I think the package looks pretty cool. Especially like the coasters and notebook. Mines out for delivery as well.

I guess my litmus test is, if I was on this band's website and this was for sale, would I even think about buying it for myself? If the answer is no, then I'm basically paying for a shipment of surprise future-trash.
I don't mean that as a complaint necessarily. More like I'm just writing this off as something I'm completely indifferent to.

I wouldn't choose to buy any of it either, but it's a nice bonus for me since I paid the membership mostly to get a record and concert ticket presale.

I really do like the setlist notebook, and if they offered one on the website, I would buy it. The only thing is, I need more pages. Tomorrow will be my 40th show.

that's a good question/point. I don't think I would have bought any of the free items. Maybe the Beanie but I don't really like the font on that one in all honesty. I have the picture from last year's package hanging on my wall and I use the koozie all the time, but I still wouldn't have bought them. They're all nice to haves IMO.

I love the scarf. I signed my daughter up for a membership as a xmas gift to her that year. Unfortunately, they had run out of the CT gift scarf, but they subbed in a different one that was available in the store. She moved out about a year and a half ago, but that scarf is still here, so I have the best of both worlds

I was a bit disappointed with it as well. It'll just go in to a box and be forgotten about probably. Not the end of the world, but underwhelming for sure. Maybe the fact that it came by itself without the record is making it seem worse than if it all came together.

Honestly just give me some different stickers and/or pins every year and I'd be happy.

it was underwhelming last year too. what was it--a beer coozie? i never really enjoy the merch much to be honest...
And a poster I believe. I sign up for the vinyl, I really could care less what else they send me.

I definitely have uses for beer koozies.

Does anyone know the timing of when the CT exclusive show posters go up for sale?

I'm shocked that they haven't included a sticker in any of the packages. I'd gladly use a sticker to stick it on my car if it's of decent quality since I have a couple of band stickers on it already.
Not sure but I wish I could get a poster as cool as this for the shows I attend.

Yup that’ll be the one. But coming off two Pearl Jam shows in the last two weeks I’m in No Merch Line Mode.
Separately, anyone have an idea of stage times for recent shows?

B+ on the ideas of the items D on the execution. The coasters don't seem like they can get wet and idk how to sharpen a pencil like that?

With a pocket knife usually, but that’s still assuming everyone has something like that to whittle it down.
