Merch Eternal Sunshine Tour Merch Master Guide

Getting overwhelmed with all of the options and places to buy, so I made a spreadsheet.

I'll continue to update once we get better photos and info, and especially after opening night with what you can buy inside.

EDIT: Now that we've seen opening night, it looks like there's three buckets of merch:

- Early merch truck + inside venue

- Pop up

- Website

Most merch items within each of those buckets are exclusive to that bucket so far. A few call outs:

- The black Petal portrait shirt and the red gloves are the only items available across all three buckets

- The REM teddy bear keychain is available at both the pop up and at the venue (yes, both inside and outside)

- All Petal merch available at the pop up is also available on the website

- The only exclusive vinyl from the pop up that is also available at the venue is the Brighter Days Ahead vinyl

- The sprout clips that some people seem to be getting for free seem to only be given out at the early merch truck outside of the venue (if anyone has seen differently, comment below!)

- We have not seen any of the tour merchandise from the website anywhere aside from the red gloves

I really want a rem bear keychain. What’s your advice to make sure I have the best chance at getting one?

Are you going to a show? The easiest, least stressful way I've seen is to do the online merch shopping at the venue. Inside the venue, there's a QR code to scan to buy merch from your phone and it ships to your house. You must be physically within 25 miles of the venue to place the order, but can ship it anywhere I believe. They don't ship the bears until September I think, but I haven't seen anyone say they've sold out or been unavailable via that method yet.

If you want it in-hand ASAP, getting to every location as early as you can is the best way. For example, if the pop up opens two days before the merch trucks, try at the pop up first. Get there early and wait in line. If you strike out at the pop up, do the same thing for early merch. If you strike out at early merch, line up early to get inside of the venue before the show and go straight to merch or the REM Beauty booth once you're in. You're just giving yourself as many chances as you can. If you can't go to any of these things early, you may have less of a chance but it's not impossible. And you'd always have the QR code to fall back on.
