    There was basically nobody there to pick up tickets. Why not let people with tickets go to a merch booth first and then throw the rest out for everybody?

    Got in merch line at 11:30. Waited 3 hrs in scorching heat. The posters and baseball cards are rad as hell though. I can't believe I'm saying this but they are worth it.

    Key info: they sell out of posters after about 1.5 hrs and replenish every 2 hrs. A poster derivative line forms after regular merch purchase as they wait for more posters to come in. Again, every two hours or so.

    Line was easily 500 deep per stand.

    Are we talking about a rock and roll show or a Chuck E. Cheese? Are you people using your skee-ball tickets to get your wristbands, stickers and playing cards?

    Good lord people.....Be more materialistic.

    100% agree and support!!!
    I believe this would be an awesome thing to do on the 10C's part...
    Simply for the fact it gives me usually 1 - 2 hours extra "pre-party" time :wink:

    well if the were replenishing anything they sure as hell were not announcing it, or telling us after they were all gone and we got into line with no options.

    use to make it mandatory to get me a poster from every show I attended. Then got tired of lugging that shit around. Sure it's just a tube, but I didn't like having to carry it the entire show. Heard stories of people sitting tube in their chair, only to turn around and see it gone. Therefore, placing the tube down was never an option for me.

    Waited 2 hours in Missoula, only to be told "ALL POSTERS are now gone!" right as I was about to get to the front. Realized I could have used those 2 hours to throw back some beers and take it all in. Wasted 2 hours, and I GOT SHIT. I will never waste time in line again. Would rather use that time to drink and enjoy it all.

    5.5 hours in line today.

    EMEK prints sold out 5 people in front of me, but was able to get the Shuss Cracker Jack.

    I never want to see another merch stand or a fucking que/line, for that matter.

    This whole merch thing just seems a bit overdone. Are you guys there for the music or the knick-knacks? I mean, what the hell does a grown up need PJ wristbands for??

    Chicago is such a great city and you guys are waiting in line all day.

    I did make it to sky deck in Willis Tower and now I'm about to eat at Giordano's! So the day wasn't a total lost...oh did I mention I got some posters. :lol:

    I know it sucks to stand in a slow moving line when you have so much anticipation. Some of the best memories I have from my epic shows (PJ20 and Missoula) are the people I met an dc BSed with while standing in the rainy and hot lines. Other PJ fans make it worthwhile beforehand. PJ makes it worthwhile after that.

    Just imagine if they didn't offer up any PJ merchandise Wednesday & Thursday. And only merch was sold, the day of the show like every other PJ show? DAMN!

    Think any of these PJ items will be sold @ the 10club store?
    Especially the Box Set?
