It's cool thinking about all the behind the scenes marketing and branding staff who work so hard getting all the merch ready for the shows.
Each concert has a limited edition poster(s), t-shirts, vinyl record... Its a collector's dream. The posters are already being scalped for $350+ from what I saw.
Not sure if you guys noticed, but each of those pressed vinyl records they were selling were created in the city's sports team colors.
Same with the poster themes and imagery. Chicago had a bear, Minnesota had a viking, Boston's had a patriot...
Edmonton's pop-up show poster had a dead deer/Elks person on it. I wonder what they would of had if they were still the Eskimos. ha ha
Iron Maiden is another band that comes to mind for doing this kind of this stuff. Always pretty targeted merch.
