Did a drive by the festival grounds last night and did not see a merch booth outside. Gonna suck having to carry stuff around all day since there is no re-entry .  

Re-entry is allowed by scanning bracelet.

People are buying 20 posters at a time with no regulation by staff...  its gettting angry in line

More incompetent staff 10 club has working for them. It is ridiculous that they can not hire better companies/people to sell their stuff. 

The limit is 2. Workers were unaware of the limits before that guy ordered. Only happened once.

Its not 10C, it's event staff. But they had 4 people working 20 lines and they weren't moving from line to line to serve everyone equally. It was a clusterfuck and still is. Posters are the only thing moving fast, there should be plenty of other merch later in the day.

I realize that. They are hiring people to sell their merchandise. They have had plenty of issues with companies/staff in the past that do the same thing over and over by selling however many quantities they want. All I am saying is the message is not getting to the merch tent on how things need to work and if it is getting there the people they are hiring do not give a shit. Make a huge ass sign so everyone can see. 2 posters per person. It is not that hard.... 

True but people in line got on that shit pretty quick and made staff enforce to 2/person rule. A few people got away with it but it got shut down PDQ. Hopefully it stays that way.

To be fair I don't think 4 guys knew what the hell they were doing with any of it. And there was merch not even at the stand when they opened. They just had no idea what was coming.

I wish I was not so vocal about this to be honest. It is just so frustrating watching this happen over and over. The juggernaut that is Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder merch should be widely known by now. Apparently 4 people is not enough especially if us as customers are making their lives harder by not doing something proper that we are taught in elementary (forming a line).  Hire two more people. Have 4 lines that are sectioned off properly. 4 people taking orders and 2 runners grabbing merch. Only take orders from those in line and not those that barge in on the wings. Have shit ready in time when you open.

I feel your frustration.  No one should be allowed to buy 20 posters.  I feel like lately merch limits have been better enforced at Pearl Jam shows and that's probably the result of the fan club being more on top of the sales people at the venues. But I'm guessing that when Ed tours it's a skeleton crew that accompanies him and stuff like merch limit enforcement falls through the cracks.  

I remember in 98 the limit being 1 poster at the shows i was at.  How did this change even at PJ shows?  I know this is a festival but man i wish that was dictated to the staff.  More than 3 and you’re flipping 99% of the time
