For those of you who have attended a show, how early should I arrive tomorrow if I want to get a poster?

Thanks. :)

    Posters were still at the SB show last night a good 45 minutes after the doors opened.

    hey! yes--there was a large stack of posters behind the counter for awhile. zippos, on the other hand, were not--but we were told that they would be online soon.

    How are you doing? I'm already at the Ramada. Thanks for hooking us up. Though I'm a little buzzed from playing pool all night in Hollywood with two of my best friends from college.

    I was really surprised how many posters were still left when I left the bar area at SB last night and decided to buy a hat. There was at least a 1/3 of the original stack still there that late after the doors opened.

    In Vancouver, they sold out. I'm not quite sure when, but it was before the intermission. :) That's when I heard a lot of unhappy people! lol

    What poster did they have in SB?

    It was the blue one in SB.

    I think maybe a lot of the same people are getting the poster at each show and going to multiple shows, so it should be relatively easy to get them at these last few? Just a theory.

    I didn't have a hard time getting one in SB.

    Yeah I think they're stocking up for the last few shows. Dunno

    I straggled in to SC and got the last one, the display one (oooh, the "rare" Display Poster, tape on the back corners!) But the line had gone in, through merch, and we stumbled in about 10-15 after the doors opened -- beeline, poster, short line, done. BLUE!

    B1 they sold out sunset in about 25-30 minutes.

    Then, B2, I walked out after Liam and there's a HUGE stack of BLUE still.
    "You STILL have posters?"
    "We just got an extra shipment..."

    I don't know if you wanna count on that or not in SD and LA, prolly best to get in line as doors open. The BLUE one is totally worth it!

    Vancouver night I sold out before Liam took the stage... I got mine as soon as I got in and then went for a drink with my hubby and then decided I would get a lighter got the lighter and the guy in front of me took the poster that was the display, they lasted probably 30 minutes after doors opened.. somin' like that.

    I think they are not selling out that fast because they are not exclusive to the show.

    Vancouver 1 and 2 were so different. The 10c night people there was a long line to just get in before the doors opened and the chaos at the merch booth. Second night -no line - got in went to the merch booth and was shocked I just walk up and buy whatever I wanted.

    I got there about 6:45-7 and had no problem getting posters both nights in Vancouver. It was pretty crowded on night 1 - didnt even see the other merch on display like the zippos.

    p.s. Liam Finn started promptly at 7:30 both Vancouver 1&2... well worth it to catch his set!
