For a band that took ticketmaster to task over inflated charges for "real music fans" this all seems like a massive F'ck you. If I want a poster, to a gig I paid to see, I shouldn't have any trouble getting one.

"Real music fans" buying tickets to a show and buying merchandise from a concert are two different things. The merch is buying a souvenir. The band has made buying the bootleg CDs/MP3s an option for the music fans, and those are easy to obtain. Buying merch is no different than getting a t-shirt from a Hard Rock you visited.

No mate different animal each time. Milan had a side on snake so only two eyes. That is the one least likely to give you a migraine.

Awesome. In that case I'll probably give it a bit more consideration when I get to Madrid. That's assuming that they're keeping the specific city thing going for festival dates, which some bands do and other bands don't. Does anyone know did they have specific shirts for the festivals that they played at so far on this tour actually? I'm really excited to see them again now. It's been 8 years since I last managed to catch them live.

If it was generic, tour wide merch, I'd agree. But every show has unique items, i.e.aimed at those attending that show. If those people can't buy it because people are buying in quantity to flip, then it completely undermines the gig specific principle. If I can't buy a poster because same asshat has bought 'my' copy and sold it someone in the US for 5 times it's value, how is that "Fair?"

I too am in this boat. I don't mind paying extra if that means less hassle for me. I thank the flippers for that.
But I do not agree with the flipper who's buying 20 posters. That's taking it to far.

IF the people behind the counter sell a flipper 20 posters/pins/stickers/hockey jersey etc then i now have a better chance of buying an item, than if they only sold them one!! the flippers win and i win. i like winning

and if emek is doing seattle 2018 posters please someone buy me one and i will pay 2 times face value!

So the person behind the flipper that gets shut out because of this means nothing to you?

2 times face value might not cut it though. How about 3-4-5 times? I Don't think you will get an emek for $70

you are correct. IF the people selling the merch at the shows and the PJ organization don't care then why should i care?
it's quite obvious that PJ flipping has been going on for well over 10 years so i have hit the wall and don't care anymore. LOL
