Pearl Jam 2016 tour merch

I think I nearly feel sick of this merch stuff after spending the last hour on eBay.

The same sellers repeatedly - 5-10 of the same items. 6 x cost, 7 x, fark it, let's push 10 x or even 12 x cost.
When will this stop....many of us want merch. Most of us, well speaking for myself, acknowledge any help by buying mates stuff for their time and effort.
There is no bargain on ebay for Boston. It's out of control.
I speak for myself when I say I give back to the person that helps, and if really struggling for an item I want I would go pay on ebay within reason. By why is this stuff immediately 10xcost value the day of purchase? It has not even aged, been stored and is now rare.

Yes, its a whinge and if I don't like it just don't buy, blah blah. But I do like to have some PJ stuff. I do like to support our fave band. But I am not supporting them, I am supporting these flippers. I would rather pay double on 10C so PJ that deserve it get more.

Read threads x, y, z for similar thoughts from people. I know it's everywhere these sentiments. But I had to vent. Done...moving on

most of this stuff IMO will be much cheaper if you guys are just patient. We haven't even had a show yet. The market will be flooded with stuff from this week I would think. Be patient, stop paying 400% on ebay and take a breathe...it's just stuff. It will be there sooner or later

Yes dave. Understand your thoughts. And u will be proven right

This is so true

If we could all collectively rebel. The flippers who bought 10 plus copies will panic. Imagine we all held back. Them we start to control price setting again

So .. how's the crowds this morning? Yeah yeah no lineup before 8am. But close by, how are things?

So how or what is the line situation?

Friend on the ground said he got there at 8:00 EST and there were 20 people lined up.

I thought it'd be funny if everyone on here were to find the guy on eBay that was asking 300 obo and we all offered $35

He'd be flooded with hundreds of offers.... Lol

We should. Let them get some doubts. Price set. Or simply flood with offers. Yeah stuff this 700 buy now shit for items that cost 112. Fark it

Just walked in line at 8:30am. I got number 48 written on my hand!

What is with this marker shit? Can you walk around and go for breakfast or do you have to stay in line?

They have anything besides what was sent out via the website or does it match up exactly?

If anyone can confirm that it's legit to get marked with a number and then leave, please let us know!

Yesterday the number didn't really mean anything. No one left except to go to the bathroom and no one ever checked numbers or anything. It seemed sort of pointless.
