Why You Pay $35 for a Tour Shirt
I was reading the recent edition of Rolling Stone and they were pointing out the reasons why we pay so much for a concert T-shirt. Here is what they said:
$3.98 – Taxes and fees
$7.76 – Venue fee split between vendor and promoter
$9.26 – The merchant company takes a big chunk for expenses
$14.00 – What the band finally ends up with – 40%
Wow, I never even thought about that. That sucks.
