The setlist shirts seemed to go quicker than the others but not sure if they sold out completely. Didn't care for the fact that Night 1 was a white shirt, but since Night 2 was black, I had a friend who works in the area grab one for me when they went on sale the next day. Texted her to see if she could pop over there and 45 min later she texted back a pic of the shirt. No lines, no waiting.
There were *numerous* merch spots in and outside of the park. If one was out of a certain size, all you had to do was go to another stand to find it or check back a bit later on once they restocked. I highly doubt anyone will have trouble finding shirts for Wrigley.
How's the line moving so far? Thinking about heading down there this afternoon, but that line looks scary...
FYI, in Boston by the late afternoon there were virtually no lines. So that's a good time to go, however, hot items that had already run through all restocks for the day weren't available, like Thomas poster.

I've been reading the descriptions for the wrigley merch on ebay. What blatant lies. How can the posters be sold out when it's just been a few hours? HAHAI really hope that no one buys this crap and just waits.

You're not kidding. Already talking about the show in the past tense. "many people walked away empty handed." Unreal.

Don't. Show up early tomorrow
I think it depends what you want. Stickers, pins, pennants or anything else that will have higher inventory levels - go today. Other items that may be more limited (posters, cards) - go tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday.
I'm having flashbacks to 2013. The day before I looked at the line and thought ok this isn't to bad should take an 1-1.5 hours. 6 hours later made the window. Funny thing was the only poster they had when I got up there was the Cracker Jack. This time I thought about going there for about 2 secs laughed at myself and said no.

If it's not a big deal for you to head over, I would say give it a shot later this afternoon depending on what you want. The desirable items will be gone, but if they are stocking like Fenway, you should be able to get many other items like wristbands, some (not all) of the stickers, the less popular posters. Also the baseball jerseys, flags, pennants and many T-shirts were amply available at Fenway.
If you absolutely must have things like trading cards, the Klausen poster (that seems to be the general consensus on most desirable?) or if you're going out of your way to get there, then just try tomorrow. However, many people are coming into town tomorrow, so I actually think lines could be crazier.
Above all, try not to stress. It's just stuff (that's what I've been telling myself, as I prepare myself to have a full meltdown over merch once I'm in Chicago )
I just drove to wrigley and back. I got there, saw the ridiculous line...also knew parking would be a PITA because a Cub game is going on, and I drove right back home. 2 1/2 hour round trip wasted. I just wouldn't have had time to wait in that line. Gotta work this afternoon.
I'm not worried though. None of these posters are 'killer' posters that will be too highly priced on the secondary market. My biggest concern was getting a few t-shirts in XL size...I'll just have to hope I get lucky on Saturday or Monday. I really want that blues brothers shirt.
So the Metro merch sell is a cluster f...they literally only have 2 people cashing customers out..2!!! Small space inside Metro itself. Line is moving unreal slow and is as long as can be. No leftover Fenway merch of any kind unless it says Chicago on it. No leftover Fenway setlist shirts...they are gone!!! No Fenway posters or hats or shirts etc. This was a line you wanted to get into way early for. I feel bad for the people at the end of the line...will be there for ungodly hours...and it's already getting hot out. Nice posters this time around!!

Anyone else getting a login pop-up when you try to view the Merch info page? Already logged into my account, tried the same credentials, but they are not accepted. It will not load the pictures of the maps or the merch.
Getting the same error here as well. Never seen that before.
Me as well....not anymore though
