After buying a shirt and the keychain, I'm a little disappointed. The shirt is a little thin (compared to the $5 bootlegs they were selling outside the venue) and I could easily bend the keychain. Bummer.
Speaking of the bootleg shirts, what do you think of them?
$40 for a t-shirt?
Sorry Trent, but that is not happening. Holy bananas.
I regret not getting one of those $40 T-shirts at the Phoenix show last weekend....haven't bought a concert Tee in a while and got sticker shock.....
Is there anyone out there going to an upcoming show that would be willing to pick me up one if I PayPal you the money after you confirm you have it?

That's the shirt I am hoping will be at the show I am going to. Anyone else able to confirm that this shirt was indeed at every other date?
Only decent shirt on the tour in my opinion.
If you still have the shirt and I can't get a medium I will buy a small and trade with you..but won't know until Monday.

I chose not to buy a tee last week at the show and went on Rockabilia when I got home. I bought the two Hesitation Marks tees they had and was pretty satisfied. $19.95 each was a lot more favorable to me than $40.
just in case people do not know, the venue gets usually 15% to 20% of the merch sales. Hence the high prices.
Regardless of all the hands in the pot i've been to many, many, many arena shows that have charged $30-$35 for a shirt. Never seen a $40 beanie or a $15 keychain in my life.
Then again I bought a shirt, a hoodie, a keychain and both posters so i'll go sit down now.
EDIT: $45 beanie. My mistake.

I'm looking for a few things from this tour and past tours. From this tour a tour dates poster and a keychain. From LITS tour a 1000000 shirt, a Discipline shirt, a Corona Radiata shirt all in XL. Please message me if you have any of these, I will pay through paypal. Thanks
I can't remember what I paid for my other NIN shirts from previous tours but I paid $40 for my Depeche Mode shirt when I saw them in September. What I'm bummed about is the quality. My NIN shirt is really thin, yet my DP shirt is thick. Ok, so they are different shirt brands and my NIN is a women's shirt and my DP shirt is a men's shirt. Oh, I'm pretty sure they were charging $40 for the beenie at the Staples Center. I thought the selection of women's shirts was pretty disappointing at the merch booth for the level I sat in. (I didn't get the shirt I really wanted.)
I know I already asked this question, but I didn't a response, so I'll ask it again. What do you guys think about the bootleg shirts they sell for $5-10 outside the venue?
Even though I'm not a fan of most of the merch designs this time around, I've still never seen a bootleg shirt I've liked enough to wear for free, let alone pay for. But that's probably the artist snob in me. I mean honestly, a fan designed shirt would look better. AND have the CURRENT band lineup and album era design.
I have bought multiple tour shirts over the years and I have never paid or seen more than $35 for a shirt. Not to mention I have never seen a $45 beanie in my life. This includes NIN shirts. During the NINJA tour I bought a shirt in the venue for $30 and one in the parking lot for $15. During the With Teeth tour I paid $25 for one and $30 for another.
Up in Canada, $30-35 for an official tour shirt would be a STEAL. Shirts up here are usually $5-10 more than in the USA. Our tour t-shirt prices are usually $40-45. Usually closer to $40. So $40 for a t-shirt is a pretty standard price if you ask me.
I once paid $50 for a TOOL tour t-shirt up here. I don't think i'll be doing that again.
I prefer the thin, softer shirts. They're much more flattering and feel so nice.
I was going to buy merch at my last show in Portland last week but then I went and lost my bank card in Vegas and couldn't buy anything
I hope excess merch will be put up online.
I to am hoping excess merch will be available online.
I'm hoping the merch designs are much better next year
