MSG I Poster

I was there at roughly 6:30, a few mins before, and there were no more posters for sale.

I asked one of the merch booth guys upstairs to see if they even had posters to sell, and he said they only had 460 or so for the whole show, and they were all sold down stairs.

Not sure what poster you were buying after 7pm at 3 or 4 at a time, and that you saw 1500 plus of them??? Was it the Ames Bros. poster,or the regular tour poster??

people like that thing? we were laughing at it its so hideous. I wouldnt put that thing in an outhouse. ames bros. needs to just stop making posters. good lord. awful. I should thank them for giving me more drining time i suppose

Personally, I love the poster. This is a perfect example of how art is totally subjective.

Gotta say - I am on the fence about this one - I agree if this was the Columbia poster, it may very well not be held in the high regard many appear to be holding it. Actually, I much prefer the Columbia poster to this one. That said, for the first time I regret not picking up a sub. I think the work this tour has been really diverse and interesting (save and except WPB, sorry I really don't like that print).

We think it has some Disney quality to it. Definitely something a little different than the most recent posters. I like it. Wonder if it will be the same tonight with different colors, or ......???

I used to buy all the posters I could, had them framed & put them around my house. I had 6 of them. One day I looked at them again & said, "these things are god awful ugly."
So I sold them. This one would definitely be in that category.

I didnt even buy a poster..I didnt like it, but I stood around with friends thinking about it for a while. But yea at least 600-700 posters on the right as soon as u walked in..around 6pm all of a sudden the merch stand on the left which wasnt selling posters now also had another HUGE stack...and the other reason I decided against it was seeing that there were so many I figured I can get one whenevre...MASS PRODUCED like a muthafucka..obviously people werent looking hard enough or are gullible enough to believe the scammers..I mean the merch stand guys..233...pfft yea ok :rolleyes: try 1233...guaranteed

Lines up at stand 1 @ 5:15 and it was sold out. Got in the other line and got 1 of the last few wristbands @ 5:30. Judging by the fast sellout rate and people in line at the end of the show - theres no way there were more than a few hundred. Ames usually has a smaller run then Klausen.

As for the poster- Tons of color- prety impressive and has "the happening" theme going on. i had a kid offer me $200 on the spot for the poster and I declined. I also bought the ames sub and am glad I did.

Also- limited supply + msg + incredible show +dvd = high demand for the poster

lmao...yea tell that to my buddy here who just popped 3 of them babies in his poster tube


question
when you all went to the merch stands did you NOT look behind to see the stacks??? right in the table there were stacks of hundreds arranged in lots of like a hundred in each lot, stacked in a cross shape each lot on top of each other...we saw that at 5..left came back an hour later and my boy got 3 wristbands..so I dont know wht to tell you guys..just saying what I saw n experienced

A guy right in front of me bought 5 posters. Not 5 wristbands. 5 actual posters. He rolled them up, put em in a tube and headed out. I'm sure that totally fucked up the wrist band count for later in the night. One merch guy at stand A wasn't even putting the wrist bands on, he'd just give them to you. A guy behind me walked up asked for 4 wrist bands and he got them. They didn't seem to give a crap and just wanted to disperse the massive crowd that had gathered.

There HAD to be way more than 460 posters. There were EASILY 500 on each side (merch A & and were stacked cross hatched.

at Camden some dude asked for 2 wristbands and the merch guy was like OK, then after some grumbling from other people in the line he said "where is the other person for the wristband"...Dude had somebody else in line with him and gave it to them, The guy was actually going to give out 2 wristbands until people started bitching.....it happens, what are you going to do. All in all, I think the wristband thing was a good idea...peace

That`s funny, I was probably at a different stand in Camden, but some guy tried to buy 2 (one for the GF) and the merch guy refused until he pulled his GF through the mob up to the table. All in all, I thought the system worked quite well in Camden and DC, I was very impressed. Not sure why MSG appears to have been such a cock-up, but then I hear 2003 didn`t go all that great either. Must be an MSG thing.
