2020 US Tour Merch?

With the production lead time there must be a stockpile of Merch for the US shows.  Unless insurance requires that they be destroyed for coverage, PJ should sell these as oddities and perhaps donate some of the proceeds to COVID support.  I would buy stuff for the cancelled MSG show.  I have stuff from the cancelled London show in 2018 I was there for.

    would be awesome if at least the artists were allowed to sell their allocated artist signed/#'d editions as i'm sure those were printed up and ready to go. let them get something to keep them working, eating and living to pay bills etc

    I think that's a good idea. Could always let the same artists do new designs for the arranged shows.

    For the cancelled London show In 2018, they used the same poster from the original show and changed the date and color.  Would expect basically the same for the reschedules here but would still be a valuable memory of this crazy period in world and Pearl Jam history.

    I’ve seen some bands doing this with proceeds going to out of work crew members.  Supporting crew, artists and/or research would be great.

    I am confused by this statement.

    The night 2 London show in 2018 was rescheduled, they still sold some of the merch before the cancellation was announced. I’m assuming that is what they’re referring too

    For sports, yes.

    I have two postcard shirts from Eddie's canceled solo tour from when he hurt his back.

    I guess it will be sold as mystery boxes. There would be tons for sale. They would be a complete mystery not knowing designs or anything. A fun gamble lots of fans would grab one.

    It’s most likely to be used for the re-scheduled dates. They aren’t going to waste the money and resources making new merch. Mystery boxes are what, $100? So they would lose money stuffing all the 2020 tour merch into mystery boxes.
