INFO for RSD Black Friday
RSD Black Friday is a first come first served in-person event. No holds or reserves.
We open at 10am on Friday 11/28/25.
We don't know how early to tell you to line up but over the years, the RSD line typically starts hours before we open with the bulk of the line forming after 6am.
Your place in line will determine the order you will be served. We run an order counter for RSD where you tell us what you want and we grab it for you. Titles are limit one copy per customer (you can purchase as many RSD titles as you want but only one of each). Once through the line, you are welcome to browse and purchase from the rest of the shop.
We won't know for sure what we are getting until the Wednesday before RSD. We will post our full list of titles along with quantities by Wednesday evening (11/26). We order titles from the RSD list that we feel best represent our customer base, we don't order everything on the list. Titles are extremely limited and allocated. We have no control over how many we get. Please check our website and social media for updates and teasers!
Remaining RSD titles will be available on our website at 8am Saturday 11/29/25.
Be cool to one another. This is an incredible community of fellow music lovers and we are stoked to have you all walk through our doors. It takes a lot of work to make this day happen smoothly and we appreciate your cooperation!
