Complete bullshit at the merch stand last night. I waited in line for about 30 mins to get the blue Pj shirt (the sports/phillies shirt). A lady about 5 ft in front of me ended up cleaning them out and walked away with - I shit you not - about 15 of the shirts. I was livid b/c she had every intention of selling them on ebay. The kid in front of me was also on his phone texting with his commrades about how to get as many shirts as possible and I didnt get a chance to read every text...but the word ebay appeared on his phone at least twice.
So pissed ! Way to ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah, and this guy actually posted them on Ebay while sitting in the venue!

Look at all his PJ stuff and the prices he tries to get...a real c*ck
I sent him a message via Ebay asking why he was asking so much $$$ for every single Pearl Jam item and he had me blocked from bidding on any of his stuff...he didn't even respond to my question...pretty funny! :?
I think Jack must be short for Jackass...but that kinda goes without saying for anyone who takes the name of a fucking Kiefer Sutherland character!
Sheesh.

When you order a pair of 10c tickets you should have the option of checking a box to also purchase the limited poster and (if available) the unique per-venue shirt. Limit it to 1 per pair of tickets if you want....and you have to order them sight unseen (like the poster presale this tour). Doing it separately (like the poster presale this tour) doesnt make much sense since then people who dont go to the show can buy posters just for resale.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
they did do that with the posters for this tour, if you bought a ticket to that show you could preorder the poster for it. i did this once and i got the poster a month or so after the show, plus $7 shipping. the posters really aren't a problem anymore because it seems like they are printing more. i remember in '03 and later tours you had to get there early or there was a good chance the posters would be sold out, now they have previous nights posters on sale at the shows. they used to allow only 1 poster per person but that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore as they had all 4 posters on sale last night and each night i was there i saw at least 1 person buy multiple posters.
buying up all those shirts like that is really a dick thing to do. i didn't buy 1 but when i was looking i heard a lot of people going to different booths asking for certain sizes that were sold out.
i even saw a guy trying to sell the ballons after the show!
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
That is a sick idea!!!! I would like to see the t-shirt though.
I can't believe the nerve some people have by selling this stuff on eBay. I really wish something could be done because its just as bad as ticket scalpers.
I can understand people getting stuff for their friends, but this kind of thing (buying with the intent to resell on ebay) is total bullshit. One of the things i like about PJ and the ten club is the spirit of community; this kind of conduct is totally at odds with that spirit.

I'm sure it's not people in the ten club doing this.
But I agree. I went to buy one last night and they were sold out, and it was almost a foregone conclusion that there would be more available to purchase from somewhere. Unfortunately it seems my only venue is to find one on ebay that isn't in triple figures :(
after the hoarding of shirts at la1 & 2, there was a 2 shirt limit for la 3 & 4 and san diego...apparently, this rule didn't make it east
Sorry bro, I agree...that is a cock move to make...there should be a limit per person, makes me wonder why they don't do it already...

That's a shame...it really should've. It's unfair for the fans that just want one shirt for their own sentiment....fucking money hungry fucks...

I know people want the shirts and cant them now, but dont buy from the shirt scalpers , they lose money , they stop doing it.
"yes officer...all i saw was an Air Jordan logo....then when i came to, i was in a dumpster and all my posters and t-shirts were gone!"
This makes me almost as mad as the 10C member selling his/her pair of tickets on craigslist yesterday to the highest bidder. I left a message to call me. Lucky (for them) they didn't call me cause I was going to let them have it. :evil:

What a show!!!
So i arrived in LA, went straight to the gig from the airport and waited in line before the gates opened. I was probably somewhere around 40-50 in line and confident that i was going to have no problem getting a shirt. I was absolutely disgusted at the behaviour of some of the people in front of me in the line. I saw at least 4 different people walk away with more then 10 shirts each, one guy (who claimed to be a 10c member after i confronted him about it when he was walking away) bought 3 of each size. there were plenty of others with between 2 and 5 as well. By the time i got to the front of the line, there were none left. So i joined the queue to get inside which by then was longer than the original line and the same thing happened inside.
Im over it now, but to say i was angry at the time was an understatement. It took me at least an hour and quite a few drinks for me to get over it (childish on my behalf i know, but i was very pissed off). Not only am i shocked by the arrogance of some people but im also very surprised that 10c would let something like this happen. I cant understand how they wouldnt have put a per person limit on limited edition items like this. And these vermin that go out and buy these to sell on ebay are no doubt the same scum that are scalping tickets through the same medium at stupidly ridiculous prices. I F******G hate them. But what disappointed me the most is that there were so many people standing in line complaining quietly to their mates about it, but not one person had the balls to actually stand up to these scumbags and say something.
Sorry for the overly long rant but i felt the need to share my story. And by the way, it was one of the most memorable gigs of my life. The crowd was slightly disappointing and i missed out on a t-shirt, but i got see my favourite band play in their home country in one of the best venues (Gibson Amphitheatre) that i have ever had the pleasure of attending, and they played an awesome set, including 3 of my favourite songs, one of which i had never heard played live before (rats).
And on a final note, i have never bought any tickets or memorabilia off ebay and i never intend to. But after seeing how disappointed i was about missing out on one of those t-shirts, my girlfriend bought one off ebay without my knowledge and 3 weeks after i got home, i arrived home from work to see one large PJ LA 30 T-shirts sitting on the dining table waiting for me. I really do love her, she looks after me. But i hate those assholes that scalp items on ebay, they are the lowest form scum to walk the earth.
sorry to all who got shut out, the hoarders really are shitty folks
