So if I plan on getting merchandise from the stand on the Tuesday between the shows and it opens at 11am, what time should I get there? I'd like to get my hands on city-specific merchandise and not wait in line all day.
Probably 6-7 am to guarantee, but who knows.
I recommend getting in line a half hour before the doors open and getting what you want inside. Worked for me on Thursday
otoh, if you line up in the am & they open at 11, you’ll probably have your stuff before noon & the rest of the day to relax
I enjoy the merch game but the getting in line early stuff like this doesn't seem worth it to me. I only one time, on Thursday, have not gotten everything I wanted by getting in line later and have only once, on Thursday, waited for more than a few hours. You get in line at 6 you are guaranteeing a five or six hour or longer wait. I understand wanting everything and not wanting to carry it in the show but at what point is that just way too much time spent for the return? If time is money eBay is better in that regard.
I understand… granted I didn’t line up in the AM, but I appreciate the communal aspect to it… I met some great people from the forum this week, and it’s been awesome to put faces to the names after several years. In that regard, there’s more to it than just waiting for stuff…. But I do also get the frustration of waiting for hours and still not getting what you want. I’ve been there.
I get the community too. I love it. But that's a long time to wait. You do get whatever you want though.
I liked the community part up to a point. A couple hours ok. But after that especially in the heat it's gone too far now for just stuff you will hardly ever use .

I mean I love the merch but the communal aspect of the merch and GA lines are fantastic!

Instead of standing in a line, walk across the river and grab some tacos at the Taco House and then walk over to Wabasha Brewing for beers/THC drinks.
Completely agree…Especially since the Pearl Jam Merch Manager in charge of the hockey jerseys thought the show was in St. Louis not St. Paul.
Ha not exactly. It's a nod to the St. Paul Saints team which was an old WHA team that played in the St. Paul Civic Center that stood in the same place Xcel is now.

Minnesota Fighting Saints was from St Paul, the jersey is a replica, what are you talking about?

It bothers me to see $2 stickers and buttons on ebay for $30 😒
You must be new here. I would stay off of eBay for sheer sanity. Fan Facebook trading groups are better because the majority of them are fans. Friends don’t let friends buy Pearl Jam merch on eBay!

Haha, no I just look sometimes out of curiosity, but it just pisses me off so I need to stay away. I'm gonna try to get more buttons/stickers at the show tonight so I can trade with other fans for different years/shows.

The stickers are overlooked but may be the most amazing thing about the merch nonsense. They are typically really easy to get at the shows but are marked up so much. I think it is overlooking because they are still "inexpensive" but if the ball was upcharged 15 x it would be more than $1,000 and even that isn't happening.
I do think they come down in price, I've only bought stickers for shows before I didn't get stickers, and never thought they were crazy, but the early markups are insane. They don't cost anything to ship either.

Fair enough! That is what it is all about! I have made some good friends (some from Poland) by trading merch! It’s a lot of fun! Best fans in the world! Enjoy your shows!

What percentage of people buying the basketball will actually use it? I bet 1%-2% use it as an actual basketball, 5-10% display it somewhere at home, and the remainder never use it for anything other than trade bait/resale.

I totally agree it's all become trade bait and resale .

^haha. I plan to just display mine below the posters I have. The duffel bag I'll probably actually use. I'm surprised by how decent of quality it is.
I’m glad to hear it’s decent. I was worried about that.
