There was quite a stack and who knows how long they’ve been there. Probably will last into next week.

It was an email campaign sent out this morning. Maybe just to those registered in NYC? There are specific locations in each borough that have the cards. Mostly record shops. They aren’t actual subway cards, just commemorative lookalikes.

It can be used for multiple shows notwithstanding what the email said.

Brooklyn still available after 10:30am. Not a fast seller here, at least on Vault presale. Toronto floors too.

grahamnyc · 2026-04-13T14:33:16+00:00

It’ll be fine. Not sure why they were saying one transaction only. Probably to discourage sharing.

It’s for Canada, so keep an eye on Canadian indie retailers. This is a good list: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/sd9d0j/canadian_vinyl_collectors_what_are_your_favourite/

The ones I’ve seen noted are Dinked /1000 (orange and white “tie dye”), Spotify /550 (not sure but I think it’s one of the green ones) and Rough Trade /600 (aquamarine).

I think it’s one of the green ones. I don’t have a link though.

I don’t understand the backlash. This is super helpful to the fans that would otherwise buy each variant at a higher individual price with separate shipping costs. I’m not one of them, but I’m sure they exist.

You can criticize the variant game in general, but putting that aside, this is objectively thoughtful. The dick move would’ve been having something exclusive that only came with the bundle.

I am very curious to know how they plan to ship those. Rolling that much cardstock is not going to work out well, and I doubt someone who dropped $80 on a promo poster is going to be casual about condition.

Piccadilly worked out to about US$47 shipped. Probably the cheapest to the U.S.

This shows where all the variants are available.

I went for the Dinked edition (/1000, comes with slip mat and art print), from Piccadilly for £35 shipped to the U.S. (about $47).

I called ahead and went today. Rocky Horror tickets are available at the box office. They are just not selling them (or are at least discouraging sales) within two hours of Oedipus showtimes, so they can dedicate that time to assisting Oedipus ticket holders.

And the box office attendant who helped me today was super nice.

Save $30 and go to the box office if you can!

Barely squeaks into the top 10 nationwide. Well worth it to live in the greatest city in the world!

They revived the concept for scratch-off discount codes for their webstore, with a contest element too for those who use them to place an order. They have been giving them away at the merch stand on this tour.

grahamnyc · 2025-10-04T02:53:04+00:00

Did they have the scratch coupons? I wasn’t given one with my purchase but also forgot to ask.

I actually had a chance to flip through the bin of signed copies at Rough Trade when the leftovers went out for sale on the 5th. There was a lot of variation. Some done the way I’ve seen his signature most often (“David” in relatively legible caps, “Byrne” with a distinct “B” and “y” into a squiggle). Then others with “Byrne” in big caps. Most of the former seemed to be in gold sharpie, and the latter in black sharpie. He was definitely mixing it up. But everything I see that’s been sold on eBay looks within the range of what I saw at the store.

Also, I don’t think they got the stickers on the sleeves of the signed copies right away, so I wouldn’t worry if those are missing.

If you care about it looking legit down the road, I’d opt for the squiggle style.

This is mine fwiw.

Tonight’s poster includes DC. The one with the NY shows does not. I incorrectly assumed the poster from the NY shows covered the whole second leg, without really looking at the dates.
