Four of the most iconic rock tees of all time. Sadly I can't say I designed any of them but damn these are good.

Every now and then, I have to take a second to look at where I’m at, where I’ve been, and where I’m headed. Last night was one of those moments.
It was honestly surreal to be out there watching a band I love, playing for 30,000 people in China with everyone singing along. I still remember seeing the Pixies in small spots like the Ventura Theater and the Palace, or back when they opened for U2 with the house lights still on. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be at one of their shows in China.
It’s such an honor to work with them because they’re truly wonderful people. Their management, Richard and Ryan, and the whole crew (Simon, Mili, Wilkie, Miles, Matt, Paul, Dave, and Chris) always make me feel right at home. Sorry if I missed anyone. They’re hands down the best people you could ever hope to work with. Thank you guys.
Stay safe and have an amazing #P40 tour. I will see you later this year.
Sorry David for not getting any good photos of you.

Let me start by saying this is not something that any of my clients are dealing with right now. I want to make that clear because this is not targeted at two festivals that I have clients on this weekend who have both been exceptional to work with.
I was speaking with a fellow merchandiser about a festival that is currently happening and how they charge a $250 "admin fee" just to sell the merchandise. This does not include the hall fee which in the past was 30%. Yes, 30% after sales tax (9.75%) and CC Fee (5%)
In my opinion this is not just greed but is also a slap in the face to the artists. Most artists on small festivals do~ $1k average so that $250 is really equal to another 25% technically more since the hall fee is taken after CC and Sales Tax is backed out. Bands and Managers if your agent told you the merch rate was effectively going to be 55% I would sure as hell hope you would tell them absolutely no. My guess is that they just don't want the bands to sell because they could lose money doing so.
I always try to look at things from all sides instead of just yelling No Hall Fees. The reality is most venues make more than we as a company do on the merch sales. Festivals aren't cheap to set up. I get it because I am also on that side of things as well. I know how much it costs to set up a really nice set up on the beach. I think most people would be floored.
I am bringing this up because collectively as an industry we have to stand up to things like this. The large artist that might see $250 as a nothing burger should help fight to get rid of things like this because it is hurting the new headliners of tomorrow.
I have been debating talking about the merch / music industry but recently I have felt like it is time to do so. F it.
