TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So. Now hearing that they're $45 at the shows. Any confirmation on that? Dang, raising the price partway through a tour? Laaaaame. I don't know what thread I posted this in before it was recent purchases, saw the peach and just assumed it was this thread. Not ready to make a trade thread until I have it in hand...but if anyone is looking to get a grey and missed out on it before and has a green SSTB they'd like to trade to me I'm in on that deal.

Sad Heart Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So. Now hearing that they're $45 at the shows. Any confirmation on that? Yes, I paid $45 at Denver. They were $40 before my date. Same with PFI, it was $15 before and $20 at my date. Seems all vinyl went up $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 UNLESS!!! I've heard that each venue gets a different percentage cut of merch from bands. This forces the bands to adjust the asking price for their stuff to accomodate what the venue demands. I believe generally it's between 10% and 20% of sales. Don't quote me on that as it's been a very long while since I've helped bands locally with merch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well, were shirt prices raised too? That would help determine it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danionly Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Another annoying merch question (sorry ) I didn't see it in the photos, but did they have this shirt at any of the shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks! Just trying to figure out how much cash I'm gonna need to bring. I ended up taking like $120 just in case I could snag multiple copies for board folks, so I had extra money for beer and ended up buying one of the raglan t-shirts and a Prize Fighter Inferno 10" . Thinking I maybe should have passed on PFI, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Shirts were $25 at my date. Same for the previous dates I've see. Only record prices were changed. It's possible that the venue (Fillmore - Denver) took a higher percent and they raised prices to compensate, but damn, the amount of merch they had was insane. There were people at the table for the ENTIRE show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If you're charged a higher %, it makes sense to raise it on the items you KNOW you'll sell. They're guaranteed $1,600 a night on IKSSE vinyl alone. Though I'd be willing to bet they just raised it to raise it. Another guaranteed $200.

You don't get charged a percentage on things you don't sell, and you get charged the same percentage on everything you do sell...So you'd just raise it on all of the stuff, rather than take a bath on shirts, and make more money on vinyl.

jhulud Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Let's see how crazy it gets tomorrow in Orlando. I have Platinum so I'm sure I'll be able to snag a copy unless for some reason they "limit" a number for each "group" in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm getting a copy for myself. If they're really limiting one per person, then no-can-do dude. Let's see what I can get out of the merch guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kforkevin777 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Heading out in the morning to head to Orlando for the show. My cousin has a gold pass so I'm gonna pass him some money and see if he can get me a copy. It's going to be fucking nuts. I think we decided to just sit back and drink during the show. The last two times we saw them it was just nuts and I'm not sure I can make it out alive a third time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I, for one, am going right to the balcony. I enjoyed them from there the last few times. Last time was when I met Juan actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Don Volante Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not sure where i'll be for this one. I feel like i'm getting too old for the rowdiness. Might just hang out near the bar or the balcony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just hang out near the bar or the balcony.This'll be what I'm doing. I probably won't be in the main bar area but on the balcony where I can enjoy the band and get drunk. I usually love going to shows and being right in the middle of it, but Coheed is the only band I've seen where I actually thought I might get suffocated by the crowd before the end. See you fellas there.I, for one, am going right to the balcony. I enjoyed them from there the last few times. Last time was when I met Juan actually...This is the post I meant to quite, but the other holds true too. Haha.This. Broke my glasses last time and had to spend $200 the next day for new ones. See you at the bar, bro Yeah, the first time I saw them I got kicked in the face while wearing my glasses and they almost broke. That was the last time I wore my glasses to a show.

tj187 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sounds like I'll be able to recognize all the VC members at the show. We all be on the balcony, shielding our tour vinyl from the crowd (if we are lucky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
