    I've been in line since 10:30, still about 75 feet from the truck. I haven't heard anyone complaining of anything, it's just a lot of people. The basketballs and duffel bag look really cool from what I've seen people walking by with.

    You probably aren't that much ahead of me. Can't remember exactly when I got in line. This is not the longest line I've waited in but it is moving slow.

    The problem is the per transaction time when people get to the truck. It’s honestly taking close to 5 minutes per transaction. I walked up and observed for 10-15 minutes. Way, way too slow. Not much sense of urgency. I’m prob 150 yds away and it could be another 2 hours. It’s honestly not worth it…

    Yeah, this might be the shortest physical line I've been in and might take the longest time once all is said and done. It is pretty silly at this point. I still like the experience but this shouldn't take this long.

    Flying in from Phoenix Saturday afternoon before the show- if anybody is able to grab a duffel and basketball tomorrow (assuming they release more) I'd be grateful!  I've got no shot with out arrival time most likely...  I'd toss in some extra $ and a sticker from the last Phoenix show (not much, but all I have to sweeten the pot)  Let me know if you're able to help out- thanks!

    It reminds me of deboarding a plane. Just stand up, grab your shit, and get the fuck off.

    Does anyone know the largest size they have for the shirts?
  • dwjmu84dwjmu84 Posts: 387
    There are 6 employees in the truck and each is serving a customer at about a 3/4 minute clip. So the math…

    I’ve now walked down twice to check things out. It’s SNAIL pace slow. 

    Maddening but lesson learned on my end. Hadn’t camped out for merch in well over a decade and this will be the last. 

    But, on the bright side, talking to other fans is always fun.

    Of course it's not.  Far be it for me to tell someone how to spend their time, but people waiting 2+ hours in line for something that they can probably get in the venue just never made sense to me.  And when it comes down to it, you (most people) have a ticket to the show....the most important part!! Go out and enjoy the city! Get some good food. Drink some beers! 

    And the basketball being some sort of holy grail will turn out to be one of oddest things, merch wise, in this bands history.

    About 4.5 hours for me too. Longest I've ever waited. It wasn't the longest line I have been in by a long shot though so that was weird. I got everything I wanted besides a show shirt, which have been impossible lately. That's three straight I have had a hard time getting them. But got the poster, stickers, buttons, and added the license plate because they had them. I am overall happy but that line was too crazy. Don't think I'll do it again the rest of the trip and just try to go inside on Saturday. Who knows though.

    I like that shirt, too. I am probably going to have to eBay it. The hockey jersey would be a bonus if I stumble across it.

    There is another problem. Having to enter items in one by one is a massive time suck. No bar codes so no scanning aspect here. Countless inefficiencies in this whole process. Honestly, this should be a product PICKUP, with the ordering done before online. Tie it to the purchase of the ticket or whatever.

    Oh well…
