    Okay, let's step back a minute. The band has three merch locations available for 5 days, plus merch inside the venue. They are providing ample opportunity to get merch. If there are 3 hour lines all day with this many options to buy merch than it is what it is.

    Agree. What other band/artist would do all this? What else could you possibly want

    In looking at the merch schedule on the homepage now the Monday 8/8 set list t shirts released on this day is intriguing....

    Yeah, I bet they'll have the Friday show setlist shirts available on Saturday.

    This is great of them, but it also depends how many people they have staffing these things. If it's 2-3 then the lines will get overwhelming quick like most shows. Hopefully these things are properly staffed.

    if I'm lucky to get there at the right time to buy some stuff...cool

    but I aint waiting in any unreasonable lines...FUCK THAT

    Its about having a nice meal, some drinks and good company

    But I agree there should be an option to buy merch prior site unseen....

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    mrtsurt - @dottles_lm there are two reasons for the arrow line directions. 1) Safety. This is the most important thing. Running the lines these directions achieve that. 2) Running the lines in a specific way helps avoid affecting surrounding businesses. We should respect all of the surrounding companies.

    Chris Siglin was responding to a comment I made to him about the rabid nature of PJ fans now in their quest for merch. I said I thought it was sad that they had even had to devise queuing routes and advise that there were times people could not queue before, despite the merch stands not opening until midday.
    I can't remember the thirst for merch being as bad as it is now, and I am not sure it is so bad here in Europe.
    I recognise people see it as an opportunity to flip stuff, but I genuinely think that a lot of the general public have no idea PJ are still together let alone how much a pair of flip flops are worth on eBay.
    I do like the idea of having a merch booth associated with 10C ticket pick up - you get your tickets and then are allowed into a queue for merch. I recognise that many people who missed out on 10C tickets might feel that sting, however, it would reduce the number of people at other stands.
    I'm not sure there is any easy way to resolve the situation. If the band add in additional time for people to buy merch there are concerns that flippers will buy before fans arriving for the show, if they sell it only in the venues then there are concerns that causes issues inside, if they do a 10c linked ticket purchase it could be seen as benefiting the few.
    Imagine shows where they sold no merch - that would be a revelation!

    There must have been 20,000 lining up a day for wrigley stuff. Then they did it for 3 days straight...

    From what I saw the merch thirst is nowhere NEAR as bad in Europe as it is here. Same with Australia and New Zealand. It's beyond insane here. The only solution I can think of is for them to print more of everything, substantially more. Flood the market with readily available official merch, reduces the resale/aftermarket value, in short order the flippers will cease flipping as their profits dwindle. It puts PJ in an uncomfortable spot though, because they will have to put up more capital upfront to print in larger quantities, and then they're stuck with whatever doesn't sell.
