I hear you. Even then, I'd rather try Emek's site, 10C's sale, eBay, or pay someone already in line a nice profit before waiting 4+ hours for a poster and hoping they don't sell out. I feel like these PJ merch lines are out of control and only getting worse and more absurd and while choosing not to go won't change things at least I know I'm not directly contributing to the "problem" I feel is growing.pearlybaker wrote:I wouldn't bet on it - in Miami, they pulled all the inside posters to the merch truck.

I'd say there is maybe 1 or 2 posters per tour at most that have decent secondary market value. MSG Donkey Kong, Cracker Jack, Moline....pretty much all of the others can be had pretty affordably. So knowing this, I don't understand why adults would stand in line for hours just to purchase one the day of. And today, it's raining so good luck with that.

This poster isn't good but tomorrow hopefully will be sweet. PS... It's raining in Philly right now.

Completely forgot there is a Phiilies home game tomorrow night. Not that they draw many but it's going to add to the traffic.

Out of 20+ shows that was a top 5 for sure. The energy was absolutely through the roof. Tomorrow is gonna be nuts.
Indeed. So happy to be in the Pit last night. What an encore -- Picture in a Frame, a bit of Angie, Oceans! (crossed that off my list), Chloe, CoT... I could keep going but I'll stop.
I grabbed one of the stickers Mike threw out. Tectonics sticker. I showed my bud. I go "it's just a sticker." He goes "Is that thing signed?" I go "nah." I look at it again-- I go "yeah it is!"
Such an amazing night all around

They were clearly holding back.
No Vitalogy played last night......must find tickets for tonight.

Photo posted on FB shows 5 sealed poster boxes and at least open one for today. So at least 1000-1200 Emek's I'm guessing. It's still possible all 9 boxes are for tonight and they've already moved some to the truck. Also the shirts are blue tonight.
