spectrum posters. Guess 10c is damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

    Saw this on the other thread seems like a good idea to me

    I know we all keep saying it but why doesn't the band just put the posters up for sale with a 3 day time limit like (a bit like Vault vinyl sales). That way, anyone that wants one gets one and anyone trying to flip will have nobody to sell to.

    Makes ya wonder how much more money could be injected into the local businesses if the people who are normally waiting in the merch line for hours were able to spend the time visiting, sightseeing, eating, drinking etc. if they were to offer the pre purchase option.

    This is still true @Santos L. Halper : 

    "Sick of people paying child laborers to snatch up all of the posters while you were outside getting the most out of your bratwurst? Tired of paying good money for a cool poster before the show, carrying it around like a Faberge egg, only to have some over-served lout spill their beer all over it during the encore? Well, now you can kick back and relax. The Ten Club is happy to announce a concert poster pre-sale for those who have purchased tickets. Here's the deal:"
