Concert Merchandise: Must Haves

[Skybird14]

When you go to a concert is there a particular type of merchandise that you always like to buy or are you the kind of person that doesn't like to buy much merchandise?

I always buy a tour programme at one show. I always browse the merch stand .. but for a long time the Tshirts are like the misquote of Henry Ford .. you can have it in any colour as long as it's black .. lol I never wear black, so I've stopped buying Ts .. and tend to have my own printed. I think the last one I bought (though I've had many from packages) was for the Best Of UK tour. That two was black, but I loved the picture of Meat on it

I've bought a few stuffed toys .. the dog from Hair Of was the last I think. Next tour I'll be too busy selling for LFTT at shows to buy much myself .. lol

I spend a lot of time working with images, turning them into pieces of art, so a concert programme is a must. Usually concert programmes have some beautiful images which are large enough to use on desktop images although I didn't find as many in the Hang Cool Tour programme that I liked as much as some of the previous tour programmes.

I like to buy a t-shirt or something but some artists merchandise can be so expensive that I don't always bother. I bought a hoodie at Meat's concert for the same price as they were selling t-shirts for at the Neil Diamond concert.

I will always take money for merchandise if I go to any future Meat Loaf concerts so the option is always there to buy if I want to.

I like to have a program and a tee-shirt, though, I'm with Caryl, I do wish shirts were offered in a color other than black !

S ... xo

T shirts and a program and I'm all set

I go for the Tour book or Program. I will also seek out the next favorite ball cap as I coach on the soccer fields and it's quite bright. I love my HCTB fitted ball cap. I don't wear that as much because they were limited. But it's so comfy.

I get the hoodie. I know it's odd for Florida. In fact one concert during the summer I asked the merchandise guy if they had any hoodies.....he said it's freakin' 100 degrees down here why would you need a hoodie. Rolled eyes......because the air conditioner in some of the stores will make your snot freeze. Really dude, a hoodie is always comfy to have. Last one I got was Seize the Night 2007. But, I do have the track jacket off .net.

Tshirts.....if it has a nice pic of Meat on it, I'll pick that up.

Misc....I like the jewelry like the necklaces off HCTB or the tour prior they had the metal pics on them. That was a cool find, also the new key chain or shot glass. Sometimes they have autographed promo pics in a decent size....I did get a nice one from the show in NY, not realizing we also got a signed poster at the end of the show for VIP ticket holders. It was a different pic though...so it wasn't all for not.

I like to shop the merch tents!



Some shows later in the tour have different merchandise. So, I didn't get everything at once. It was nice to get things from Florida and different things in NY.

I think the only thing I'd consider buying is t-shirt but I'd only buy one if I liked the design and it wasn't too expensive.
