i don't care if the dates are announced staggered two cities at a time for the next month, i don't care how much the tickets cost... i only ask that the poster wristband policy be kept. last year was awesome... even msg ha. i just went to 4 dead shows and remember how much of a pain in the ass it is to lug a poster or two around each night.

please, powers that be, keep the wristbands for the posters!

    you dont have to carry it around all night, damaging it, and having it stoled off your seat.

    sorry man I only have a spare Houston.

    Was going to try and get an extra emek, bc at the first show
    all they had was the emek and two holographic ones, so I bought all 3

    then MSG and the spectrum had show specific posters and then
    the houston. I had no clue I was going to have to buy 6!!

    no they were not doing it, started only last year (at seated shows where you can just shove it beneath you seat!)

    the wristband solution was perfect, enjoy the concert without worrying about damaging your poster and pick it up after the show!

    there's only 1 potential problem with wristbands in Europe (though we need them more because of GA):
    most people get to the venue by public transport, which often closes not that long after the end of the show so we have to hurry out or you get stuck, especially if you have a connection to make (Wembley in 07, we hang around for maybe 1/2 hour and almost missed the last train.. I got stuck in the middle of Prague having missed the last connection and had to get a taxi back..same in Milan)...and all but the Manchester show this year are at venues quite away from the centre (so more likely to need a connection).

    The queues were not too bad at the 08 shows, but they better have more people distributing if they do it.
