Shirking Shirts

Why are concert t-shirts so ridiculously overpriced? I mean, sure they’re special and all that, but really?

$40, $50, $60 for a single t-shirt! It’s ridiculous. They aren’t even that awesome. You can get formal dresses/skirt suits for that price. Its so not cool. Concert tickets are expensive enough, but with the added cost of a shirt, they are  way overpriced. Sometimes, they cost so much that you can’t get a shirt at all. Why do they torture us so???

 

This is the Taylor Swift Speak Now concert shirt. Not too impressive, right? Guess the price: $35

So. Not. Cool.

This is the Gaga shirt, for $40. It's a little more impressive, sure, but for that much, I'd rather skip it. Pictures are enough, and they're free, too!

Why do musicians insist on selling overpriced shirts? Their loyal fans dutifully buy every single album, every EP, tickets to every concert. Do they have to buy freakishly expensive clothing, too?

Thanks for listening,
