I wonder if you have to take a wristband, or can you just take the poster with you.

Having to get there early to wait to get in line to get a poster and then wait in line after the show makes for a long ass night...If I have a choice, I would rather take the poster when I buy it rather than wait.

just my opinion

    The option to take the poster at time of purchase was not given tonight in WPB. You had to buy a wrist band and then return after the show to the same merch booth of purchase and claim your poster. There is a poster only line though so at least you don't have to wait through peopleing trying on shirts and stuff agian.

    how hard was it to get a poster? did you have to be inside as soon as the doors opened to even sniff them?

    I seriously pray that this doesn't cause an issue with public transportation at Camden. We usually have to haul ass to get to the train (Riverline) after shows. I don't know if it's going to wait for all of us crazy poster folk...Eek!

    there were still posters at close to 7pm.

    and, it was wristband only; you couldn't take the poster with you.
    you had to pick it up after the show.

    It's cool that they're trying a different approach. I think it's about as fair as you can get as far as posters are concerned. I used to collect them, but gave up in '06 due to the mass interest! I'm just not that bothered, I guess.

    well, i see this helping enforce the 1 per person issue from past tours. My brother who is going with me on the 20th complains that I drag him early to get a poster, waiting in line after is going to make him wine more...glad to see them trying this though.

    That would be my guess as to why they are doing it.

    how bad was the line to get the poster after the show?
    did they sell/come with tubes?

    this sounds like a tremendous idea....

    hoe long before people start to frame their posters, ticket stubs, set lists (if lucky) and now their band together?

    I think it is a great idea, and it can't take long to walk back up- show your band and get the poster after the show can it?

    Can someone clarify:
    Were they taking the wristbands back (like, cutting them off) when you claimed your poster? And was it those cheap paper wristbands?

    THAT is awesome!
    what a way to keep it at one per person! plus, don't have to worry about your poster getting crushed.....love it! hope this helps spread em around to FANS. also makes me hopeful for the supposedly 'tough shows' to score a poster.


    i LOVE how 10c listens, really hears us and uses new ideas for the benefit of all! yay!

    The waiting might suck but I would rather do this than have my poster be squished/damaged and have to worry about it during the show.
