    Flippers are going to take advantage of these kinds of situations if you let them. 

    It is up to the bands merch team and the venue to do better. 

    Exactly. Staff member probably didn't care or didn't know what they were doing. Maybe not trained well by their supervisors. 

    How many of those staff are third-party contractors or venue staff and do they really care about limits? If someone comes up wanting to buy a whole box of women's medium shirts, does that employee really care?

    Why pretend like there are limits in place then if you don’t give a shit to make the extra step to enforce those limits.

    Easy to see where human error comes into play. One or more people in the communication chain neglects to inform the next person.. Or maybe the cashier themselves wasn't told or forgot. The software is apparently not set up to catch it either. It sucks but come on friends they're souvenir license plates.

    Every tour it is the same problem. If they cared they would make the simple extra step.

    Or else what they'd do is use five different cards to get around the limits.

    One item a head solves the problem, no exclusions with different cards etc. Saw a couple with a kid walk away with 6 posters as well, that’s just plain stupid. 
    Don’t understand the 2 items limit either. Apart from buying one for a friend, what the hell does a guy need 2 decks for..

    A while ago I was buying stuff and cashier asked if my 8yr old was getting anything. Thinking back I should have grabbed a couple more stickers!

    A guy at Sydney 2 last year was trying to buy multiple posters. The lady serving him just said “There’s a limit so I’ll need to do more than one transaction”, then processed 3 or 4 separate sales for the same guy while the rest of us waited.

    When I used to hit the limited beer releases back in the day there were a lot of confused grandmothers and annoyed spouses in those lines

    It would be good if they over produce every item making them worthless to flip. 
    Then they can always mystery box us as many times as they like to recoup left overs .
    Problem solved

    Let's face it: we're a captive audience. We'll enthusiastically post about mystery bags with dusty scraps of paper from the warehouse.

    There's a rumor going around that one single person bought all the plates at the merch stand due to no limits?  Discuss...
    I heard someone bought 20 plates.
