Pearl Jam 2020 postponed posters

I've gotten a poster for every show I've been to. A few of those had to find online and really search for a few because at the time I hadn't decided yet I like posters. One, Denver 98, is beat to hell, but after professionally framing looks pretty good. Another, Council Bluffs 03, is my favorite. Since I've managed to scrape getting all of them at shows although a couple were tough. Mumford for Boston two years ago I was among the first in line to get in, chose the wrong merch stand, missed it by two people, and a guy I had been chatting with (love the community) while waiting to get saw me empty handed me and sold me the one he got. The process is as fun as all of it. But damn, if I do not love those things on my wall.GlowGirl said:
Agreed. I am not a poster collector like many of you are. Right now I have two PJ posters - one for a show I was at, one I found in a thrift store and was not at the show. I just got the Baltimore one today that I had tickets for, but am also thinking of getting the Oklahoma one just because I like the design, and for $35, why not? Gotta do what makes you happy!bigblue8181 said:Its art....i buy posters for shows ive been to (some im still trying to get)....shows my wife and I've been to, and lots that I/we just thonk are really cool....walls are filled in the basement (currently redoing) and portfolios. To each his own
I decided to get the posters from the four shows I have tickets to that didn't happen. I like most of them anyway, but it isn't super expensive, they are available, it's kind of a unique different thing because they are for canceled shows and for me, I just enjoy it. Haven't decided if I am going to frame them like the rest, but I probably will. It's a little thing, it's what I like and like you said, do what makes you happy! I can't wait to get them.Post edited by RedMosquitoSmile28 on0 -
Lots of people like that Quebec poster from what I've seen, I did buy it, but not nearly at the top for me of the posters being releasedcp3iverson said:Baltimore is the first one ive bought for this tour so my self control is impressive.Quebec is far and away the nicest one IMO.0 -
I wish I started collecting earlier, I didn't know I wanted to collect either. Its fun though IMORedMosquitoSmile28 said:

Well I got lucky snagged a Baltimore just as it went up. Same for MSG as well. I have tickets to both shows and F5 my way to luckily snag a pair a week before the band cancelled. I had numerous close calls with GA 3 times. So if nothing else the Baltimore poster marks the long effort as a badge of honor. But I only get poster for shows I went to.8/12/92-Stanhope NJ

I got the Baltimore poster, but passed on the MSG even though I have tickets for that show as well. The design for that wasn’t my style. May get the Oklahoma since I really like that poster. Technically, none of us are going to any of these shows so it’s really only shows we would have been at. But I am happy to have a souvenir of that Baltimore F5 extravaganza.Steve G said:Well I got lucky snagged a Baltimore just as it went up. Same for MSG as well.

Yes I got one for Baltimore because of all the F5ing I did. I wasn’t quick enough to get a ticket but I got the poster.epbadger said:

It's been like this since Al Gore invented the internet. The good news for you is, as a result of this madness, your stack of paper is likely worth thousands vs. tens in case you ever need to cash out. So you're welcome.AK278060 said:Been collecting PJ posters 25+ yrs- never post here, someone told me about this thread. OCD level is off the charts. What’s going on here? Incessant debating on which posters get “best selling” status, hitting reload nonstop to get a “event” variant when it’s the same thing as a “tour”, speculating on which “sells out”? Are you going to flip it on eBay as an ultra rare “event” variant??? People stalking artist instas to get APs and then flip em on eBay and people actually buying regulars on eBay for 100+ when they are ~40 shipped? We are one of the best fan bases out there- this poster mania is on another level. I bought a few, sure. But the incessant focus on every triviality of the poster selling process- wow.Btw- we are the ones doing the band a favor. We are buying already manufactured merch at retail for events that didn’t happen, and doing so through their existing e-commerce platform, none of the in person logistical nightmare issues that occur from concert poster sales.Also, why the utter surprise that regular way posters aren’t selling out? These are actually niche items. Sure, they sell out at the shows, you have a captive audience of rabid fans that are there and want a souvenir + the collectors + the speculators. But online, w no event, no captive audience, no promotion? They’re just isn’t the demand for 60k posters to just sell out- feels like it’s the same 100 people here buying most items lol. Sorry, not hating on anyone, do what makes you happy, this is just really surprising, feels like this focus is sort of misguided.0 -
Are poster amounts for each show based on venue size or is it the same? For example the Baltimore venue had a 14,000 seat capacity and MSG goes up to 20,000.I miss igotid880

From what I’ve seen quoted on here from the artist themselves, available poster quantities are roughly 10-15% of the venue seating capacity.igotid88 said:Are poster amounts for each show based on venue size or is it the same?

I think 10% is right on point.igotid88 said:

Chuck Sperry said in the SFGate article : "I was supposed to do Pearl Jam's poster for their Oakland dates. That's where we were at when SXSW cancelled [on March 6]. I had 2,000 posters or so for Pearl Jam coming up. I was waiting to see if they'd cancel."
Oakland Arena's capacity is 19,596 so 2,000 posters is about 10%

What I’d be curious to know is how many 2013 Cracker Jack’s were printed? It was their first time playing Wrigley, it was for only one night and they commissioned four artist to make a poster specifically for that one show, something they’ve never done before to my knowledge (PJ20 had three artist).So did each artist get to produce 4000-4200 of their own posters or was that 10-15% spread out amongst each artist you think? I couldn’t imagine there being only 1500 copies of the Cracker Jack in print. I’d say there would have to be 5000 prints for each artist, don’t you think?0

I don’t think there’s 5000 of each. I think it’s the usual amount per print but they bring in the additional artists so that they can produce the 10% in total when you combine them together.Red Mosqito said:What I’d be curious to know is how many 2013 Cracker Jack’s were printed?

Also possible that for the “event” shows where they’re commissioning multiple posters, the rough 10% rule just doesn’t apply. So “10% of capacity for each of four artists” and “10% of total capacity split between four artists” are not the only options.on2legs said:

OKC's drop today will be the last of the posters that I'm going for as far as this run of posters. Easy passes on the rest.
Like many of you, I collect posters for the shows I go to and the posters that I like. For this current run, I'm only getting the posters for the shows that I was going to....Balt, MSG, Nash, StL, and OKC."I got memories, I got shit"0 -
