I plunked down $25 each for shirts by Into Eternity and Epica when I caught their show in ATL. Money well spent.

Plus, as the "Q" mentions about food & beer, they last a couple of hours so I hope the shirt will outlast those disposable items as expensive as they are at the show. You can have a shirt for $35 or food & 3 beers for the same.

I'm going w/the cloth.

Quite often I choose the alcohol over the shirts, but not at the last Symphony X show, for some reason.

Just a lil FYI for those of you that are going to buy those Maiden shows at future gigs! This is from the Official Iron Maiden Fan Club Forum:

I maybe just bitching a little but the material for the shirts this tour suck!!!!!
I paid 80.00 for two shirts. I got home and washed (cold) them and they already turning into crap! I held them up to the light and you can see though them.

Just pissess me off that you spend good money for a shirt and they use cheap ass material!

Kitty....sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up and exchange hellos

.....show was flat out amazing, although asking me what I thought of any Maiden show isn't exactly fair cause they are the greatest band on the planet afterall!!

I passed on the tour shirt this time - on a budget. I saw the "LA Palm Tree" shirt on e-bay....some yahoo was hocking it for over $100 bucks. Sick.
