Dear 10C, a simple suggestion

edited July 2013 in The Porch
If the amount of posters were disclosed, people would not flock to ebay and buy them, wait in line 4+ hours to find them sold out, etc... The line in Missoula was INSANE to get a poster outside, before the show... my buddies and I decided to walk to a bar and chill instead of being uncomfortable waiting in line all day, before a long kick ass high energy show... we made the right decision, as the posters have been sitting on your site for sale for months now... AWESOME!!!!
Why not let people know how many Wrigley posters were made, that there will be plenty for sale to Ten Club members online... I understand you want them to sell out at the shows, that's cool, how about a friendly email/santos post to let people know the situation a few days later...
Just a suggestion, as someone who buys a LOT of posters, but rarely at inflated eBay prices.

    Yeah waiting in 100+ degree heat for 4hrs is fucked - our choice though.

    Just sell them online to 10c ticket holders prior to the show?

    A poster pre-sale would solve a lot of these problems.

    Please sign the petition to bring it back!

    Actually, why not just tick a box when you order your tickets.

    1 Ticket Pair Only
    2 Ticket & Poster
    3 Ticket & T-shirt (size)
    4 Ticket, Poster & T-shirt (size)

    This way we can pre-order all at the same time and have them shipped direct rather than having to line up and try to keep them safe during the gig. It would also ensure that people going to the event don't miss out and fall victim to flippers. It would allow the 10 Club to pre order a number of posters with the rest sold at the gig and any remainders offered from the 10 Club site. They could even offer certain specials for the preordered posters (signed by band/artist, or a couple of stickers through in etc). Everyone has a win.

    Brilliant idea....and if they need to limit the numbers, make it available only to analog level members....It wouldn't limit the "collectability" of the merchandise at all.

    Plus I can enjoy the show more without having to carry the poster/shirt/program around. I check the boxes, pay up front and receive in the mail a few days after the show. I'll even pay $8 for the shipping in order to enjoy the convenience. Hey, make the bootleg for my show an option as well.

    People are crazy to wait in line that long TO BUY STUFF. I read about the wait times on weds and Thurs here and gave up hope of getting a poster or anything good. I ended up getting one of the last pennants outside (I think) and some cards and stickers (seemed like they had endless supply of those) and lucked out and my friend waited in line AGAIN in a mob at the front merch stand when we went in around 6:15... Got me the navy wrigley shirt ($100 on eBay?!) and an alien poster. The only poster I really liked was cracker jacks and it looks like everyone else agrees. I'm glad I got some stuff but man, it's crazy to think people invested their entire vacation waiting in line for pretty much the same stuff we got over the span of an hour.

    Wait a year, the prices will come down and you can get the poster you want. Seems very few posters go UP in price these days after the crazies the days right after the show except donkey kong. I guess cracker jack might be one of those but I don't know... They must have printed so many of all four for this show, compared to a regular show, I just don't think wrigleyposters are gonna be going for $400 a pop in 2016 or anything...

    It would be if that's per ticket. If someone has a pair, there are two ticket holders, so 2 of everything would need to be available per pair or else half the 10c ticket holders would be without merch.

    Makes too much sense, so it wouldn't fly here.

    Helluva lot more would be sold on impulse when ordering tickets rather than waiting in line, even if the design hasnt been disclosed. Kind of like a mystery sale.

    Problem I guess is that they have several different t-shirt designs at the shows.
