    In line at 11:30, out at 1:30.Got everything I wanted except the Thomas. The line is much shorter now, not stretching down the street anymore. Good luck everyone!
    You got out at 1:30 and they were sold out of Thomas in an hour and a half the day before the show?  
    Sold out of the days allotment. EVERYONE was buying two of that one.

    That's what I assumed - my question still stands... they're sold out of a poster at most 1 hour 30 mins after the tent opened the day before a show? 
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    I was in and out around the same time as you. The Thomas was to be the only poster I was planning to get. Picked up the Ames instead since most of my other posters are theirs. When did buying multiple posters at a show become a thing?

    On Thursday, I was one of the first 25 people in the tent, and the Thomas stack was considerably smaller than the rest. For some reason, it appears there were less available of this poster. At least from my visual observation.

    It makes ZERO sense to me how a poster is sold out 1 hour 30 minutes (at most) the day before a show even if every single person was buying two of each.

    I know that...
    Why for the day, an hour and a half after the tent opened a day before the show, was one poster completely sold out?  Again - makes zero sense to me.

    Perhaps they're saving larger daily allotments for the actual show dates and for people that are actually attending those shows...

    My guess is once I get there Monday evening there wont be much to choose from. It seems if you cant get there two or three days before the shows you are SOL!! Which is BS IMO

    Bummed that I might have to go back another day to get the Thomas. Unless, of course, some kind soul wants to be a hero and grab one for me! Hoping some of the karma from helping out someone else today will come back around to me.

    I got to the tent and just couldn’t wait that long. Anyone know if they will have shirts tomorrow night?

    Last time they played Wrigley, there were merch tents inside wrigley, and I was able to get everything I wanted.  nothing was sold out.  This was on the 2nd show night, and about an hour before the show began. 
    Near to death.
    Here to die.

    Be sure to double check totals and sizes .. Lots of mistakes

    Got in line this morning at 7:50 am, I was 35th in line. They opened the doors at 11:55, very organized. They would only let 25 up to the counters at a time and would not let more until all of them had a chance to purchase. They allowed 2 of each print per person. (I did not get 10 posters for the record  =) ) I was walking back to my car by 12:20. The wait sucked bad but I would rather wait 4 hours super early and get what I came for than wait and have stuff sold out.

    Just from holding it up - I bought it for someone else - I think the sweatshirt is running small. I would have bought a large for myself, but this is an XL and I think that’s a better fit.

    No idea if they’re in stock, but as I recall that’s the largest size they made.

    So getting there by 6 Monday morning should be a safe bet?

    Overcharged $135... they wouldn’t let me back into the tent to dispute it ... said I need to wait in line again (2-3 hours).... or exchange my bent poster. I should have caught it at the register, but they certainly don’t care about making it right. Know your totals and double check your posters.

    In 16 they tried to overcharge me by bunch. Thankfully I caught it. I believe there was a thread on here about it and a bunch of people got overcharged. It seemed to be unique to Chicago. Be careful and make sure the amount is correct.

    I must have been just ahead of you. They were opening more Ames when I got to the counter. I’m going to try my luck tomorrow inside the park for a Thomas. I got everything else I wanted though. 


    The grey hoodies do run small. I’m usually a large shirt size and I got the XL. The sleeves are basically perfect length for me (just a small amount past my wrist)
    Hey, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm certainly not the dumbest.
