Pendleton is pretty predictable.

Exactly. I'm not a big fan of his work.

While I long for a better solution than the merch trucks, I think this general online merch sale will show that just putting it online for all is an even worse plan in terms of selling merch for normal shows.

When you do this, you're letting everyone (including those not at the show) a chance to buy limited show merchandise. I expect alot of people buying NOLA stickers, pins etc for the sole purpose of trading for others.

Atleast with the Merch trucks, they have to BE THERE to get them.

My idea is an online sale for show specific items, and members who won 10c tickets are sent a member specific code that they can enter to buy the stuff 24 hours before it goes on sale to the public (limited to 1 poster, 1 sticker, 1 button, 1 shirt). Then if anything additional is wanted, they can wait the day of the show, but atleast this way, the people who won tickets get one of each.

.......... 'why not let everyone have a chance to buy show-specific merchandise? I have a few concert posters and I don't give a hoot what the print run is, or how limited it is; I either like something or I don't. If someone's purchase decisions rest primarily on how limited a piece of rock concert merchandise is than I'd suggest they need to evaluate their 'green disease'

Have a nice day

With concert posts, usually the run is around 1200, give or take. Why the band doesn't do this for the club members who won GA or reserved tickets for shows, who knows? They should do this for all shows, not just New Orleans.

They probably wouldn't sell much more stickers, badges and posters than they do now. If they increased the run of each of them, the collectors/flippers would back off and there would be a lot of leftover merch.

The artists don't want unlimited print runs. They want their prints to be in demand and they also want to be able to sell the higher priced AP editions on their own site.

I think Pendleton sucks. I think a decent amount of people would agree with me. A part of creativity is evolving. Pendleton doesn't evolve. Peel back a layer or two and it's the same shit he always does. To each his own though. Like, when I see a poster posted on social media and there is no name to the art; I can tell when a poster was done by Don. Any other poster I take an educated/random guess and I'm usually wrong.

PJlive · April 2016

Why not just if you buy 10c tickets you automatically get a poster... Problem Solved

I actually liked the pirate but when there are great artists out there doing really amazing stuff I can't understand using him multiple times in a tour. I'm confused as to why they don't use Todd Slater more. Nobody is doing better work right now.

I didn't mind the pirate either, but his posters are too similar to one another in general. I'll still buy if it's a show that I'm at, but you better believe it will be last on my framing priorities.

Where's the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when you need it?

Solid poster. I like the theme. It's exactly what you'd see during mardis gras.

That's probably why I don't dig it. Very cliche.

Guessing all will go up @ 1pm EST tomorrow?

The poster looks clean and definitely fits for the New Orleans show.

Agreed, the 1st poster from Don I actually really dig. Really well done.

Merkin Baller · April 2016

I get the dislike for the 2013 Pendleton Brooklyn posters, and some of his other work.

I really liked the GCF Pendlteon from September though. I have that framed in my living room (my buddy & I had a blast at the show so that helps, but I really like how he did the NYC skyline on the river, it was easily my favorite of the 4 GCF posters, and one of my all time favorites for shows I've been to - again, maybe it's the sentimentality talking).

I also like his '14 Denver t shirt & wear it with pride.

I like this NO poster & if I were at this show, I would be all over this sale on Monday. Good luck to those going for it.

No one should buy a poster or sticker tomorrow. They're both very ugly.
