Anyone know how much Maiden shirts are going for the at the shows? And how is the quality? What other merchandise is available?
Wow.... 'Cause it's totally fair to charge $35 for an Iron Maiden shirt...
They kind of have to... The big venues like that, be it stadiums, amphitheaters, etc... typically charge a much higher percentage of merch sales from the artist than small clubs or bars do. Whereas smaller clubs and bars charge 10-20% (if they charge anything at all), the bigger venues of that size and caliber charge anywhere between 30-50% of merch sales, which can be crippling to a band's bottom line unless they charge more to compensate. Hence why your merch prices are higher 99% of the time at big shows as opposed to smaller venues.
Come on Brent, you think I don't know the whole BS that goes on behind it? It was more of a "Seriously, you can find Maiden shirts at Kohls or Sears nowadays, don't buy it at the concert!" thing.

AMEN Metal Brother! But I've really got a really good feeling about this new CD!
Mainly because AMOLAD was WAY more progressive than just about anything Maiden's
ever done, (and NOT that that's a bad thing! ) so I really think this new album is gonna (hopefully w/ fingers crossed!)
have that killer Heavy old skool Maiden sound!
I was just in JC Penny and they were clearing out Size S, Iron Maiden "Eddie-playing-bass" t-shirts for $1.97...
Last summer at Kohls I got the 1st album cover shirt (with the IRON MAIDEN logo going down the side) for $4.99.
I will have to check my local Penny's.
Anyhow, that mother f*ckin' coffee tumbler's mine!!!!!
Also, I can't decide if I love or hate that El Dorado shirt.
It's one of those where when I look at it, my opinion changes back and forth. Not sure why.
Cool because of the comic book style, but not cool because it's a departure from the standard Maiden shirt design.
Man, for Chicago it would be awesome if they had a shirt of Eddie hoisting the Stanley Cup!!!!
