Amsterdam was the only recent show I didn't queue up to the mercy tent hours in advance. I chilled and enjoyed the extra time in the city. HOWEVER I got to the Ziggodome at 4:30, sat in line for 10C tickets for 2 hours, finally got in but missed the 10C early entry, and by the time I got to the indoor table the posters were gone. And I really wanted the venue specific shirt but those were completely gone as well.
That's crazy isn't it?
I'm happy I was able to get the poster from the shop the other day, in hindsight it made travelling a little easier. But I just don't understand the frenzy anymore.

Our pain is self chosen. Would be easy peezy to allow a poster with ticket purchase. But then no demand.
So im sure like me, many many people buy posters to shows they weren’t at, don’t love, and hope to trade for the ones we missed. I have been lucky to attend 100 or so pj shows and I have momentos that mean the world to me. It was my life’s history 94-now.
When cornell passed I found myself looking for posters and picks of his and realized we are all just trying to get closer to our hero’s and put our memory in an item from there.
And please don’t mistake my single complaint for anything, this fan club has given me tickets and times I could never afford or get to.
When I sent 200 postcards to try to win tickets to 1/15/95 I did win and it came with this membership. Which is worth everything to me.
PJ has been very good to me, and this one clearly profit based decision is a bit baffling. I mean fuck I got 5th row tickets in 03 for $38, but with merch the profit machine is churning regardless of what’s best for fans. If ya can’t beat um, join um.
Anyone want to trade a Mumford for transformer? Lol in 5 years Mumford will be worth more anyway.
People! All posters from the Tour in Europe are sold out!! (Before the show start!!) never happend on a European Tour i think. I don’t where 10 c the posters print? But is this not strange that 10 c dropping posters one week after the show? So i think that 10 c holding posters in 10 c hq from European Tour so they can win iT from the flippers? Just an idea??
