    What’s strange to me is when I was out there for foo fighters in July there was zero issue with merch—stands all over the place-plentiful posters. I don’t understand how PJ manages to absolutely fuck up this merch situation and FF can figure out a good system.  

    Wrigley a few weeks ago was bad but Boston sounds worse. I’m hitting the merch line at ten am tomorrow when my flight gets in with “hopes” for a chance at Mumford.
    I think the desire is not quite the same for the foos posters. Don't get me wrong tho. I like the foos and they had some great posters on this tour, but we can't compare them to PJ fans and the poster madness that we bring.

    +1. It’s the fan craze with PJ. I was walking out of the Foos show in Toronto and still saw posters at a booth.

    Most ppl were buying for themselves and friends but there was a kid with an analog shirt and his mom who must have bought their full allotment (10 each). They spent a good 10-20 min rolling.
    There was a kid right in front of me wearing an Analog shirt with his Mom. I had a huge smile on my face thinking how great it is to see a teenager so into this band. They were the in the second group of people to get let into the store and I was at the front of the third group. I saw him with five poster tubes and pretty sure he had five posters (1 of each) I didn’t see him rolling posters (because I had been let in by that time) but he struck me as the type that was so excited about his purchase he spent a lot of time carefully rolling them. I think he was a fine example of what I’d like to see in the next generation of PJ fans.

    ^^^^official merch stands outside of the venue hurts the other vendors.  Think of the little guys!

    i bought some of my favorite PJ shirts stuck in concert traffic from street vendors.

    What, the new generation of flippers! Lol somebody already said he and his mom both had at least 2 of every poster.

    I’m only going off what I saw and I admittedly did not see it all (didn’t see what his mom purchased) but he struck me as a kid who loves this band, Convinced his mom to take him Fenway, and wanted posters from the show.

    Did he buy four copies of each?

    Sounds like it’s more my bad, if he brought his mom and he bought two of each and she bought 2 of each then that’s not cool at all.

    see how things get blown outa proportion...

    "somebody said" ......  "at least 2 of each poster"......  "both of them" 

    total bullshit.

    It’s a merch topic. There will always be insanity

    Merch upon entrance much easier than the early morning rush.
