beer wasnt 12 bucks, i paid 9 for a watery jack and coke...so how could beer be more? the worst of all the poster happenings is that people just ASSUMED that you could get more than one and went to the show with the mindset of buying more than one to sell it on ebay...what kind of fan is that? when i go to a show the last thing on my mind is screwing over fellow fans...

QuoteMan 12 $ beers and 30 $ posters.....in SF on NYE they gave us our posters FREE at the end of the show....Almost glad I sold my tix to RCMH. I've read SO many complaints so far about this show. This to me is really discouraging considering this is a forum for people who are supposed to like the  :-/band
ps 130$ for a poster....do yourself a favor and go to Wolfgangs Vault online and save some $$$$$$$ ;) ;) ;)

"SO many complaints"? People will always bitch, thats what people do. If fast-selling posters and some people talking in the mezzanine are enough of a reason to sell your tickets to arguably the biggest show in the career of the band then I feel bad for you.
Say friend, you got any more of that good sasparilla?

Um .... I wonder why the same t-shirts I saw at the show were $30 ... And online they are only $22?

With all due respect?

Nowadays if fans are asked to drop almost a hundred dollars a pop just for the ticket ... Not to mention then getting screwed like a farm girl passed out behind the barn after the square dance ....

... The least you could freakin' do is cut us some slack on the merchandise.

I already find $30 shirts to be one the most royal assrapings of all time.
$100 a ticket? Where are you getting your tickets at? Radio City was $40. New Years Eve is $50. Thats a fucking deal these days. You really cant please everyone.

thats what I was wondering... after all the ticketmaster charges you got two tickets for about $100.
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

This is the Big Apple, baby!

You can't blow your nose in this town for less than a C-Note! LOL

Trust me ... If my wife had any idea what I spend on the concerts that she loves going to see so much, she'd realize if we stopped going ...

.... We really could afford another baby

I got in early and bought a poster, and I'm getting it framed. Scalpers piss me off to no end.  >:(

I didn't think I was going to be in town the night of the show at RCMH, so I didn't get a ticket when they went on sale ....

... So, I had to Ebay it

Which I unfortuntaely accept as the nature of the beast .....

.... But c'mon .....

A freakin' EIGHT DOLLAR difference in the price of a t-shirt online and at the concert?

It's not like paying that extra $8 got me a "happy ending" with purchase .......

WELL

if you buy a 22 shirt on the site..they charge u over 9 buck for shipping which comes to 31 somethin...so in retrospect its a deal to get a shirt at the show :D

i found that out the hard way by memorizing theshirts on the site before the show so id know which were new etc and they were the same, so i went to order one today and BAM 9 dollar shipping

8 dollar bud lights can still eat my ass tho haha

if anyone happens to have an extra poster and will sell for face value (NOT to make a profit), i'd love to buy it from you

the recording of the show up on archive.org is mine...i couldn't grab a poster because i had no place to stash it with all the gear...

OK ....

Not for nuthin'?

But since I am pretty sure Scott B was the ONLY taper in all of RCMH, someone should hook him up with a poster for FREE!

.... My dad is a retired Marine Corps Colonel .... Served two tours in Vietnam and was wounded both times ....

And I swear to God I would rather be a VC with a rubber knife told to take on my father than be in front of him in the 10 ITEMS OR LESS lane at the grocery store with more than 10 items ....

My dad will begun to count their items ... Out loud .... And I do mean out loud ....

So, maybe in the future when I see someone in the merch line buying numerous copies of a limited poster I will loudly say, [size=22]"GEE, THAT IS SURE NICE OF YOU TO BUY ALL THOSE POSTERS FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO COULDN'T BE HERE!! BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO THINK YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE LOWLIFE COCKGOBLINS RE-SELLING THEM ON EBAY FOR MORE MONEY!!"[/size]

yes, this poster debacle saddened both me and my friend...he had asked the lady for the last 2 on the wall...she ignored him, then the other sales lady grabs both of them for the next person in line....what a tearjerker
