POSTED FROM PORCH MESSAGE BOARD+++++++++++++++++++++
In case you werent there to share in the fun- heres how the msg night 2 posters worked.
We showed up @ 4:30 - 1 hour before gates opened. Sat in a huge line with about 500 other fans.
5:00- they hand out wristbands- not to get the posters but to differentiate between the people who waited 1 hour before gates open. You would assume they had an orderly way of doing this- you would be wrong. Everyone pushed and shoved to get the stupid bracelets.
5:30- They let people 50 at a time into the doors to go to the booths. Again- Madness ensues and the friends made throughout the hour become enemies- obstacles that stand in the way between you and a stupid poster. My friend was with me and couldnt get over how rediculous it was. People getting pushed/shoved.......
5:45- We get to the stand and people are cutting everywhere and jockeying for position. Lots of elbows and crying about being next in line.
5:50- The poster gates outside basically crash and a rush of people slam the merchant booths. I finally get to the stand with my buddy to get the 2nd wristband which allows me to get the coveted poster. I cant get out of line because everyone is busy pushing forward because bands are low. As I push my way out- 2 guys (people i was bullshitting and laughing with in line) freak out and push me back and ask me if i want to start something.
About 6:00 - Stand 1 sold out and a huge rush moves to stand 2 which sells out shortly after.
Rediculous- Mean/Violent/Whiny babies.
Im embarrassed to be involved in the poster craze anymore- People could have been hurt- a woman about 5'1 was yelling help as a fellow fan pushed her aside to get his wristband.

So just because it is an MSG poster people went nuts? What happened to here is your wrist band come back after the show?
as i'm posting this message... i'm 2 hours north of toronto, and there are 3 of these posters sitting on the desk next to me... how it got here, damn, its a good story...
some facts that i know:
1. you didn't need a ticket to the show to get a poster
2. people were very busy "bro-ing down" and talking about other PJ shows they went to.
3. there are WAY too many people at the merch booth asking:
3a: "Can I pay by credit card?"
3b. "do you have this in a medium?"
3c. "can i try the small now?"
3d. "how much is this?"
4. This is a really nice poster
5. Who wants to make a deal? They can ship tomorrow...

30 U$ plus shipping plus the news of taper filming ninersfan!
"I took a video of NINERSFAN, the ultimate Pearl Jam parasite.
This guy walked past us with a stack of well over 50 posters tonight, at the time this video was taken he had 5 wristbands left and was told he could get ONE PER PERSON from the MSG Poster Crew, he was trying to pay people to use his bracelets.
Right after I stopped recording, he said "Go get him"
Luckily, NINERSFAN is a 70+ year old fat bald old man who couldn't catch me if I had my shoes tied together!!!!"
FINALLY, HE IS EXPOSED! 10C, you must see this thread, this has to be made a STICKY, and we MUST get this guy out of his little game!
