I saw a guy with three poster tubes.  I just wanted one being first time there for PJ and got none.  gets me angry.

Looking to buy any Fenway posters!

That was probably me. Those have the 4 posters I was able to score out of luck yesterday inside Fenway. Just happened to stay with a friend and went to get my set list shirt before heading back to my hotel.

They were not enforcing 2 per. Had most of the shirts (but not in all sizes,) no posters or stickers

So fucked up. I bet the merch ppl want to go home.

That was messed up. I saw people taking way more thab 2 shirts, and L and above were marked sold out as I bought my one Medium around 1.50pm. At that time, line had probably about 30 people.

I really considered going over the 2 per person limit to pick up shirts for people here but I felt bad for everyone still standing in line. Most people self regulated and only bought 2 from what I saw, but there were definitely others with more.

Dude in Seattle walked out with a box full.

That was a rumor corrected - the merch ppl gave him a box to hold all the stuff he purchased. It wasn’t full of setlist shirts.

For what its worth, Boston n1 I asked if I could have one of the empty card boxes and the guy was really nice and said "yeah sure, just dont tell anyone you got it from me" I said "oh, are you not allowed to give them out?"  and he said "no it's okay, but some of these guys set them aside and bring them home to sell on Ebay so they'll just be pissed at me. But since you just spent that much money here, if you want a goddamn box you can have it." I was happy that I got the box but in the back of my mind I wondered if this was going on with other stuff which bummed me out because I got shut out on the 2 posters I wanted the most. Luckily for me though friends of mine were able to snag me the 2 posters. But it just sucks to think that it's not managed a little better or that there aren't more rules for the vendors. I get that its probably not the most high paying job in the world but I toured with bands selling merch and never even thought of doing that. If at the end of the tour there were things still left in my size I might snag a couple things for myself with permission. But that was like 15, 16yrs ago. Different times I guess..

I got to the park around 430. I had a handful of people in front of me at gate A so I decided to wait until 5. I figured YES I’ll definitely get myself a Mumford. I ended up first after security at about 450. Right in front of the device to scan my phone. Gates open, the scanner doesn’t work. Unbelievable. Went through another scanner and still only had about 15-19 people in front of me. So I still was happy thinking I’m def getting a Mumford. As I looked over at the stack I realized I had no chance. The stack was soooooo slim compared to the other 4. How? Why?  Oh well. I had no chance. Everyone bought 2. Even couples went separately to buy 2 each. I only wasted 40 min of my time but it was still so odd to me just how thin that pile was. I quickly thought, do people on the inside take a bunch fir themselves? Nahhhhhh. Hmmm. Maybe. Anyone have any answers? Shouldn’t there be an equal amount of each poster?

Which day? Sunday I was also lined up at 5 at A. I didn’t have a scanner issue but was able to grab a Mumford fast, relatively big stack. Went to check on the hubs, who rushed a different stand, told him I got one. Also a decent amount of Mumfords at his stand. Since I had one he left his position and we went to our seats.

Sorry to hear you had bad luck though.

I was right in front at Gate A yesterday, too, Actually went in the side where they opened the garage doors that no one else realized exsisted. I was lined up to get right through. I guess I didn't go quick enough and there was already a line at the stand straight ahead but not a huge one. That stack was super thin but everyone bought two like you said. Ran out literally two people before me. They even sold the display. I kind of feel two per person in the venue and maybe overall stinks, but it is what it is.
