The new 2014 tour items are up for sale on Paul's main site.
A lot of new items!
Thanks, now look what I have found! http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=89077 By the way, these same t-shirts were being sold at lower prices (20%-30% less) in South America. I wonder why they are charging more from the US fans?
Nice find. Difference in cost is the difference in "cost of living".

It makes sense. Prices are usually higher in Brazil than in other South American countries as well.

Last time I bought one of Paul's shirts at a concert it was $25.00. Now up to $40.00! Ridiculous!

I wonder why the twilight event shirts are only for Albany, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Fargo, Lincoln, Kansas City, Lubbock, Dallas, and New Orleans? It skipped random places like Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Missoula and went all the way to some of October's dates. And I am guessing that Los Angeles and San Francisco will have different shirts? I wonder what is up with that..
-
WOW!...I think I'll be getting the new black shirt with dates (70's macca at piano) and the new keychain for 2014. There's a lot of other stuff I'd like to get but I just don't know...four buttons for $15....I have a lanyard for every tour but for $20...yikes....the lunchbox and beach towel are unique as well but the price is just NOT right. Maybe if they're still left at Christmastime I'll do some asking....
-
Didn't someone mention red or yellow shirts? Maybe that was for Budakan.

Sadly the quality of the t-shirts doesn't justify the price to me and the programs are too expensive also. Will settle on the concert and VIP goodies and be done.

Interesting to see your comment about the quality of the t-shirts. I have about 7 shirts purchased from 2010 to 2013 and mine are all still in great shape even after wearing/washing them tons of times. Have you had bad luck with some of yours?

I've had mixed qualities. I bought two shirts in '09. One looks brand new, the other I don't even wear anymore because the decal would probably disintegrate. The same scenario for the two shirts I bought in 2010. 2011 & 2012 I slimmed down to one shirt per year, those are both VERY thin shirts, but the decals have held. In 2013 I got back to two shirts and they're probably the best two I've bought so far. I find it interesting also that in 2009 the shirts were $30, then in 2010 they jumped to $40 and have maintained. The quality hasn't changed $10 worth in my opinion, so is this just fan exploitation?

Thanks for your input Wixrocks. I guess I've been pretty lucky with the ones I've purchased! I didn't get any shirts in 2012 since I didn't see Paul that year, but did in 2010, 2011 and 2013. I think $40 is about the going rate now for concert shirts all across the board now sadly, I've noticed even at a few of the non Paul concerts I've been to recently they were the same price.
-
$40-45 is just the going rate for concert shirts these days. It's what the market will bear. I've been to a few w shows where the show cost me $30, and the shirts were more expensive. I don't buy many shirts any more.
-
I've noticed it as well. $40 is about average. Thinking back to the concert shirts I've bought in the past year... -Ringo Starr: $25 -Billy Joel: $40 -Elton John: $40 -Jeff Beck/Brian Wilson: $30 -The Beach Boys: $20 -Paul McCartney: $40 Technically if you average them it comes to $32...

The shirts at the Sting/Paul Simon concert I went to in Feb. were $40 as well. Good to see the price of Ringo's shirts. I'm seeing him for the first time next Sunday and plan to get a t-shirt.

Wow, I see so many new goodies I want! I got quite a bit of merch last year though, including a hoodie, a couple of shirts, a keychain and program. Unfortunately I recently became unemployed so cannot afford much this time around, but will hopefully be able to get a shirt, keychain, new program and that 'twilight' poster. I will actually have a poster tube with me that I'll be using to carry my sign in. Hopefully some of the other items will still be available later on...
-
I wish there were more colors for the shirts.

Maybe tonight in Albany there will be some different stuff.

IMO, the shirts are very thin. That is my biggest complaint. A friend has made some for a group of us and they are organic cotton and cost $20 shipped. Much cooler designs also. I buy hers or none these days. I also do not like black shirts because I have a cat that sheds all over them. Don't really care for white either because they are so thin. I just go right past the merchandise stand.
-
I remember getting a t-shirt from Paul's online store and thinking it was very thin indeed, while others had better quality. I also received a New Kids On The Block t-shirt once by mistake, instead of the McCartney t-shirt that I had ordered.
-
I just tried to order 9 items from the new merch selection and they quoted me $107 shipping because I'm outside the US! I guess I'll wait for the shows, there is no way I'm paying that!
