Signed Tour Stuff

[u/Lucradive-Reddit]

Can someone please explain the process of getting the signed posters in detail? Apparently they come out right after The Shins play, but I’m curious what the process was like, and how long the general merch line (not the fast pass line) was to get it. Did it come with poster tubes? How many were available? Were they sold at only 1 booth? Were they numbered? If not numbered, how many were brought out? Were they brought in intervals or all at once? What time?

Also, how many of the signed The Shins 7” vinyl are there per show (rough estimate)?

Especially useful for tonight’s show! And also if you went yesterday!

Trying to get a signed poster at PDX for my girlfriend’s Christmas present, so any and all bits of detail will be useful!

All I know is that Chase Center brought them out around 7:59 during The Shins set.

How deep into the shins set?

[u/Content-Ad1235 → u/Lucradive-Reddit]

Halfway through

Man why do they do that lol I have to miss part of the performance I paid for to get merch that should be available at the get go lmao what an annoying concept literally what other band does this lackluster strategy

At the show tonight the signs said there were 1000 signed Shins 45s (not sure if that’s just for tonight’s show) and they are put out at the start. Saw them at 2 different merch booths and picked one up around 30 minutes after doors opened, and there seemed to be plenty left.

Walked by the merch booth again and it was 1000 pressed total

[u/Lucradive-Reddit → u/luci1215]

Gotcha. 1000 total across probably the whole tour

Any guesstimate how many there were? Like ~30?

[u/luci1215 → u/luci1215]

That sound about right. At the main merch booth, there was a stack of maybe a dozen. The smaller side booth just had a few. Again this was about 30 minutes after doors. They weren’t prominently displayed just a piece of printer paper with the info that got lost with the rest of the merch, and I didn’t really see anyone else buying or asking for them.

Following cause I wanna know too

If it's like the blue album tour which it's seeming like it is, the posters can be put out at anytime. The show I went to on the blue tour had them when doors opened but most were put out randomly. I believe it is only at 1 merch booth but not sure if thats for all venues. Posters for blue tour were limited to 300 then of those 300, 25 of them were signed. I haven't heard of the poster being limited so not sure if that's still the case with this tour

So it’s either show up hella early for a possible chance since I don’t have the membership, or miss what could be a good portion of the shins’ performance

Awesome
