Billy Strings Knoxville last week, you had to prove you were a ticket holder to purchase from outdoor merch. Thought that was great.
Not sure if they did that for Huntsville as well or not.
I saw one guy in Nashville last year who was just a flipper. He paid people to let him in line, then would hit his merch limit and do it all over again. he made 3-4 different purchases and no one would say anything to him.
In NY/NJ we would kill this guy.
honestly not sure if anyone else even noticed. he just kept walking by with handfulls but would go to a new spot in line each time to pay

So call him out! Not cool at all, id get a riot started.
Typically how fast do they sell out of the local shirts? If you're not in line today, are you out of luck?
You can probably get them inside tonight. Tomorrow would be a gamble.
At St. Louis last year the merch line was insane inside the venue. I was hoping to get to the merch stand during the tomorrow, but that doesn't sound like an option.
Yeah you either have to commit to getting in the merch line 2 hours early or lining up to get in the show 2 hours early to make sure you get what you want.
So frustrating.
It really blows...I mentioned in another thread that I was at the QOTSA show in Nashville a few weeks ago and walked right in at show time and posters were available for that nights show and a few shows before that. No problem getting shirts, etc.
I know PJ has a bigger following but damn it's insane.
Yeah it really is insane. I used to get all worked up about the merch but as I've gotten older I really don't care. I'll try to grab a shirt inside the venue and if I really like the poster I'll track it down. I'd much rather experience the city I'm visiting than stand in a line for hours.
I have to adopt this attitude. The shirts are cool but I have plenty of PJ shirts and do I really need more? No. Need to shift my mentality to the experience until the make the merch "experience" better.
We're like an AA group
You have to just break free of it. Don't do the "I'll just swing by the venue and check out the line" thing...it will be way too long and if you break down and decide to wait for 90 minutes in line they won't have your size or poster anyway.
Been there done that. I'll be your sponsor.

Yea, that makes me want it a lot less. I have to mentally prepare myself for not getting any of the merch I want. Even if I wanted to wait hours in line in the Texas heat for merch I can't due to work which is crazy right now. I guess in the end I don't really NEED any of this but I do get some joy out of seeing posters from shows I attended. It would be nice to at least get those without enriching the dirty flippers.

I agree. The stickers look pretty sweet. I am going to try and walk by on my lunch today and see what the merch line is like. I'm pretty sure these STP dates will have the smallest crowds and higher odds of getting what you want.
$50 extra if anyone can pick up for me a L Hockey jersey, L city shirt, 2x license plate (for each of my kids, not me :-)). Me and the little one heading out from Madison now then checking into hotel and heading for the GA line. Not sure if a merch stand is in our future tonight given I'll need to watch him. Can meet up w/you in GA line prior to show. Just PM me if you can fulfill.
$80 for the bag makes me more ok with not waiting in line to get one.
im still on the fence. pretty unique item
