    My goal at Philly is to buy zilch.  Come on willpower!!!
    Good luck with that.
    My goal is to not stand in line for hours and try to enjoy myself and just get what I get.

    Not heading to Indy until after I get off work at 5 day of.
    Wrigley N1, I would like to attend the pre-party and see what that's all about.
    Wrigley N2, my son will be joining me and it'd be nice to hang out in Chi-town before the show.

    Ive done Fenway 16 and 18 but skipping this year.  Seeing this kind of makes me want to go but I won't.  That's be a cool jacket to rock even though I have 4 other jackets I still haven't worn...

    Me too. With arena shows a possibility, didn’t feel like doing another stadium.

    Here's an idea:  For such long merch lines, they should have shirts available at some point in the line purely for people to try on for sizing.  I know that takes one person away from the merch stand.  They could probably do on the honor system if they just provide the same shirt without the PJ design.  It is brutal watching people take all this time to try on clothes.  
    I've long said there should be an express line. Step up, hit the clock, and you have 60 seconds to complete your order. Need more than a minute? Use the regular line. Run out of time mid-order? You can purchase what you ordered and get back in line if you want more.
    People trying stuff on is a problem when there's a limited item about to sell out. Guy behind me at Foo Fighters yesterday was going ballistic because the person at the front of our line was trying on hoodies while the other three lines scooped up all the foil prints (about 25 available) 
    He’s absolutely right. A dedicated poster sale line would be ideal but I don’t run these things.
    They had a separate poster line in Chicago last year

    The line up began alongside the Eastern staircase facing 8th ave and then once we went through security we were brought inside and up the escalators to the theatre merch stand.

    Why isn't it one line and you go to the next available open spot? Next, Next , Next....This set up sounds like trying to figure out the quickest line at the supermarket.  Sorry to sound naive, I don't do merch.

    When you purchase a poster from an artist, do they send the poster sealed in a plastic sleeve or is it just put in the tube (as if you bought one at a show)?  Are posters often damaged in shipping?

    Normally it's in a tube with some degree of acid free paper but not always

    It's best sometimes to message the artist before the AP sale & ask how they are gonna ship the poster. Many new poster artists on the Pearl Jam roster don't know how to properly ship out a poster. It's true. Many use flimsy thin tubes that can easily be punctured. Some don't use kraft paper at all. While some who do, don't use enough kraft paper. If the print is 18x24 I've seen a few who only use a 2 or 3 inches more to wrap poster. It sucks as when shipped, the poster inside will move and slip away from not enough kraft paper being wrapped properly. Way too many stories of scratched / dented / creased Pearl Jam AP edition posters.

    10club, IMO, is the best in the businesses. Their tubes might be smaller but strong & durable. And they properly package their prints. If you want a mint quality print, buy from pearljam.com .

    What artists aren’t using tubes to ship posters? That’s madness.

    My worst experience was ordering a Coheed and Cambria poster from their webstore. Arrived creased, dented, and with an inventory sticker on the back. Total pros.

    Madrid AP was in a box with no tube. A lot of casualties
