I know for sure that the last time Pearl Jam played at Alpine the Ten Club tickets were handed out in a little building off to the side of the main ticket windows and they were selling posters before you went into the venue so you could bring them back to your car. I would prefer a presale, but I think they can handle this other ways also so that we don't have to carry with us all day.

It would surly make our day much easier.

I'd prefer not to slow that line down any more.

Seriously.

It's at times slow enough when the entire transaction consists of customer handing employee a license, employee finding tickets, employee handing license/envelope to customer, customer signing envelope, employee handing tickets to customer. Now you want to add this exchange:
"Would you like to buy a poster?"
"What?"
"A poster. Would you like to buy the poster for tonight's show?"
"What does it look like?"
Employee points to poster hanging behind them. Customer squints and tries to look through marked up plexiglass.
"How much?"
"$30"
Customer turns around and looks for their husband/wife/whatever in the crowd and yells to them about buying a poster. Husband/wife/whatever can't hear over the din of the crowd so they wade through the line to join them.
"Should we get a poster?"
"What do they look like?"
More pointing and squinting and looking through the plexiglass.
"I don't know. I guess. If you want to. Can't we just get one inside?"
"Okay"
"No thanks."

That's why you just enclose a poster voucher with the Ten Club tickets, regardless. It's all in the envelope. Every member is guaranteed a poster and if they don't want it, give it to someone else or just toss it.

If you drive, it would make your day much easier. For those who take shuttles, especially from campgrounds, it still might be a challenge. Having a presale like in 09 would be the best.

It's true that putting the posters up for sale at the 10c window would increase your chances of securing one and allow you to go store it somewhere before entering the venue. Also, I would expect that the 10c window staff would enforce the limit of one per person.

Overall, this sounds to be a pretty good alternative to the current method. One potential negative I forsee is needing to lineup extra early at the window to ensure you get a chance at one. Other than the added shipping and loss of the "experience" or "thrill of the hunt", I still prefer the presale option that we had for the 2009 tour. Please bring this back for future tours.

Could that be an added privilege for being "Analog"?

Dumb Question...and I'm just asking because I don't know!!
Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere, but I'm just kinda curious.
Everyone keeps talking about the "1 Poster Limit"!!
How would one know what the limit for merchandise is?
I don't recall seeing any signage (I know there were none at Detroit on Sunday) at the merch booths that says there were any kind of limits placed on any of the items for sale.
Is this just an unwritten rule that you can only buy 1 poster?
Are there different limits for Eddie Solo & Pearl Jam shows?
Are they limited only in the large markets, because I don't remember seeing any limits at the Columbus PJ Show last year, but if you SAW the poster from Columbus (they still have these available in GOODS) last year, I don't think you'd want more than one of these anyway!!

If I ask someone on the boards, well in advance, to pick me up a poster at an upcoming show, is this frowned upon?
Just wondering where to find out this info. :ugeek:
