What's the estimated wait time for Seattle merch

  • I passed a couple merch tables on the 100 level after the show.  The lines were a bit long, but there were stacks of all of the posters except the RV one.  Can't say what shirts were left, but there seemed to be a load of stuff.

    How does the bag policy work if you buy merch or a poster outside of the stadium?  Can you bring that in or do you have to check that at the locker place outside of Safeco?  If you don't have a hotel or car nearby, is it best to buy merch inside of the stadium?

    Where do you park and how much is parking near the merch?
    You could bring the poster tube in but no large bags. You would have to check it in the lockers. You'd be better lining up early in line to get in stadium and being first to get merchandise inside. We lined up about 4. Doors opened at five went to the merchant table on floor. 10 minute wait for merch. Lines on the 100 level merch booths were ridiculous. 
    Saw people from my position on the floor waiting in that 100 level merch line during the show which made me laugh. Really? You'll stand in line for t-shirts and miss the show? Priorities I guess. Well, I guess they can still hear the music.

    So with all of the talks about bags and purses not being let in, what do you do with your stuff if you buy merch before the show.  If you don't have a hotel or car nearby to store your stuff, will they let you in with your merch?  Or do you either use the storage kiosk that everyone talks about or wait to buy your merch inside of the stadium.  Thoughts???

    Just saw the merch tent from the bus....looks like the switch backs are full. Couldn’t see if there was an overflow line. My money is on yes.

    This is so hard to believe! Why would anyone miss the show to wait in line for merch??

    I was at the show last night but already headed out of town. Can anyone pick me up a large set list shirt? I have plenty of other shirts to trade from mystery boxes and/or am willing to pay for your shirt in return. Please PM if you can help. Thanks.
