The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I don't think I've spent over $30, but I haven't been to a big name concert in years. Is the lowest $40 these days for an arena show? What about you? Have you spent more than MattleyCrue?

I topped out somewhere around $35 for a T shirt but I've spent a hell of a lot more for some work shirts.

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I have spent thousands, in reality, tens of thousands over time...
But... the good part is... I then sell them and make my money back, and a profit.
Which is nice...

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I score new Madeworn releases for $175 a pop. I have 4 of them sitting on a chair in my kitchen I haven’t wore yet. Stones, Scorps, Aerosmith & the brand new Iron Maiden release. If it’s sick and I like the band I buy. They do new releases every week.
They’re hand made and no two are a like.

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
On EBay?..few hundred bucks for a few- Trixter Hear? white shirt brought me millions of dollars of happiness with that one
Most at show think it was 60$ might have been 80$ retro Jon Bon Jovi shirt looking like Slippery When Wet Jon on front. I was shocked to see on merch stand at Forum show. I definitely bought shirt without looking at price. Asked what price was after it was brought to me

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I think $20, have not bought one in years. I remember paying $12 (Canadian) for a Shout at the Devil shirt in 84 (I still have it), last time I saw it on eBay it went for over $400. I should pull out all the old ones I have and toss them on eBay.

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I’ve been eyeing signed Trixter Hear! shirt on eBay. Only that thing that is holding me up is that it’s signed. I’d rather wear one without signatures. It’s around $125LAglamrocker wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 3:27 pm On EBay?..few hundred bucks for a few- Trixter Hear? white shirt brought me millions of dollars of happiness with that one

Originals? As in, t-shirts we printed 3+ decades ago?
Most bands don''t have stock, 30 years later of a print from that time. Just sayin'

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I paid $400 on eBay for a personally jizzed-in Tuff shirt from the first tour.
Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
Probably $30 or so. I happened to see a Quireboys t-shirt at a thrift store here in town last week. It was from 1993 and priced at $120 CDN.
I was wondering what sort of dummy would buy that.
I guess I know now...

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I have 3 Tuff original shirts stored safely
Gone one reserved for each grunge kid from Nirvana-Pearl Jam and Soundgarden- each kid enjoys some happiness in life
It’s almost more fun to strike out on shirts. At one of Poison shows at Gibson Amp I saw dude in Lillian Axe Poetic Justice tour shirt. I asked him I would give him 150$ and any shirt at Poison merch stand. He thought over it then politely said “no”. He told me about the tour he saw then I told him I saw Psychoschizophrenia tour.
Recently I regret not getting Green Jelly shirt- new with 3 pigs on it

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
I love that move! I have done same! Offered people money for tee. The one time I did that the gentleman declined as well. Vintage shirts are so much fun. Just got a 3x Danger Danger 1990 shirt back from dry cleaner. White tee says NAUGHTY NAUGHTY on back, thought it would be smaller as a 3x from 1990 thought would fit like XL or maybe XXL but this thing is massive! Oh well I’ll rock it to bed!LAglamrocker wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 5:22 pm I have 3 Tuff original shirts stored safely

Hey, Mattie, I have a one of a kind "Stevie Rachelle Cocked Blocked Me" TUFF shirt that I'll sell you. It's a medium, though. Authorized by the CEO himself. Heck, he sent me the logo.
@ Stevie...you need to sell those.

Back around 88 or so was when they went to $20. That's when I was out. Switched to bootlegs.

Re: The most you've spent on a band t-shirt
It seems like $40 is abut as cheap as it gets at a show? I can't remember paying anything more than $50.
Some of the bootleg shirts are better than ones you get at the show, and 1/4 the price. I have some that are still in good shape years later.
