Most arenas have a reverse atm. You can put cash in the machine and it will give you debit card to use at the vendors if you don’t have access to a credit card.

Here's an idea: For such long merch lines, they should have shirts available at some point in the line purely for people to try on for sizing. I know that takes one person away from the merch stand. They could probably do on the honor system if they just provide the same shirt without the PJ design. It is brutal watching people take all this time to try on clothes.
I've long said there should be an express line. Step up, hit the clock, and you have 60 seconds to complete your order. Need more than a minute? Use the regular line. Run out of time mid-order? You can purchase what you ordered and get back in line if you want more.
People trying stuff on is a problem when there's a limited item about to sell out. Guy behind me at Foo Fighters yesterday was going ballistic because the person at the front of our line was trying on hoodies while the other three lines scooped up all the foil prints (about 25 available)

He’s absolutely right. A dedicated poster sale line would be ideal but I don’t run these things.

I wish I could say I'd be much more chill in that scenario because hey it's just stuff and we should be more evolved than that. But I would not be more chill.

Good luck with that. My goal is to not stand in line for hours and try to enjoy myself and just get what I get.
Not heading to Indy until after I get off work at 5 day of. Wrigley N1, I would like to attend the pre-party and see what that's all about. Wrigley N2, my son will be joining me and it'd be nice to hang out in Chi-town before the show.

Ive done Fenway 16 and 18 but skipping this year. Seeing this kind of makes me want to go but I won't. That's be a cool jacket to rock even though I have 4 other jackets I still haven't worn...

Me too. With arena shows a possibility, didn’t feel like doing another stadium.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane

They had a separate poster line in Chicago last year
super random question - but where was the merch line in NYC in 2022?
The line up began alongside the Eastern staircase facing 8th ave and then once we went through security we were brought inside and up the escalators to the theatre merch stand.

Why isn't it one line and you go to the next available open spot? Next, Next , Next....This set up sounds like trying to figure out the quickest line at the supermarket. Sorry to sound naive, I don't do merch.

Gonna say July 2nd as the sticker in the store also says July 2nd.
