Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) If the price of the merchandise is reflective of the ticket prices...better take out a second mortgage.

Ya, we were lucky here in Minnesota with the best seats being only $70 Also, I thought I read that on Iron Maiden's tour, tour shirts were $50 so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same for Rush.

fordgt99 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 With the top shirt on Rush's website being $39 (so far), I hope prices are similar at the show. Having said that, I think the prices we have seen online are a little too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I think the prices we have seen online are a little too high. They may go down after the tour is over. I was doing work with a very established musician that kept his internet merch prices the same as he was selling them at the shows for. He wanted to keep an even playing field for the fans so if they purchased something at the show they wouldn't be disappointed to find out it would have been cheaper if they waited and bought it online. Also keep in mind that most venues take 40-50% of the merch sales and that doesn't to help keep merch prices low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briremo Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I've seen other bands with shirts in the $25 range and some others in the $60 range (Spyro Gyro). I will NOT be buying a tour book because all the photos are from the last tour, which is asinine if you ask me. I know it would be impossible to sell pics from this in this tour's tour book, but I want pics from this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Last shirt I bought was on the presto tour. I thought that it was expensive then. Besides, I am too fat to wear one now. Come to think of it, I was too fat then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you see sold at the Backstage Club is what's sold at the gigs and at the same price, at least the newer t-shirts supporting the new album/tour. (The t-shirts for older albums at the Backstage Club aren't usually brought along for sale at gigs, just the new stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzbear2000 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Ah, thanks. Well, I'm glad to see that the price of the shirt with the tour dates isn't too expensive. Edited July 3, 2010 by fonzbear2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a couple of those bottles months ago on the Live Nation Website. I never got them. Typical....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone on here who's been to one of the shows so far must know. The site only has 4 shirt designs for the tour up so far. I would image there are a few more (and shirts for the ladies too). Also on the comment about the tour book, didn't the S&A book have some pics from the R30 tour? I'll have to look at mine later, but want to say it does have R30 tour pics.
