theprestobunnies Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm sorry if this question has been answered already but I was wonder what the prices are on r40 merchandice. I am definitely going to buy a shirt, am I looking at around $30 for it? They're more this time. http://www.rushbackstage.com/ Is there more available at the show or is this everything?

Apollo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Blecchh. Bootleg lot shirts always suck. The logos wash away after one rinses, the quality is always poor...too heavy fabric or too weak. Just not worth it. I would disagree, shirts are always a crapshoot. I have good and bad bootleg shirts and good and bad official shirts. I just wish groups would make more non-black shirts. Bought the official red CA tour shirt just because it wasn't black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I just got my football jersey on Friday and I was a little disappointed. I much rather would have like a baseball jersey instead.the football jersey was not as high a quality as items in the past they are using a different company this year. they do have a bigger variety but I don't feel the quality is as good in justifying the higher prices.Can you post a pic of your jersey?

TemplesofLamneth Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 You're looking at $40-45 dollars for a simpler tour shirt. I saw a starman hoody for $100, and a Rush baseball jacket for like $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must not have been selling that well to do that. How much did they discount them? I didn't even check out the merch at the show. T-shirts have gotten way too expensive, not just for Rush but for most bands now. I don't bother getting shirts or other merch anymore. It's not worth the price for a shirt I probably wouldn't wear that often. This is the first Rush show i've been to where I didn't at least pass by the merch and have a look at what was there. When people are paying $70-$100 for a ticket, I think asking $40 for a shirt is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happened back when I saw Ozzy in 1992. I was a naive 14 year old kid who was only at his second rock show ever and I bought a shirt from a guy on the street after the show. "Only $10 bucks? Wow! What a deal! They were selling them for $20 in the venue" I thought to myself. I think I only wore it once or twice before my mom washed it and the colors started to run on it and the shirt was ruined. To my dad's credit, he did try to warn about getting the shirt but I did not listen. I haven't bought a bootleg shirt since then. But every time I see someone doing it, including after the show last night, I always think to myself "What the hell are you doing?" I guess a lot of people just don't know or don't care that they are more than likely being ripped off. Edited June 11, 2015 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of people just don't know or don't care that they are more than likely being ripped off. Exactly. It's pretty obvious to check the fabric material of a bootlegger shirt and know whether it's worth it or not. The official merch is always pricier, yes, and even their stuff is sometimes low quality. Concert shirts are generally low quality across the board. However...I will say that Rush's merch tends to be offered at a higher quality overall than other bands' stuff.

AnOunceOfPerception Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) There is NO way I am going to the concert and NOT getting a shirt. I will go without food and wine for a few days. I have a shirt from every concert I ever attended and this one will be no different.Besides, if you don't go to the concert you can't wear the shirt. That was the rule back in the day anyways..

(or wait until I see what they charge for it online) I have a Rush shirt and tour book from every tour I've attended. I didn't get a Primus shirt...I didn't get a Steven Wilson shirt...

Even though I don't get concert shirts anymore, I have always believed in that rule and always will. It always bothers me when I see a younger person wearing a vintage tour shirt like "Led Zeppelin World Tour 1973" as if they were there when they weren't even born yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
