    They should add a poster option when you put in for 10C tickets , just like they did for ticket stubs this time. 
    One per 10C account - only downfall is you agreeing to buy the poster without seeing it
    100% this.  People have been asking for this for years.. guaranteed sales regardless of quality.  It's a no-brainer!

    What’s the typical edition size for a Pear Jam gig poster? (And yes.ive looked at a bunch on expresso beans and they rarely have it listed.)
    18x24, typically.. with a few outliers that are usually 12x36.

    Just watch this forum and pictures will surface of people buying massive quantities of things, then returning to the back of the line to do it again.  Let the anger flow through you, and blind you with hate. Post wildly and create new threads faster than ever before.  Search for these people throughout the city of the show you’re in and let it ruin your experience.  Then go to the next show and do it again.
    Lather, rinse, repeat...
    Happens every tour.

    most seem to be 18x24. I have about 20 or so posters and I'd say about 15 out of 20 are that size.
    Then you get 1 poster thats 18x26 and ruins everything! Why?

    I'm getting a bigger kick out of people who haven't bought a poster in 10 years saying it was an easy experience

    I lucked out at Wrigley....got up early to get in line thinking that would help.  Favorite posters sold out as I was in the tent.

    When we were  getting ready to go into the show (early in order to try to score a Thomas train poster) a booth opened up right next to us and I got in line, waited 15 minutes or so, and scored.

    They used to let you pre-order the poster and it would arrive after the concert a few weeks later.  That was the best.

    If I’m going to multiple shows in the same city as I’m doing for LA, I don’t mind waiting in line for merch on the first day. 

    Get to the venue early if I can get in quick I get my merch and then don’t have to worry for show 2.  

    Gives me the opportunity to do whatever I want before the show on day 2. 
    What if the merch is specific to each day? Especially the posters. Could be two totally different ones, one for each day by different artist. It's happened before.
    If that happens, then it happens. I’m not tied to a specific artists poster. I go with the one I like. 

    If there is another poster the next day that I absolutely mist have then I’ll take my chances and wait in line. 

    My experience with arena shows though is pretty simple. Yes the merch line was long but they always seemed to have enough posters. 

    In Ottawa 2016 I was able to get a poster after the show ended.
