True enough.
Not sure I'll be allowed a weekend in Cali....
Wouldn't it be an idea to keep some aside for the forum cats???

f**king' Right! I knew I moved back to the Bay Area for a reason.
Are the tickets available through the Piecelock website? Just checked and didn't see anything about the show on there.

Stoked! Really looking forward to the SF show and this release. Hope I can secure a ticket. Also sounds like a dope bill of artists, so I'll probably leave a few pounds lighter from the workout I get doin' that ol' Rob Ford, y'all.
I feel horrible that the non-Cali cats might not be able to get their hands on this straight from Thes, though... IF I CAN, maybe I can convince him to part with a few extras for the forum heads (if I promise not to make a profit on it), but I have a feeling that he's serious as a heart attack this time.
On the Instagram pic thread, he mentioned this "one-ticket, one-record, no exceptions, no mail-outs" thing being his way of giving the middle-finger to the eBay resellers. Usually, if he sells online or makes ANY extra, someone always finds a way to make independent bank off it. I agree with Fecam, though; a few people who come to the show won't want it (or may come just for the record). I think it's very unethical to resale (if someone doesn't want it, they shouldn't take one home), but if it happens, I hope you guys pick it up without getting gouged too badly.
I've tried to make a value judgment in my OWN life to only buy re-sale if the item is out-of-print. MAYBE I'll get a cheap, in-print item if the artist is overcharging for the initial sale, but that's never happened with PUTS. Thes certainly isn't overcharging for this: at $17 a ticket (minus the amount the venue/promoter takes), Thes isn't probably profiting off this much. It's another one for the fans, which is crazy admirable.
Long story short: it may not be realistic of Thes to think that he can get a release out with NO reselling, and it might suck to have to wait for an overcharged resale if you're not in Cali, but I'm hoping everything will shake out somehow. If I can figure a way to get some of these albums to forum heads cheaply/free and convey the profits to Thes, I'll try. You guys are the bomb crew (PUTS Army), and I wouldn't wanna leave you stranded. Just don't expect too much...

Sac, why don't you fling thes an email and ask if there's any chance of some mp3's of the vinyl for those who can't make it? might help curb the inevitable ebay rush too.

Sac,
it would be great if you could persuade Thes to allow non-attendees to be given the opportunity to buy.
I gotta say, I agree with the re-seller comment. I don't know if it will ever stop though, they'll be people who are willing to pay over the odds for something and people willing to sell. I guess it's simply supply and demand, I know people who say it's just free market capitalism - but then there's those of us who don't put money above all else. How much profit are you going to make on this album? Or most others? Not a lot I'd guess. As Fecam says, if you don't want it, don't have it. Give someone else the chance.
Maybe I'll have to send the kids off to their Aunties house for the weekend and for me and the wife to fly to SF for the weekend.

I'd pay for postage and donate money to a charity of Thes/Double's charity of choice.
And promise to not sell it on.......

this is dope. Thes always looking out for the fans! Maybe we can get a little PL70 exclusive download for the non-UK P fans?

Fixed. 
I don't wanna put Thes on the spot or anything, but a handful of copies in the PL70 shop (provided he can get his hands on 'em) and giving the hardcore fans/forum fam a heads up about it รก la 10YOTO might go a long way? Unless of course that'd fly in the face of the only-available-at-the-show idea. If so forget I said anything. 
The completists + collectors among us will surely find ways to track down a copy regardless...
