I got my license plate on the upper level on Friday.
Less of a wait and I got poster, plate and all the goodies.

Ok, I normally don’t bitch about this shit, but I got here before 7. The line in front of us is very sparsely populated and there’s a whole long line of empty chairs. I walked to the front and counted and there are 61 warm bodies in front of me. Even if every one of them is taking turns with a line friend for the bathroom, that would be at most 120 people. There is no way that is what it’s gonna look like at 11:45. I will hold the line for someone around me who needs to step away for a bit. But this is fucking bullshit. You don’t get to walk your whole fucking party away and just save your spot. can you imagine if I tried that on the fucking rail? I do not understand how people can be so selfish and entitled. Anyway, thank you for letting me rant into the void.😮‍💨

This is why there's no merch at the actual show inside, it's a problem.  It's probably mostly been the same people waiting an insane amount of hours all three mornings.  They need to stop selling the city merch outside

Doesn’t this just create new problems for the indoors sales? There’s line management, which creates human traffic flow problems which lead to fire/emergency hazards. Plus you’ll have people lining up during the show just to meet demand. 

The real solution is to make more of the merch. Or if Tsurt can handle to volume (but I’m guessing he’s smaller like 10c) presages and shipping.

Then you'll have people lining up for 6:30 doors at noon or earlier. Same problem, just at a different time.

Then make it available to ticket holders online.  Or choose a vendor that can manage demand better.  These are my first shows since 2013 and I've never had this issue before, so something has been broken along the way

I don't know, I never had that issue in the past but these are my first shows since 2013.

The vendor is absolutely a large part of the problem, and I can't imagine how much it's cost the band this weekend.

If you haven't done a show in 12 years you've missed that this is the norm now... not that is good, it's just the norm

demetrios

Anyone able to pick up an extra license plate and token for tonight's show?

asutton327

I’ll let you know on the token, @demetrios. Already promised I’d get a plate for a line friend.

asutton327

if anyone has a N1 poster available, I will grab an N2 poster for you if they still have any when I get there.

I dunno about that man, according to people at other shows this tour there's been plenty of the city specific merch available inside.  I'm not fully out of the loop.  

I was in as soon as the doors opened Friday.  Shouldn't have had any issues getting anything.  There's a definite problem.

Local here, I’m gonna try for a plate inside tonight. But if anyone is able/willing to pick me up one in the merch line today, I would be super grateful and can meet up when I get down there around 3 this afternoon. Willing to pay a little extra for the effort, or buy you some drinks if you would like. Figured I’d put this out there. Thanks all, and enjoy today’s festivities, going to be awesome!

**was in the merch line Friday for 7hrs, plate was sold out by the time I got up there**

Can anyone grab a license plate for the guy who waited 7 hours yesterday only to have the person in front of him buy the last one? 

Still ISO a license plate if anyone is willing to help.

Pretty sure I was next to you in line on Friday. I’m in line again today and can try for one if you’re still looking.

I’ll let you know. Were you the guy debating whether you had enough time on your parking meter?

Yep, that’s me! I paid the extra hour for 10 minutes.

Cool. I’m in almost the same spot we started from on Friday. Fingers crossed!
