last night a merchandise (small) trailer was parked out in front of the BOK Center, and post-show there was plenty of merchandise booths around - so I am sure you should have no problems post-show.

Hey Jill,

I'm not sure about your venue, but right after we first got let in to the venue, we ran for the merchandise booth and bought our goodies! And boy, was I glad I did! After the show was over, the merchandise booth had a line all the way down the hall, and almost back to the entrance of the venue, so I'd buy whatever you want first.. JMO..

Hugs,

Arlene

not to digress from thew point of this thread, but I have to share a quick merchandise buying story here. Back at Stevie's Milllenium show in Vegas at the HOB, myself and my friend were near the front of the line so once the doors opened we of course stampeded to the front of the stage and were both pretty much right in front of Stevie's Mic. After we got up there, I looked back at the merchandise booth and saw people walking away with several of those special 12-31-99 pink shirts. I was pissed! Did i make a break for it and try to get some stuff risking my spot at the stage, or did i stay and pray that there would be stuff left over after the show. I decdided to run fast and get stuff for me and my friend and I was able to get a couple coffee mugs and 3 each of the white and pink shirts. after the show of course there was pretty much nothing left, 0 pink shirts for sure. of course, who was in charge of Merch that night? that's right, none other than CN himself. I cold not understand for the life of me why he couldnt understand that those pink shirts would be a real collectors item and had alot moe in stock..

I hate carrying that stuff around, take a chance and wait until after the show. But don't blame me if you miss out on those rare collectables!

In St. Louis, my mom and I had a plan...I would make a b line for the concession stand (we'd been there for hours and hours with nothing to drink) and she'd go to the merchandise stand. We got it done in about 10 minutes and were one of the first ones down on the floor.

I'd get the merch buying over with first thing, but thats just me

I hate it too also, but I didn't take the risk and bought before. Anyway I saw they were still selling after the Dallas show.

Extremely expensive. Funny, absurd, paying $40 for a Fruit of the Loom t-shirt. Actually it was the stampings on them what I was paying for.
