Let me start off by saying that I think on the whole Ten Club is very good. Priority tickets, bootlegs etc is worth the subscription alone.
Here's my question. Why isn't there a European online merchandise store? The band has a very loyal and fairly large following in Europe. I know loads of people who follow the band, buy merchandise by the lorry load and are unhappy that the cost of buying shirts etc is becoming ridiculous.
It's not because the shirts are expensive, it's the postage and import charges.
Here's an example:
I bought a Springsteen hoodie for £32 plus £3 postage = £35
If I bought a PJ hoodie it would be £35 plus £10 postage plus £11 import charge = £56
I realise the import charge isn't 10Club's fault but surely a European store makes sense. Most bands do it. Hell, REM still have one and surely Pearl Jam sell more merchandise than them.
Come on guys, this needs addressing as fans are being ripped off.

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
still I support the idea !!
Just from a business perspective it makes sense but even more so from a service one.
I mean, I bought the Springsteen hoodie, didn't buy the PJ one

The old days: Good domestic rates, high international rates. 2 years ago - High domestic rates, awesome internation rates. Now: ok domestic rates and crazy expensive international rates.
Maybe the 10c isn't a big enough operation to negotiate better contracts and use economies of scale to lower their costs.

Maybe if it was ever going to be done it would've happened by now. Would be nice if someone at ten club looked into it.

then we get into the realms here of second guessing too much without any idea how they work these things or their protocols and why they do it like they do.
