Tour Merch

[CADreaming]

Why can't you purchase all the items offered at the shows online? There are several things I would order but I can't find it anywhere.

Right. I'd rather order online, so that way you don't have to worry about carrying it or putting it down during the concert.

It doesn't make sense. It's not like they're going to lose money by making it available online, as well. All that is doing is making the product accessible to more people who will buy it.

[WatchChain]

Make sense? From a marketing standpoint, nothing this band ever does makes sense. But, damn, I LOVE THEM !!!

[CADreaming]

Man. I hoped I had overlooked something. Now I wish I had splurged at the show. :distress:

[CADreaming]

Can anyone help jog my memory by listing as many items you can recall that are not available online? A fellow Ledgie has offered to purchase for me in Cleveland and I need to decide! Thanks all.

[WildHearted]

What comes to mind is that red FM 77 shirt , the posters, and all of the necklaces and stuff.

[Regina]

Necklaces????

[CADreaming]

The posters with the new pic pose - does the horizontal always have the date & city or is there a version without? Did the vertical poster only say "Fleetwood Mac" or was there additional text?

[Neal]

Does anyone know if they did a tourbook this time around? I went to the San Jose, CA show and didn't see any, and I'm assuming pics would've been posted here by now if they did...?

exactly. for this very reason I don't bother with merchandise.

[CADreaming]

Here's a list I found on facebook:

Shot glasses, mugs, iPad cases, beach bags/totes, hats, key chains, magnets, 3 different posters, rubber bracelets, harmonica necklace, set of Fm guitar picks, guitar pick necklace, dog tags, pewter like necklace, different shirts.

******

Apparel at shows only: New promo pic shirt in full color / Red & White Fleetwood Mac '77 jersey

The posters mentioned above I believe are the penguin w/ tour dates (offered online) and the new promo pic horizontal with the venue city and date (shows only) and the vertical new promo pic with the band faces in the 4 corners sort of with Fleetwood Mac Live at the bottom (shows only).

[michelej1]

Harmonica necklace? I'm wondering how it fits in. I mean, which one plays the harmonica?

Michele

[Regina]

They must be mixing up Stevie Nicks with Stevie Wonder.

I know my concert was early but I didn't see half of those things. I'm going again Wednesday so...I will be on the lookout. But, yeah...I hate having those things with me during the concert and, at the end, it's usually a madhouse.

There's a version without it, but it does say, "Rumours 35th Anniversary" under Fleetwood Mac.

:laugh:

Thanks... that's almost right.

Judging from what I see here, I suspect the selection of merchandise varies from each show. The show I just attended in Mansfield, MA didn't have many of things I see in this photo -- the selection of shirts wasn't as vast, and some of the items -- like one of the posters -- wasn't available. Also, the poster I bought - which just featured a retro logo - I didn't see in that photo.

I heard many people balk at the high price of the t-shirts. Most of the designs were not very appealing.

[TimeCastASpell]

The link isn't working for me. The one thing mentioned that I don't remember seeing at the show I was at two weeks ago in Detroit was the iPad case. Anyone have a picture? What's it look like and what was the price?

I'm a sucker for tshirts. Like everywhere I ever go I buy the tshirt. Its almost ridiculous. But I looked online before the show and when I got there I realize whoa they were charging $10 more for shirts in person than online. And still I bought the Landslide shirt and while it was way way huge on me the long sleeved hooded shirt (too thin to call it a hoodie I think which was exactly the appeal). Is the hooded shirt online? I'm very petite so i mostly paid attention to the girly fit stuff when i browsed. I loved the red shirt but came to the concert in a pink penguin logo shirt and figured i needed something different but now im wondering! I kind of liked the harmonica necklace though I couldn't figure out why the harmonica. Why not a little guitar or tambourine? OMG I love the idea of a tiny tambourine way too much...

PenguinHead, the jewelry at my show was in a seperate area than the shirts. So perhaps you missed it somewhere? I can't speak for elsewhere but in Detroit the table that had the jewelry was kind of weird. Like looked like a random person selling a couple of things. It was weird. The table was very sparse and I'm not sure I'd have noticed it myself if not for how crowded the shirt area was. Still seemed baffling that the jewelry was off on its own. Seems like itd sell better if it was with everything else. I know I'd have been more likely to purchase a necklace that way...

This is how it was at the Rosemont show. I remember after locating our seats, my mom and I went walking around because I wanted the mini tour poster and the first table I saw was one like this where there was some jewelry, tablet case, lanyard, the bigger poster etc. It wasn't until we walked around the entire first level that we noticed the huge line for the much bigger merchandise table with the t-shirts and hoodies. I can also recall there being two big merchandise tables at my show in addition to the smaller one.

Agreed.

[jkmaletic]

The thing about ordering online is it sucks if it's thru Fanfire. I had to cancel an order I had because it'd been 6mo and I hadn't received my order. And every tine I called them they gave me the run around.

[CADreaming]

^Wow. Thanks for that warning! I will not use them.

Also, shout out to the Ledgie who went to the trouble of purchasing for me in Cleveland. I thought my opportunity had been lost forever. It's great to know there are fans out there willing to do that.

[UnwoundDreams]

It's the same in the UK too. I remember they were selling a lot of the merchandise available in the US store the last time I checked (Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 tee with tour dates on the back, poster with tour dates); I checked again and the only things available are a plain black t-shirt with the Rumours logo, a Rumours poster (the logo with the track names underneath) and the deluxe and expanded editions.

Are lines for merchandise usually a problem at shows like this? I already own a Rumours t-shirt, but it's custom made and extremely cheap, so I wanted to get a new one at the show in Birmingham, but I don't want to be waiting in line for ages and miss half of the concert.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Here are a few photos of the merchandise. I bought them in Mansfield however they were not at the regular booth. They were in a separate stand on the way out.

I can't speak for the lines before the show since we had a huge parking nightmare and were running a bit late but I had no issue buying my two shirts after the show and took plenty of time to look around. There was a bit of a line but the main place selling the shirts had a wide booth so you could push through and ask questions, ask to see something or buy while others were looking. Honestly I've pretty much always bought merchandise after most shows I've been to in general. They definitely hang around a bit and I know for me by the end of the show I'm so ridiculously hyped up I probably buy even more than I would at the beginning (or have gone back to buy more. Actually even though I bought both my shirts after the FM show I actually paid for them separately because I decided I needed a second one!) So I don't think you should have any real issues. Sounds like there are often more than one booth selling stuff and while I maybe didn't see all of the venue I was at, as I mentioned, the jewelry at my show was separate from the shirts which meant separate lines and places to pay.
