Looks like this has been a worthwhile thread for you Dave :tatice_03:

Yes, it has - and all because of a casual comment about the problems of storing T shirts. 

Worthwhile for the band rather than for me personally, all the money is rolled back into the band. I believe we sold over £400-00 worth of T shirts when we were in Germany in June.

That's not too bad. Was that a tour or one gig ?

Three nights at one venue, and no song repeated - total of 8 or 9 hours playing, I believe. A German couple  were selling tie-dye shirts there and offered to have ours on their table - but insisted that 15 euros wasn't enough so sold them for 25 each - and shifted the lot! It was hard to get them to accept some money for their work, but we managed in the end. Very good people.

That's a lot of learning Dave.

The T shirts price at gigs needs to be a balance i reckon. Any gigs i've been to with cover or tribute bands you'd be looking at £15 - £20 for a T shirt.

Ours are usually £15 - but prices/values vary abroad. Our shirts are all tie-dyed by hand by a specialist in Devon, and then screen printed with the name of the band and a logo, so there's not a lot of profit in them, but they get the name out there among people who will hopefully want to find out more about the band when they see the shirts.
