Merch Stall

Yeah, that's just shameful. I just bought a beautiful Def Leppard hoodie for $30.

They could charge $20 a shirt, still make a killing, and they'd make so many more fans happy. $35 for a damn hat. $50 for a t-shirt. Pathetic.

Exactly. If they charged $20 for a shirt, people would buy more and they'd probably make more money in the end. When they were cheap, I bought several shirts at every show I went to. But at $50, I'm not going to buy one.

Is there a bandana available for this tour? I saw one that was meant to be official on eBay but only briefly.

Can't say I'm overly impressed with the designs of the merch so far and it's a shame the official store seems to never get new stock to give us all a better idea too.

Another area where the "organization" is run like hell. They would make an absolute killing if they sold some of the older shirts, patches, hats, etc. Whoever is in charge of thir merchandise is an absolute friggin' idiot. They charge $50 for a piece of crap, uninteresting t-shirt that no one wants, yet could easily get away selling hundreds online of the 1989 tour shirts.

50$ for a shirt is downright insulting. You really have to think of your fanbase as stupid to charge that much.

20$ is already pretty steep - the shirts cost a fraction of that to manufacture, and I've seen enough merch booths sell 'em for 10 or 15.

In the band's defense, they're far from the only ones that charge that much.

Doesn't make it right. Just makes them all greedy pigs.

How much is the tour program? I've gotten one of those from every tour so that's something I will buy even if it is over priced (if I ever make it to a show this tour).

i also wonder how come the merchandise t shirts look s cheap???when they are so expensive...most rock bands have better quality t shirts

Guess this thread will eventually make it Jon's fault
