Majestic McMoose Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 You should care because it directly influences their band and their music. in the post about the travis twitter fight you agreed when someone said that how they act should not affect the enjoyment of the music at all. stick to a line or argument at least. also if the prices for tickets and merch etc bothers you so much and you get in such a fit about how no one on here is being object (agreeing with you) then just accept that people dont agree with you and get the fuck over it. some people will happily pay those prices, and you wont so accept it and move on. its exhausting seeing every topic that could be a decent discussion turn into you bitching and whining about how you hate how much blink are a business.

Thibaut182 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 That's expensive !I wished that they released more merchandise during the Dude Ranch and EOTS Era.Anyone have links from where i could buy old t-shirts from Blink ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostdope182 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I don't care what part of the planet you live on or how far a band had to come, not only is it fucking pathetic and scummy to charge 45$ for a fucking t-shirt, but you also have to be the biggest idiot in the world to spend that much on one. Especially since you can most likely just go to your local "hot topic" or whatever its called near you and buy the same shirt for 15-20$, maybe even a better deal online.

IenjoyLongWalks Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Call me an idiot then because I bought two. No regrets. On this side of the world, $45 is actually standard for a t-shirt (unless you go to KMart), if not cheaper. I can't get a branded t-shirt cheaper than that here. We also don't have Hot Topic and if we want something from Hot Topic, it's a minimum of $30 postage. So, find me a t-shirt that I can have shipped here that has those tour dates on it.

I'm sure you have something of the equivalent of a hot topic, and you could of definalty gotten two shirts with postage online for the price of one if you looked around good enough, but I'm just saying. Whatever floats your boat, its just redic that they'd make you pay that much, as almost 50$ is what those douche ed hardy shirts costs lol.

IenjoyLongWalks Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Lol we don't have the equivalent of a hot topic here. Nothing even comes close. The nearest thing would Asians at a market stall selling shitty knock offs. Alright I'll look has to find a shirt with those tour dates on them then and see what i find.

High Value Man Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I personally don't understand buying any concert merchandise. Can someone please explain the point of it? All the extremely overpriced shit they sell at that booth can basically be had for pennies on the dollar elsewhere. If I want a T-Shirt that says "Blink 182" I can get it for $5 on ebay. So its not "official merchandise". So what? If you are buying something to remember the occasion, just think you have a ticket stub in your hand, you most likely have a camera. That will be what you cherish years down the road, not some stupid shirt. Most of those shirts have terrible designs anyway. They aren't interesting. They aren't anything I would want to walk around wearing. What else do they got at the shit booth that I am missing out on? Pins, stickers, buttons? Posters? Earplugs?

Mau5 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's subjective - I bought one of the tour shirts that I personally still wear to this day cause it's a fucking sick shirt. But more than that, it definitely does remind of the tour much more than a stub does and I actually can't wait how vintage it'll look down the road. Something to pass off to my kid someday.

darkarrow Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Most bands survive on the merch that they sell at their shows. Obviously this is not the case for blink at this point but when I see lesser known bands I like getting a shirt to show my support of the band.

I agree that was one of the best designed shirts they've had. I remember that from the 09 tour. I also remember it being like $40 at least. I still can't see paying $40 for a shirt that cost less than $5 to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
