    whatever happened to going to the venue and buying a ticket as you go in. do people not know how to form an orderly queue these days. all ticket problems solved..... no?
    I've never heard of that, except for small bar shows (Which still try to sell as many tickets in advance as they can).   Arena/Stadium shows have always been buy tickets in advance, and show up with the ticket on concert day?

    When I was younger you could line up at a physicial TM outlet and buy tickets, but scalper gamed that too.  They paid people to stand inline and buy the maximum amount of tickets.   I even saw a TM employee hand a guy a fat stack of tickets that was way over the limit.  Never did find out what that was about.

    Fairly certain the cost of their tour t-shirts are not $35, so they have comes to terms with making an obscene profit off their customers. 
    Their regular tour t-shirts cost $35 each in 2016.  Of course the jerseys were much more than that.
    You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

    When I said “cost” I was referring to the cost it takes to make a shirt and ship it.  The selling price would be $35.
