    Reading this stresses me out and im in the UK! I'm a big merch guy so the merch situation is a stress but surely all the merch will be available in the PJ store at some point...right???

    I remember for the 2 x Hyde Park, London shows last year there was a pop up shop like a few days before in Shoreditch, that was awesome to get it all out the way then and to be able to go to both shows already fully stocked. 

    @bicyclejoe - agreed, not a great poster to kick off

    Holy hell, I just looked on ebay and the basketball is going $185-300 range, duffel $175-300. Bastards.
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    Just let us preorder these items online.  Such a simple solution. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Haven’t waited in line for merch since Cincy 2014. Not sure I’ll ever do it again. I just don’t understand why they run out of stuff. Why not bring enough for the people that want it? Band gets the profits and the flippers don’t. They must’ve known people would lose their minds for a PJ basketball. Or the gym bag.

    I might just try an etsy shop that monograms basketballs. Will be way cheaper than the bay.

    Exactly. It makes no sense. Like I mentioned earlier, the day off should be a merch pick up, NOT a shopping session which takes time and relies on inventory. If your margins are properly designed, then costs from increased supply don’t matter, provided demand is there. And, it’s there. All the pre show merch lines do is make fans suffer. There also need to be merch advantages for 10C. Sorry, but I’ve been a loyal member since 98 and I was in line with people seeing pj for the first time. Good for them and I welcome more fans, but I should be provided with an early shot at acquiring show/tour specific gear by virtue of my tenure. 

    Of course, given the mess the ticket lottery has become, merch is really an afterthought I guess.

    I feel like the 10C could benefit from working with a management consulting firm like PWC to help increase efficiencies hah. 

    All that said, can’t wait to see them take the stage in a few hours!

    All these folks spending the day standing in a line, missing out on experiencing one of best cities in the country (trust me, I live here) for a deflated, rubber basketball that your kids will throw in the trash when you die in 20 years…

    Honest question, what do you do with a Pearl Jam basketball? Play bball with it, display it, sell it for a profit or leave it deflated in the plastic bag?

    Also, if the stars aligned that's an awesome thing to get band members to sign
