    I've made some barter trades with community members for posters. 'Never sold a poster, concert memorbilia, or music for profit. It feels like the frequency of people selling any of the aforementioned items for profit has been on the rise here the past 5 years.  I'd say it's peaked over the past 3 years. 'Disappointing indeed, as it's not a community building practice in my opinion. Enjoy the shows everyone.

    I agree wholeheartedly. Wasn’t there a time when that was frowned upon and they just did their dirt on eBay? As recently as 3 years ago I was buying posters on lost dogs at great prices from other members. That’s doesn’t happen anymore.

    It’d be nice to get some rehearsal footage or maybe some pics of the band before these shows? You know, to hype us up even more about the actual concert instead of buttons?  Instead we get 100 merch teases. Just seems odd to me

    I’ve been around this band for awhile and have traveled to see them since ‘94. I pick cities I want to go to, enjoy my time there and go see my favorite band. Didn’t line up in ‘03 when there were “blocks”, don’t line up for GA, and sure as fuck won’t line up for merch. I go for the music.
    The most disheartening thing about this band right now is the fans. All the craziness with merch, the rail, etc...

    If you're selling cheap, you better know who you're selling to. People will turn around and flip that, too. Learned that the hard way.

    Disagree.  No one is selling valuable posters for $35 anywhere.  i always see the best prices on here from a lot of folks.  The whole point of that forum is to sell and trade and most people take care of eachother.

    Agreed.  Also... That forum moderates itself pretty well.  If someone is blantantly flipping it gets called out pretty quick.

    I’m good with that as long as the seller only bought one poster.... that’s not flipping to me.  Everyone is entitled to buy one poster and to do what they please with it.... frame it, sell it, or burn it.  My issue is with people who buy multiples.  That prevents someone else from getting their one poster.

    A 10C ticket lottery winner bundle would be best IMO.  ya win the lottery you get  to buy the unique show shirt and poster only.  works better for a full tour rather than the stadium shows but still would help. my guess is some people would still line up and flip but at least you can get those items easier if you choose to.  I bet we are all willing to pay a little extra for this type of option too.
    But then you'd get flippers willing to forfeit the cost of one ticket in order to makeup their loss by transfer /selling the other ticket and flipping the pre sale merch. Nothing will work until everything is mass produced to take away the limited nature of the items. 
    Hey I’m just trying to think of a way that people who want that can get it problem free. Of course there will be issues but at least a good group of fans will get takin care of
    Marquee 91
    Wetlands 91
    CBGB 91
    Roseland 91
    and many, many more

    Posters for me only really matter too. I’m glad the Montana show isn’t at a baseball statdium.

    Maybe next tour they play in a hockey arena here in Canada and release PJ hockey theme cards. Now that would be exciting!

    Went to see phish the other day and I know not everyone likes them or their music but that’s not why I’m writing this.

    your opinion aside, it was such a great experience to not have a bunch of bros standing in line going crazy for
    merch or standing in line causing drama for GA space.  Everyone went right in, people were amazingly friendly and happy.  There was no line for merch anywhere and people just danced and laughed around the place the whole night.  It was great.  Such less drama and bs.  Way better vibe than a lot of the recent PJ experiences I’ve had.  I have always loved PJ and the music, but the fans and merch make it a bit hard to love.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Uh.. why is it in Seahawks colors and has a baseball on the side? Horrible attention to detail, drives me nuts just like the baseball cards on old basketball card scheme. Come on dudes.

    Good news is, this'll save me money, no way I'd buy that hat, it would drive me batty. (I'm only slightly OCD.)

    I, too, think the baseball cards are tired and would strongly encourage people not to buy them and please send all leftover stock to me as I will deal with it properly
