Concert Merchandise

guypjfreak

you only have to look on ebay and the prices people are selling them for to see the problem i mean £20/25 plus for sticker and badge its just madness but an easy way to stop it imo would be to sell them in the merch shop on here like they did the flags ........i thought the flags were going to be a special "that gig" thing but hey ho 2 weeks after the gig they are on sale here and you dont see THEM being flipped for loads of ££ on ebay do you .............that my take on it

Said it before and I'll say it AGAIN, people are funding there tours like this. There's 1 guy on ebay who 100% went on tour and bought a shitload of merch and has them all up for RIDICULOUS amounts of $$$$$. He doesn't give 2 shits about what any of us think. Everybody is built differently.

St. Louis merchandise line was brutal. Opened late, rained early, no limit, and the people working the merchandise truck moved like zombies. There were rumors that one guy (nicknamed leisure suit guy) bought about 40 posters. Stickers and pins were gone when I finally got my turn but was able to get a poster. Milwaukee was tons better. The people working the booth were organized and quick. Both cities the people in line were good. Didn't see anyone jump in line which I heard happened in Detroit.

Saw "Leisure Suit Guy" again in Moline...
with his buddy we nicknamed "Slick" because they actually did jump line!!!
Luckily they were held to a 2 poster limit in Moline!!
Saw them scalping tickets later that day too.
Sure hope they took a bath on those HORRIBLE St. Louis Posters,
I didn't even want to buy the one 1 that I got!!
LOSERS L-)

Damn, Dave. You really don't strike me as someone who would speak ill about many people, so these people must have really bugged the crap out of you. There's a story there . . . :-? I suppose that if we had a thread called "Leisure Suit Guy," it would probably get shut down, eh?

The St. Louis merch line was probably the MOST brutal one I was in this year!
They opened late & the weather was horrible.
Eddieshometown is telling the TRUTH...
this guy bought 40 POSTERS!!!!
AND he & his buddy jumped the line in Moline too!!!
I have no LOVE for flippers or line cutters!
I apologize for my negativity Amy

I'm sorry. Missed the 40 poster purchase. I see how I missed it. I just flipped right to your comment off of the forum front page.

Did they buy that poster sight unseen? I mean, 40? Um, do I recall it being Popeye with Leprosy? Yes. Yes, it is. I double checked. Really? /:)

For whatever it is worth, I knew that there had to be something particularly irksome for you to say that.

Flippers and line cutters should go to that special place in hell that Kat has reserved for those who RickRoll.

None of the merch I've seen is worth what they're asking at the venue, much less 10X face value. The people who are "funding their tour" with desparate fans willing to help are vultures and selfish a-holes...plain and simple.

$35 for a t-shirt is crazy. I definitely pass on more shirts now. It has to be insane how much they make on merch. I wonder if it is more than they make on ticket sales.

Merch is ALL their revenue. HUGE moneymaker for them when they open off site too.

Good discussion here. Thanks to everyone for participating and enlightening me. Glad to know I am not the only frustrated one..

Most ikely true that the economics of selling individual venues through 10C do not make sense. How about a complete set of buttons and stickers??? Or how about getting the option to but if you draw for a 10c ticket?

I like having the "tokens" from the concerts I see. Save my ticket stubs and put stickers on my car and buttons on my back pack.

Thaks again everyone,

I would even be willing to pay more for "Shipping and Handling" fees if they would have a "Poster, sticker, button" combination for those who got 10 tickets for a show. $25 isn't out of question since that translates to about $8 in hour I would be waiting in line.

The STL poster looked rough online but once you actually get close to it, it actually is pretty cool. I was able to get it on PJ.com avoiding all of the lines. I don't see why the resale is so high on these items when they go on sale within a month after the show.

I absolutely love this print in person!

If 10club offered combo packages, that would blow my mind. I wouldn't complain about their shipping & handling fee charges. Ok, maybe I will but what if right?

Buy the poster, official bootleg CD, sticker, button & shirt of the show? (ok, maybe not include a shirt. A little extreme). That would be AWESOME!!!
