    I think the poster craze peaked a while ago.

    :D

    i chuckled.


    the only times i have purchased posters at shows was the gorge 2005, the canadian tour and both euro tours. and i did so b/c it was SO easy, and picked up most for friends - *kicks self* - hahaha. now that i hve caught the poster bug and have to try at my notorious hometown shows of MSG...plus DC, hartford and mansfield....i just HOPE it can be so easy again! i don't want trying to get a poster be some all-consuming, overwhelming experience...put a damper on my pre-party festivities nor the start of the show experience...so i truly hope the system is better now. i'll see in 2 days!

    That's weird because @ 7:35 or so, there were only 4 posters left in the line I was in (Immediately coming in from the very FRONT of Tweeter). I got the 2nd to last one, I was sweatin it out hard.

    What is this new wristband policy? I saw people with wristbands and was wondering what it meant. I was never really a big poster fan.
  • kosteva2kosteva2 Posts: 329
    I got one pretty easily around 8:30 as well from the vendor inside the pavillion on Mike's side. I wonder if it was so easy because they sold 2 nights worth of posters in one night. I remember 2003 was a bitch to get.

    The poster states both nights dates and there were 1000 of them sold last night. 5 merch tables each selling 200 bracelettes, confirmed.

    I bought a poster after 10pm and he said there were 3 left. Easy as pie getting a poster. My easiest experience by far ever (since 1994).

    they had vedder posters too at the show for sale? hoping now there's a few camden posters available at the nyc tables. would love to pick one of those up. last night's poster is sweet! :)
  • dangerboydangerboy Posts: 1,569
    there will probably be a color variation for tonight, hence a different poster


    and ninersfan, as it has been proven, is multiple people, so ninersfan might have 20 wrists. 20 skinny wrists that wristbands applied by nervous local merch workers can easily be slipped off of, then slipped back on later to pick up another poster. the fact that the wristband method seems to keep most people honest doesn't mean that those with a more, shall we say, entrepreneureal view will stay honest.

    like they say: locks are to keep honest people honest

    i think you read that wrong. i think he said there were a similar number of posters at the ed solo show, not that there were ed solo posters last night

    no apol necessary. sometimes the brain jumps ahead of the eyes. physiological mishap, inherent to the species. can't blame a cat for being a cat, can you?


    plus, i'd hate to see you get your hopes up only to be disappointed later

    no worries man. i'm pretty hyped up the past few day's. been shopping, getting things ready for the trip to the east coast of usa. seeing pj nyc1 straight to boston2. first time experience traveling on my own. little worried, but i'm hoping things will go well.

    for posters, i'm all set with the ames bro's sub. :) for camden's & venice beach prints, will try to purchase those from brad's website or from 10club.

    What is the bracelet thing with the posters?
  • GangstacroGangstacro Posts: 104
    The bracelet idea is new this year. You pay for your poster and they give you a wrist bracelet that you wear and then you come back after the show to get your poster. It helps keep the posters to 1 per person and also makes it so you don't have to hold it during the show.

    Great idea in my book.

    I think they printed more.... and the craze has died somewhat... I bought one at Va Beach at 10 p.m.... during first set break.

    I did notice quite a few people running around with two or three wristbands afterward.... Still plenty to go around.

    same here. ya don't have to worry about people pushing & shoving. and worrying about the poster behind your chair or in front of your knees at the show. we can all enjoy the show a notch up and go .. crazier then ever. :)
