Obviously not using Facebook is the ultimate way to put an end to it. 

However you can't flip a switch and all of a sudden FB has no users. That will take time, and let's be realistic, probably won't happen.

But what can be done in the meantime, short-term? 

I know what can be done, the band releases more posters. Band makes more money, artist makes more money. Problem solved. Fake shit is everywhere from sunglasses to purses to jerseys, it ain’t stopping. 

They've been printing more posters as of late.

If they were to go back and reprint posters I would moxt likely just sell all of mine and not bother anymore.

How about this?  10C prints variant versions of the posters.  People don't seem to have any trouble buying coke color or blue swirl color versions of the album Ten that was sold more than 25 years ago.   Have it made to order.

I hate reprinted baseball cards so I wouldn't like this either...

I may be in the minority, who knows?!?

Totally agree with you.

Agreed. Original or bust for me.

All comes down to motivations.  Do people want art to hang onto their walls and remind them of the show, or do they want it because it is rare and worth a lot.

Wouldn’t be the same as buying a reprinted Van Gogh or Picasso in an art store for $25?

Both of which I'm not buying either.

Why not all 3?

All of the above.

I thought this was referring to some users here...

We have ones from the shows we've attended, purchased at the venue.  No muss and just a little fuss.

Probably a manager at Staples

Print more originals

Ya, I get the "do not buy fakes"

but I also can see how some folks cant afford to pay the market price and went to the show. They just want a bloody poster to put on their wall.
