    MSG is notorious for high after market prices.  You are allowed to buy the stuff without having a ticket.  It's a dumb system.

    The hat was $40 I believe. And you have 2 shows only in the whole East coast pretty much so everyone wants it.

    The GCF hats were the nicest I have seen in a while yet nobody goes ape shit for those, lol!
    GCF? Global citizen? What did they look like Chris?

    I can't find a pic of them both but they did Mets and Yankees colors.  They are made really well.  I am almost positive I sent you a pic of them in the hats I had back a bit.

    pretty much. 2016 was eye opening for the absurdity. 2018 cemented it as absolutely insane.

    at the seattle shows the line for merch wrapped around pretty much the entire stadium concourse DURING THE SHOW.

    It was absurd long before then.  

    But then again, I spent a grand total of 19 hours in NYC and 7 of them were probably sitting in a bar. I suppose I shouldn't be throwing stones lol

    You arrived way too late then.  I showed up 2 hrs before open and got everything I wanted EXCEPT the Transformers poster, lol.  That sold out in front of me twice...

    Yeah I arrived at noon. Even that was nuts to me. I then went to the bar, bought the skyline from ebay for $85 and swore id never do it again. Ive been really lucky just going to the stand when the doors open.

    I prefer not to waste time on line when we travel to a show.  I'm good with grabbing a poster at the ten club drop or paying up on ebay.  I could almost talk myself into a 3 or 4 hour wait on line but the prospect of wasting that time and still have items sold out when I got to the front would be a major letdown.  I'd rather pay someone to wait on line for me via ebay and ship it to my house.

    I got to SHN early for the presale day only because it was 10 minutes from home.  Anywhere else I think I'm over the long lines.

    Same...plus if you are willing to wait a few weeks the prices on ebay drop on stickers, etc. Shirts are a little harder to get on ebay if you wait but they are there if you have to have it.

    I learned my merch lessen at Wrigley several years ago. Waited in line for 2 hours and poster sold out while I was a few people away from the cashier. Not worth it...get out and explore.

    Since I’m trying to be grateful today, I guess I’m lucky that the merch situation at these shows is so far beyond what I’d even consider reasonable that it’s not even a question for me. If the deal was that I had to stand on line for an hour before the show to be guaranteed to get a poster and whatever else I might want (plus the additional cost of any normal people I was going with thinking I’m crazy), I’d probably at least consider it. But getting on a line first thing in the morning and standing around for 4-5 hours? And still having the possibility of things selling out in front of me? Absolutely not. 

    What I’m saying is that I’m glad there are enough of you lunatics out there to make it such a hassle that it’s an easy call for me. Thank you for your service. Fuck the flippers forever though, obviously.

    .I completely agree that if you asked me if I'd rather stand in a line for 3 hours for something or pay an extra $100 for it, it's a no brainer. But there's a social aspect to the merch scene. I ran into a bunch of people I've met through this forum and PJ Facebook. At one point, the couple next to me asked if I was "the mayor" because so many people stopped by to chat. So it didn't really feel like a waste of 3 hours just to get a mediocre poster

    For me, it all depends on the city that the show is in. If it's a hometown show or somewhere I've been a million times? I have no issues burning a few hours waiting in line and talking to die-hard fans to ensure I get the stuff I want without an insane markup. I've actually met some awesome people in those lines so don't knock it until you try it. But if the show is in a city I traveled far and wide to or it's in some place I've never been, then I'd rather see/explore the city and pay the markup on eBay or wait for a 10c drop.

    All that said, to call someone a loser or jobless because they chose to wait in a line for a couple of concert souvenir is a bush-league move IMO. Everyone has different priorities and values their time differently...no need to bash others just because you would prefer to doing something else with that time. The flippers are a different story...criticize them all you want!
