What the hell is going on with the merch situation.  Ok It's  always been something most get excited about but it's become a joke . 
A money maker .
People attending the show queue for hours to find no posters. Or whatever.
Because someone is allowed to buy as many as they like to sell on eBay. . 
The attendees  at the gig can t get a momento  of the show. Unless they have 100s to spend on eBay after . It's all gone bad.  Not what a gig should be about. 
Shameful

    It just seems horrible . I've been going to pj shows since 93. I'm sure most have but it's like vultures and more important  than the gig

    People  at the actual show want to buy something and can't then have to pay on eBay 10 times more  it can t be right

    It’s a game. 

    Until a pre-order is in place, that’s all it is.

    It seems that way . Maybe I'm just to naive or honest. Not part of the game then i guess .

    Yes would be cool. And a limit of course . In London there was a limit on posters  and amsterdam . But not elsewhere
     Seem s odd

    I’m with you - in all other tours I’ve attended except in the States, posters and event shirts and stickers all readily available.   
    This time nope.  Not even with lining up.  I’ve never done that before!
    tonights the first of of any show I couldn’t get the event shirt ...

    is is it outside merch maybe?

    I've walked out at the end of shows in Europe and seen merch still on sale even last tour.  Not anymore. And ed shows were insane

    What about, when you collect your 10C tickets they ask if you want a poster. If yes then they give you a ticket to go to a specified queue at the merch to pay and pick up your poster. I know that there will be problems with this but they have to do something for the fans that are actually going to the show.

    I thought that in line for my tickets at London and next to me were 100s queuing  for merch. I said to my friend. Why can t it be one queue get your ticket and go into merch place then all done in one go.
