    Too bad they can't keep the limit to 1 per poster design per customer, seeing that they will be selling all 5 poster designs for all 7 day's.

    Same customer could be first in line (or top 10) for the next 7 day's buying up posters & all the merch their eye could see, nothing management can do right? Just hope they have enough to go around for their fans.

    I like the 2 poster limit of each design
    That’s what it has always been.  It will not be enforced.
    I’ve never been to a show that this wasn’t enforced. 
    me neither, on the whole the limits were enforced at every show i went to in Europe this year. I heard a few stories of a few Italian shows where the merch sellers were not told in time, but other  than that it was a strict limit

    For those curious as to why someone would by two of the same print here are a few simple reasons.
    1. Use the second poster as trade bait for future posters or for a poster you missed out on for a previous tour
    2. Have a merch buddy (i.e. Ill get your shit in Seattle, you get my shit in Missoula) This saves fans time from having to wait in merch lines in two different cities
    3. Some people just flip these posters to fund their tours
    4. Some people buy a spare in case one gets damaged

    Im sure there are many more reasons, but if the two poster limit per print is enforced, I do not see an issue with it.

    Possible that someone wants to frame the front and back views of the posters, since a lot of cool stuff is on the back side now.

    It should be one poster per person.  Can’t see a legitimate reason why someone should need to buy more than one poster.

    Well, my concert buddy is getting in the day after me in both Chicago and Boston. Thought I would be a nice guy and help by maybe picking up a poster for him so he did not have to wait in line too.

    No offense to you personally.... But is it being a nice guy to the dude on the line behind you who is actually there and will miss out while your buddy who isn’t there gets one?   

    Just my opinion... but it should be one per person and then the posters go to the people actually on line.

    With the 7 days stretch
    is it possible posters are sold out on the 5th day?

    some customer can show up on the first day
    buy another 2 posters the next day
    then buy another 2 and so on
    nothing 10c can do about this

    I think they hold back posters for each day.

    They do but they definitely have more earlier on of sought after items. 2016 things that were in high demand were supplied less and less after each day. There were barely any Catches left for Sunday at Fenway.

    Not disagreeing, I'd be fine with one per person.  But it is just as likely the guy behind me is buying to put on ebay. Or only buying to trade with someone for a Seattle poster, or a Berlin poster, etc. Or buying 50 stickers to trade.

    I agree.  One person would solve a lot of headaches.

    In Boston in 2016 they took a pic of a guy to make sure they stopped selling him boxes of baseball cards. Thought that was pretty funny. Also, would not sell full boxes after that. At least while I was there.

    How do they enforce "no lineup before 9am?"
    They don’t. They had the same rule for Wrigley 2016. I got there an hour before said time just to take a look and there were already about 300 in line, the front of which looked like they’d already camped out for a while. I said fuck it and got in line too.
    Yeah, definitely wasn't enforced at Fenway either. Maybe someone makes them put the disclaimer in.

    How about the supply inside the stadium?
    will it be minimal?
    i still think the best way is to get merch inside
    always works for me for the european tour

    2pp on posters seems completely reasonable to me. Hell, there are still Fenway posters in the store. They're trying to sell through these things.
