Also, we are kicking off in either WA, CA, CO, MN, VA, VT, ME, RI, NJ, or MD.
St. Louis confirmed
Another drivable city for me. Looks like my car is racking up some mileage this year.
In 2014 we tried to fly there from Boston. Connection in Chicago got cancelled, so we rented a car and drove the rest of the way. Was so worth it to hear Footsteps live for the first time...but that was a loooong day.

My guess is less than $8
i think the number must be 5-8 dollars tops cos,,a shirt lets say needs 3-4 dollars to be made,,now add the profit of the merch company..maybe need to pay the artist who made the shirt, seperetaly ..the workers need to be paid the day of the show..and then there is the cut of the promoter,the cut of the venue allows u to sell those in their venue,of to all that,,add the taxes. so the band who their name is on the shirt...they playing the show get less than 20% of the shirt..

The drive does suck! But I’m guessing maybe they play there and Nashville in a short span of one another, so that would break up some of the drive if the stars align. We shall see.

isn't PJ different though? no record company to share profits with and sell merchandise outside venue themselves. I imagine the outside sales still require some $$ going to venue and promoters but I'd imagine PJ gets more of the merchandise than most.
Dimi, any chance the home of the 2013 Men's college basketball National Champions (before they had to vacate it) getting a show? Maybe between St. Louis and Nashville?
Most venues take 60 % of merch sales. And thats industry standard.
i think one of the reasons pj got that company to deal with their merch..msurt is cos they venues fucked them over in merch slaes in the past.

That's why I can't understand why they don't sell more concert merch on their website. They could cut out several middle men.

im sure u need lisence and pay for rent the place your truck will sell the shirts..probably is ion the parking lot of the venue.,.im sure the venue will not let u do it for free

PJ doesn't tour that much. So every few years for a short period of time they'd need a massive influx of staff to handle those orders. It's probably easier to farm it out then hire a bunch of temp workers and hope for the best.
Dimi, any chance the home of the 2013 Men's college basketball National Champions (before they had to vacate it) getting a show? Maybe between St. Louis and Nashville?
is that the one has Rick pitino as coach u talking about?

We know the tour starts and ends in blue states, but we are yet to learn any specific blue state shows.

dang if that's true then it makes sense (especially due to demand) for PJ to set up booths outside of the venue.
