Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by grafik on Dec 11, 2010 17:45:12 GMT 1, Everybody is complaining about POW, the in store release and the problems during the night. But... if POW sent an email this right moment saying that there would be a new in store release tomorrow morning, how many people would be running immediately to there, even knowing the problems of last night?
not me, i'm driving back to the countryside. xfactor is on pause.

POW staff should have been responsible for giving out the tickets. If they did, they would have possibly rejected some of the obvious flippers. Couples and family group might have been given one ticket per group. As someone else mentioned, some families got several prints.
That would have been fairer.
I'm very surprised they sold some unannounced ones at Berwick Street, but congratulations for those who got one there after queueing all night. Why didn't they just give out 60 extra tickets at POW?

You are a reasonable person;) I wouldn't too, I wouldn't even bother the first time as this unfortunate situation was predictable due to the speculation of the last days.
But I am pretty sure the queue would take minutes to get the same size as last night.
edit: It would be worst this night as people knows now howmuch others are willing to pay for the print

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Con Art Studio on Dec 11, 2010 17:52:07 GMT 1, SIMPLE SOLUTION to selling prints in person:
People all queue up BUT it doesn't matter what time you show up because at a specific time everyone online will be handed a raffle ticket with a number on it. Once everyone has their raffle ticket a number will be drawn and whatever number is drawn is the number the line starts at. It doesn't matter if you are first or last to get there.
This not ony prevents line jumpers but also prevents people from standing online for 12+ hours in the cold.

People who are saying that the release was rushed and only happened because a queue started, I dont believe that for a minute.
Some people obviously got tipped off which is why they turned up, the POW homepage info was obviously scheduled to be listed at 10pm as it happened on the button of 10.
Just seems like the ticket allocating should have been a lot better and maybe even fences used to stop a mad rush or stop people jumping in.

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 11, 2010 17:53:24 GMT 1, the reason many peoplw love Banksy is his ability to convey a message through an image. With all the talent on here meby its time someone made an image to convey the depth of disgust we all share as to the way people were treated last night.
Not sure if I've got the right mixture of queueing, violence and capitalism...

Dumb in my opinion....but still believe it is bitter fans bidding on the items to force the flippers to pay high listing fees without completing the deal.

We see this everytime their is a banksy release - year on year.
To any new members, this forum will quieten down in the New Year once the bullshit has stopped.
Then normal service will be restored.
There are 100 pages of bullsh1t re the release. Lots of 'experts' talking about dates and times.
then the usual posts re who got / who did not and flippers and their prices.
Obviously we would all love to get one but with the sheer number of entries they will get v the number of prints available, there will be huge disappointment.

Grafik I think you were right about G.B. the sneaky little SXXT! He's the only one that I recognised and, well i thought it was him, actually shouted his name!
Problem with flying solo was that if you DID question anybody about pushing in then you were met with a pretty hostile reaction!

you took snaps of the merchandise and its location; then you left for another location just because the crowds were there...
next time, just stay with the merchandise, man.....
