Seeing #Metallica charge €55 for T-shirts in their Paris pop up store honestly makes me love the band just a little bit less.

@killyourfm 40 USD for an #MCR shirt at the most recent concert I went to, rough but at least the glow in the dark ink is really tough lol no fading to be seen.

@killyourfm 55€ is insane. I remember a time when shirts were 30€ or less. And even with 30€ I thought about buying one twice.

@chrishazfun i could accept that price, especially since it has something special to it. Cool Tee!

@mforester I know Metallica gives certain proceeds to charity but come on…. I already spent more than €400 on tickets, the flight here, the hotel, the Ubers. “Bleeding Me” indeed….

@killyourfm The charity donation just doesn't sit right when a band's net worth is insane and we're just regular people. Not to shit talk U2... But a friend of mine justified U2s insane ticket prices with the bands charitable contributions.

@Stretch882 I'm with you. There is ZERO justification for concert ticket prices, by any band, period. I at least applaud Pearl Jam for TRYING to fight the good fight against Ticketmaster back in the day.

These badass #Metallica shorts help ease my frustration a tiny bit, though...

@killyourfm Seems most artists still have a rough time after the pandemic. Lots of smaller shows I have tickets for get postponed to fill the venue. Tshirts are getting expensive. I try and buy a few things of Bandcamp fridays to keep my treasured bands going.

@cpy This is certainly not hard evidence in support of that, but Metallica's shows here are at Stade de France, an 80K capacity stadium. The entire top row was tarped off, the lower seats weren't packed, and there was breathing room on the ground. That never happened before COVID.

@killyourfm my Dream Theater t-shirt at the concert store was 40€, and considering how crappy its quality is, I felt a bit robbed too 😂 I can accept higher prices for t-shirts, since for most bands merchandise is the ON;LY way to get money (they certainly don't get a buck from Spotify & co, and touring is expensive). I wouldn't say Metallica need that kind of dough, though

@killyourfm dude, I can’t go into a store and find a T-shirt for less than $55 these days. 🤣 especially if you want something that isn’t just a “box”.
