Gig Poster Cloakroom Idea

edited May 2009 in The Porch
I have a poster for the 3 pearl jam gigs i've been to, but only one was purchased at the gig...Wembley 07..thats because i had seated tickets so i could take care of my poster

i think (unless it exists and im being blind) there should be some kind of poster save/cloakroom service for poster for fans...where you pay a few more pennies, take a numbered ticket and come and pick it up after the show

I really want to get a poster again at manchester in august but not if its gonna get battered to death while im enjoying the show

Its maybe a daft idea cos i know the merchandisers generally pack up after the show starts but i can only be creative and dream :)

    In Adelaide (Australia) during the 2006 tour, we had a merch room, where you would be provided with a plastic bag if you wanted to wrap the poster up, slap an elastic band around it and put it in the merch room. You get your ticket with the number etc, and there were no problems.
    Stars walk the red carpet because they're famous - I walk the toilet paper because im the shit.

    They confiscated them on the last Oz tour. Something about projectile weapons?! I'm bringing it to protect my posters, why would i throw it away?

    They use a wristband system now, you dont really need to bring a tube anymore. You get a wristband at the merch stand when you buy the poster and you get it at the end of the show.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Will they be using this system on the coming European tour?
