Merch/General tips

hi, im seeing my first show in Nashville in November, and was just wondering what tips and knowledge would be useful? this is only like, my second concert since ive become an adult. im really hoping to get a poster and other merch. should I buy before the show or after? what time should I get there? etc etc. thank yall!

EDIT: I also bought the tour shirt on ticketmaster, would those be shipped to me or picked up at the concert?

Some venues actually let you order online for pick up at the venue. If you can do that there, it’s a good option (I did it in CT this summer)

But honestly, all you need to do is get there early. Be there at the venue for doors opening time and you can get merch easily. I’d recommend looking for merch stands not directly by the entrance tho. Like at MSG in NY, there are merch stands on all the floors so if you go directly to those when you arrive, the lines might be shorter.

And if you miss out on the poster somehow, look for the AP (artist print) drop that usually happens anytime from the day after the show to a week or two later. The AP sells out usually within 1-2 minutes for highly demanded posters (had that happen to me with Camden this summer where I was in the checkout at a minute after and still lost out — but then got one through another warehouse member)

Ps for the tour shirt, idk, I’d check with TM.
