I can hardly talk as i buy Gaga merch but celeb merch is a huge rip off ! there just basic shirts that you could literally buy from primark for £8, half of it looks cheap and never matches up to what it looks like on the website.

No wonder I didn't buy a shirt at TMB. at least the tee's are somewhat reasonable price now ($35) but even then the quality ain't all that great. I think the quality back in '09/10/11 was better than now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it's always hit or miss, depending on the artist. You're paying for the name and the exclusivity, quality is an added bonus. I never really regret spending money on music, be it live experiences, CDs/vinyls, or merch. If I love the artist enough to dish out the cash, I'm generally happy with what I get. I genuinely love the aesthetic for the Chromatica merch. I have been happy with the quality for everything I have purchased so far, also. i don't remember ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind paying $50 for a tee given the materials and application were a reflection of the price and aren't just the cheapest way of producing but jacking up the price for maximum profit.

Yea, I think there's a lot that goes into it: materials available, estimated demand, realistic turnaround time, marketable pricing, etc. I think it's probably a little more challenging to find the right balance of these when selling the quantities someone of Gaga's following dictates. i don't remember ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i love collecting vinyls/rare items just recently and haven't regret the money I've spent on Gaga at all considering I've missed a lot during the years. So far with Chromatica, i love all the stuff I've brought ! especially the UK shop. This is the first time they've including the LADY GAGA logo inside the shirts as oppose to just a regular S/M tag.

This! I'm thinking for once they've all come from the same factory whereas before the UK merch seemed so sketchy with the S/M/L/XL/XXL tag inside.
