Default What merchandise is sold on this european tour?

Was thinking of buying from bonjovi.com before my Oslo concert, but does anyone know what type of merchandise is sold on the european concerts?
Would probably save a fortune in customs and other extra expenses if I bought it at the concert.

The first European concert will be next week. Impossible to answer this question before that.

Aloha !

Yes. It's all shit and not worth your money. Shirts, long sleeves and all that. Just the usual stuff and it costs you at least 30E per shirt.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

That's true. I was about to open a thread about the degradation of merchandise. I'm quite ok with rising prices, but I would think the quality should rise as well then. That is not the case.

It's the first time I didn't get anything, not even a tour shirt. The stuff that's ok costs a shitload of money, "normal" stuff is pretty cheap, both in make-up and material quality - just not in price. It seems to get worse with every tour.

Some of the stuff looks like their kids or Obie made them. Good Lord, get some better stuff out. It's not that difficult.

Besides, how the hell do they convert the prices? 1:1? 30$ shirts are sold as 30€ shirts. What the ****?

Hmm, weird.
Most of the merchandise WAAAY back in Newark was better than the HAND Tour stuff IMO, so I guess it's gone down hill. Still wear the crap out of that hoodie I bought last fall.

I'm not sure about the conversion rates, but I'm pretty sure the shirts on the US leg were more than thrity. Most were at least 40.

I even forgot the main argument: with such prices I would expect that at least every location is spelled correctly. It is the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen - not Veltsin and not Gelsinkirchen. It is called Leipzig - not Liepzig.
Even in 2000 there were misspellings. That's just lazy and shameful.

Well, I compared it to the online store where the official tour shirts are all 30$.
