Yes. They are wearing a shirt that says "Alice Cooper" and has a spider on it.

I also saw a vintage "Love it to Death" Tour jersey at the last show in Sioux Falls. I don't recall seing these at the three previous shows I attended.

Last year I noticed that alot of the t-shirts at the Show at Foxwood's were considerably lower in price than they were 6 days earlier at the Boston show. I remember being mad as I had purchased every shirt that was available in Boston. If my memory is correct some shirts in Boston were $45 and 30 ish at Foxwood's.
I have seen this a couple times (where the price varies), but I have never seen regular concert tees for as high as $45!

I'm pretty sure that a couple of them were $45 in Vegas last year...

Maybe they thought we all gambled and won.

Actually, funny story. In April my Dad and I went to see Tesla perform at a local venue. There were two opening acts that the general consensus was "who?" and then Tesla was headlining.

As we walked past the merch table post-show, we saw these prices.
Tesla t-shirt--$30
opening act t-shirt--$45!

I tell you, there was a lot of pointing at that price tag! That takes guts to price your merch at that price when no one even knows who you are, and the headliner is cheaper!

Wow...$35 tends to be the going rate around here for concert tees. Even the shows I have traveled further for the shirts seem to top out at $35. I am talking your average concert tee not like a 3/4 sleeve shirt or anything like that. Must be certain areas that they think they can get more for the shirts.

I would say most I see are $30-$35. The Alice shirt I bought when i traveled to Boston last year was $40 (or $45?), but that was, in fact, a 3/4 sleeve.

I was somewhat disappointed by the shirt selection. Although the graphics were great, all of the shirts were full design, front and back. I think he should take a cue from BOC and have some polos, or shirt with smaller graphics on front. Even the ladies shirt was a full design on front. Also, the bandana was very cheaply made. Of course, I bought some shirts, but of the 50+ Alice shirts, I probably only wear about 5, and most of them are from Cooperstown. Of course, you can wait til next year and get many of them for half the price on fanfire.

Can anyone else make out some of the items on the far right hand side? I see a bandana and a poster? Can anyone tell me what's on the other side or are you having the same trouble making them out?

It can depend on the venue, as well, as some venues (or maybe all) require a fee or percentage for all merchandise that is sold.

There's was also some other cool items for sale: ($USD)

Shotglass (clear, with the Alice Eyes in white...very cool $10)

Autographed (by Alice) ACAS CD ($40)

Autographed (by band) drumhead ($30)

Bandanna (Theatre of Death logos..black and white..very cool.. $15)

Sticker set (most of the art from the ACAS CD... $10??)

There was a few other things I believe...a teddy bear I think? A keychain...probably a few things I'm missing. I thought there was a nice selection of stuff to buy. :alice:
Ohhh i don't know what I'm gonna get this year. Definitley a Teddy Bear, always wanted one of those just never got one. Bandana too, Sticker Set sounds cool, Keychain, maybe the signed ACAS CD, but I might as well get alice to sign that when i meet him. Shotglass sound wicked. And of course T-Shirts which I always go crazy with. But there's a lot to choose from this year. I'll have to see when december comes!! :alice:

Because of a death, we had to "eat" our tickets to the Clearfield PA show, but still have a handful coming up. Could someone who has been to a show verify that if credit cards were being accepted at the merchandise table? Someone told me "no", but I find that hard to believe in today's world where impulse buying would increase their sales. Thanks!

Interesting question. I can't recall seeing credit cards taken at any merch table at any show I've been to (Alice or other)....but never even thought about using a card. I'd think that'd make the lines and wait time longer and work for the sellers just that much more involved.
