    STOP! STOP IT!

    To use a metaphor "share the doll"…

    Seriously, please be kind to each other and enough.

    Let's have some positive input like there has been.

    There has been so many good points on this thread and don't want to see it shut down.

    I do know that 10C kind of let's each other police ourselves on certain occasions, as the previous Pop ups and they expect us, I would think, to have a higher standard.

    Crazy talk?

    Not at all. Be kind. Make points. Discuss. Have differing opinions. Be respectful. Don't be nasty.

    How many people are financing tours doing shit like this? 50 stickers on ebay at an easy 10 to 12 dollars a pop. Nothing to ship.

    bingo.
    someone in this thread was doing this...

    Not crazy talk, but it does seem more and more like the fans aren't doing such a good job of policing themselves - sad but true. I mean, it is a minority that does things to kind of screw others over, but enough to really shake things up for everyone. I just don't like seeing a small number of people's actions negatively affecting the whole. When that is going on, I feel like something should be done to stop it, and only 10c is in a position to do that. I know we're just talking about merch here and not anything that really matters, but the small pleasures in life mean something too, and it sucks to see that those pleasures are being taken from people because greed or selfishness. It's really the principle of it rather than the actual results. Hell, i don't even collect stickers. But this bugs me.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    My buddy did go to both Cincy and St. Louis more than 3 hours early, and stickers were sold out before he got to the front. And he saw people buying over 50 stickers and taking orders for the GA line. Kind of a bummer -- particularly in SLU where it was cold and raining

    The truck opened at 2:00 p.m. We got in line at noon. Half-hour later, merch in vehicle, getting lunch
    very similar situation for me. in line by 1145, got merch and picked up 10c tickets by 315. merch truck was much, much later opening that the merch tents in Cincinnati. which sucked because of the cold ass rain... i got what i needed, helped my bros out, and made friends in line who saw what i bought, no issues. i get why people are pissed off. but that's why we make friends here... if you know you can't make it to get your shit, make other plans. the name calling and labels being tossed around here, are more childish than adults collecting *children's toys*
    I have an issue with having to get somebody to get me stuff because I can't get to a venue at 11am for an 8:15 concert. The problem is clearly hoarding and people buying too much for themselves and trades, rather than arrival time.
    why do you have an issue with asking a friend for a favor?

    I think he meant he had an issue with having it be one of the only ways to make sure he got them, not the actual act of having to ask someone for a favor. That's how I interpreted it.

    I have a problem with having to ask for a favor because I can't get to a concert nine hours early. I can understand if I am not going to the show at all. When arriving at 4:00pm the day of show isn't early enough to get a sticker there is a problem. I don't think we have had shows like Cinci or St Louis where you couldn't get stickers inside the venue.

    Seems like a Midwestern thing. Acl stuff all still available. Dallas and okc stuff I bought right before showtime last year.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Pretty soon sticker to = Benny??? WTF. It's a sticker. Big deal. Just download or have someone send you a picture of it, print it out on some kind of sticker paper (or glue it or use double sided tape), put it wherever you want.

    Better stop my son from hoarding all the stickers in preschool. I think that's where all of it starts...
    Those teachers have too much supply, and those kids always with demand for stickers.

    No, but thank you if offering. Already traded for Cinci and luckily got one from St. Louis from a friend who knows I like stickers.

    No, it is just festivals aren't the popular shows that a ton travel for. If you can only go to a few shows you wi pick the 34 song set list over the one with 27.

    It isn't a coincidence that the festival stickers are most in demand because there aren't as many hardcore PJ fans there to buy them and trade/sell.

    Thanks to people like ss9981 and bootlegger. Without these types of forum mates I would not get the item that appeals to me. They save me spending a shit load on ebay to those 2 sellers that just seem to have ample stickers and buttons from every show from every tour. Sometimes because of where I live I have to resort to eBay. Massive difference for buying many to help forum members out versus the ones who buy to fund trips and when they have 50 listed on eBay at one time still have no compassion. My views. Later

    Okc and Dallas were both sold out. No problem getting stickers at either. Or posters. Or shirts.

    Show stickers were new in 2013. More people have caught on. That is my opinion at least. I don't think it is a city specific issue as I would bet most people that are buying stickers at 1pm at a booth are from out of town and the people in town are still at work.

    +1
    People have now realized that there is money to be made purchasing stickers in bulk and that the rabid PJ fan base will pay a premium for stickers.
