Got in line at 5:30, got in and got in the merch line immediately, they sold out of the Bulls poster but still had the Blackhawks poster and everything else I wanted, got my beer and chicken tendies and got to my seat just in time for Inhaler. I'm happy. Feel terrible for those who waited for hours outside, I did that at Wrigley years back and never want to do it again.
Only thing I didn't get that I wanted was the jersey, but I'm a small guy and even medium hockey jerseys are huge on me.
The Chicago merchandise is amazing up close! Was in Minnesota as well and loved what they had, but Chicago is next level cool.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
I don't get the mocking of the two ladies with 6 filled duffel bags between them in the same thread where there are also multiple requests for people to pick them up an extra item. Yes, they might be flippers, or they might be the people helping out others with their requests. The hypocrisy on these Boards with who can resell items or who should get extras is so dumb.
Have they done multiple posters for one show before? I was a huge Bulls/Jordan fan when I was a kid. I had so many Jordan posters I had to put them on my bedroom ceiling. I also remember going out shopping the day after the first championship to get the t-shirt just like the caricature poster. So that's pretty cool for me, although they kind of missed the mark on Mike. I like the hawk poster even more though.

I just wish they would only allow actually ticket holders to the show to buy items and then cap item limits at 2 each of anything. It would help a bit. Hoping some of these things show up in the shop. Missed out on shirts and stickers first 2 shows because they sold out and I'm not waiting in line for hours.
Went in around 7pm, was able to get the Bulls and Lions shirt no problem - could have gotten the Hawk Astronaut poster also.
They were out of the championship poster (bulls) but had the other two.

Arrived at venue 7:00, got a beer and got in merch line next to my section. In line 20 minutes, they had everything in stock except Ames poster. They actually had a separate line for posters, which nobody was in the line so I just walked up and got the Hawks poster. Left show 20 minutes early and saw most items still available on the way out.
You all will get to the other side of this merch game and love the freedom and relief from addiction! For those still in it, good luck with the lines and hanging out in parking lots and sidewalks when you could be drinking beers on the lake in the sun (assuming a nice day up there).
Bootlegger, we used to talk and trade a bit back in the day. I'm getting there also, but not as advanced as you are.
We don't get tours here anymore.... so it's always needing help like a merch buddy or ebay. Tbh it usually is ebay. it's paying overs no matter which avenue so it is getting really old.
I just want the 2x new hats and don't know which way to go... pay more than double on ebay each, ridiculous ebay concocted International shipping rates, taxes, usd to aud exchange rate....farkkkkk

As a knicks/rangers fan I’ll skip all this merch. Tough stuff for out of town fan 0/6.
As a fellow Knicks fan I hear you. That game 5 in 1993 still haunts me to this very day. I would definitely pass on any merch that is Bulls related. I hate the Cowboys as well and I'm afraid of the potential Cowboys themed mech at Ft Worth which I would also have to pass on as well.

I was in section 114 last night. There was a merch stand outside that section. After Inhaler I walked out to see how it looked. They had 3 lines for this stand. One of the lines was posters only. There were 7 people in the poster line. It took less than 5 minutes and I had the basketball poster and the blackhawk poster....DONE!

Alright alright looks like we found one of the ladies in the pic.

That's encouraging to hear! Did anyone happen to pay attention to how many merch stands there were inside last night? Did they have any in the 300 level?

I arrived to have dinner at Queenies (the restaurant at United Center) around 5:15 and there were no lines at the merch stands inside the South Atrium. At this point those stands were pretty thin. Only had the Uke show poster, no signs of hockey jersey, basketball, duffel bags, etc but they had a fair amount of the other wearables. As for inside the venue the main concourse had multiple merch stands. I didn't count all of them but I'd guess 6-7 (i'm sure someone has an exact number). Sorry, but I didn't head up to the 300 level so I'm not sure what it looked like up in the 200's and 300's. I also feel like it's kind of hit or miss on which stands are going to have in stock. They are CONSTANTLY bringing stuff out. In general, it seems like posters are relatively plentiful. If that is your thing you should be able to find what you want with a little poking around and not spending a day in line. There definitely seems to be a premium on the basketballs, the duffel bag and the hockey jersey.

Okay cool, that's pretty much what I expected. Didn't know they would do separate lines for the posters though. Thanks for the info!

Were plastic poster tubes allowed to be brought in to the UC last night? I read somewhere, probably FB that they weren’t being allowed. However I saw a couple of people with them. I am thinking of bringing mine tomorrow but don’t want to get there to find out I can’t bring it in.

Yeah, I don't know if that was a universal practice for all of the merch stands but for the stand outside of 114 there was a poster only line. as you lined up it was the line on the far right.
