It's a killer design, especially with Eddie in the background wearing the 'Cracking the West Coast' shirt. Lovely detail.
I agree with you Titoagogo...It are the big bands who charge these ridiculous prices. Maiden, Rammstein, Guns 'N Roses, to name a few. Very likely, due to the huge amounts of shirts produced for a tour, their production costs are extremely low. The could easily sell for 20$ a shirt and still make a huge profit. I rather spend my money on underground independent bands who need the money to record a new record or finance a tour. At least these small bands charge a normal price for their merch, which is probably more expensive to have produced. It's a shame big bands go this way, but they know people buy the shirts irregardless of the price.
Big bands make money off their names. Their names alone are fashionable, thus an increased demand. I prefer underground shirts, as well. 15-20 dollars. 30 for a long sleeve. 2022 Maiden hoody for Legacy tour is now 110.

What is the going rate for an event shirt as of now? 55, I assume?
