Poster strategies
How does everyone deal with the the always present conundrum of wanting to buy a poster early in the evening so you make sure you get one, and having to do something with it while in a crowded room of screaming/jumping/sweating fans?
I recently noticed that the Black Keys are offering tubes with their posters at shows... anybody know if this is something Jack is doing on this tour?
What have you done in the past? Bring your own tube?
I won't have a car or anything nearby when I can stash it...

Re: Poster strategies
Bring your own tube to Jack's show. People were just holding them rolled up in their hands. Can't be too any mint copies floating around with that method.

Re: Poster strategies
Bring a tube, check it with your coat if possible.

Re: Poster strategies
Careful though. At the Ryman last year they didn't allow poster tubes inside. Everyone who brought tubes had to leave them outside. I got stopped by security after buying my poster because they thought it was a tube. Then Mandy ended up sitting on the poster, creasing it for life. Luckily I no longer trade or sell posters from shows I actually attend.

Re: Poster strategies
This is what i'm afraid of... though I dont really see why you couldnt bring in a cardboard tube. Security is so funny sometimes.shaneoftheroad wrote:Careful though.

Re: Poster strategies
At the memphis show you could go in and out of the venue, so we grabbed our prints then put them in the car before the show even started.

Re: Poster strategies
Also if tubes are a no go have some elastic bands on your wrist. Also plastic poster sleeves are easy to put in a pocket and don't set off metal detectors. Get there early and ask security and then plan ahead from there. Never find out at the door you can't bring in a tube.

I put a pony tail holder around my wrist and use it.

Re: Poster strategies
I always bring a plastic poster tube with me. Fits in my pocket, security doesn't care about it, and it keeps the poster safe...unless you sit on it... So far, haven't had a problem with plastic tubes though. Good luck!c0rpe wrote:This is what i'm afraid of... though I dont really see why you couldnt bring in a cardboard tube.

Re: Poster strategies
How small is it that a poster tube fits in your pocket?
I always bring a rubber band or two and a cardboard tube with end caps if I know it's a show where I will be getting the poster. I've never had a problem with security either. If it's a show at TMR, it's pretty easy to get a poster at any time, take it to the car and manage to get your spot back in the crowd. At larger venues though I don't usually risk losing my spot and just keep the tube in between my feet.

Re: Poster strategies
It's just like a plastic covering that slides right over the poster...nothing ridiculously sturdy but it gets the job done...definitely keeps the corners from getting bumped and foldedorangeshoeskid wrote:How small is it that a poster tube fits in your pocket?

Re: Poster strategies
The Workplay show a few weeks was awesome cause they let us go outside and put ours in the car as soon as we got them. In chattanooga that was a big no-no

Where did you get this? When I google plastic poster tube I get something that definitely would not fit in my pocket.notwdrums18 wrote:I always bring a plastic poster tube with me.
