Lazy Bones Do you favour tour shirts, programs, pins, stickers, hats or a little of everything?

I go for shirts and pins...

August 30th, 2005 01:16 PM
Angiegirl Maybe a tour program, and a t-shirt if they have nice ones in ladies-cut (I don't wear these large men-shirts). Then again, maybe nothing as everything is too damn expensive and the shirts are bad quality usually, esp. for that price.

56DeSoto I try to pick up ladies-cut shirts at places other than direct from concerts or RollingStones.com. You can get good shirts just about anywhere it seems, without paying through the nose. I've found ladies shirts at Target, Foley's, Hot Topic and local independent clothing stores. My favorite accessory is a silver tongue logo belt buckle. The downside to all this mass merchandising is that when I chat with people I bump into who are wearing Stones merch, I often find that they're not particulary fans of the actual band or music, just fans of the fashion.

glencar The Yesterday's Papers section of rs.com usually has some nice stuff at half off.

Madafaka I'd buy stickers, tour program and the new t-shirts!

I like this one:

Dan I hardly ever buy T shirts or anything anymore. Have way too many T shirts and I hardly ever wear them.
August 30th, 2005 07:23 PM
Soldatti T shirts
August 30th, 2005 08:35 PM
pdog I buy whatever I get suckered into, depends on my mood at the moment. Bought a buch of stuff from licks tour, probably won't so much this tour.
August 30th, 2005 08:48 PM
Sleepy London Clown Virtually nothing, it's all over-priced and quite often poor quality, although some of the Buddhist Punk tees were pretty good. I tend to find a picture I like and make my own, although I have owned a few "classic tongue" tees.
August 30th, 2005 08:53 PM
glencar I think the T shirts are usually fine quality merchandise.
August 30th, 2005 09:16 PM
M.O.W.A.T. Well let's see.

So far:

1 exploding Tongue t-shirt
1 iPod holder
1 lanyard (perfect for ticket @ show -- no digging around for it and it won't get bent)
1 blinking tongue
1 carabiner key chain
2 Rolling Stones wristbands (like the Lance Armstrong ones)

I can see more shit being added to this list by the time Montreal rolls around!
August 30th, 2005 09:54 PM
time is on my side I buy none of this overpriced stuff. I do, however, consume large quantities of alcoholic beverages & save my ticket stub as a momento of the experience.

Jumping Jack How much extra for beer in a cup with a tongue on it, LOL!

Blinking tongues still $10 this time?

beer beer and beer and not any kind of shitty merchandise - it`s to expensive and they earn enough money with their ticketprices.

blackandblue Nothing at all.
August 31st, 2005 07:22 AM
Gazza these days, its one of the more 'understated' t-shirts as opposed to the ones with large images emblazoned on them - I'd never be seen dead in a tie-dye

Every time I buy a programme, I wonder why I bothered immediately afterwards

Did anyone buy that collection of Stones dolls that were on sale at the concerts on the last tour? They were about £50 each and the one of Charlie looked more like Joey.

LOL. I've always told myself that beer is just worked into the price of the ticket - like TM charges - a given!!
August 31st, 2005 07:36 AM
Nellcote Ticket lanyard
Two shirts
Program (they were $5. less in Hartford than Fenway)
Wristband for daughter
Shirt for son
Passed on the beer @ $7.50 each
Bought Powerade at the same price as water $4.
August 31st, 2005 09:06 AM

But the best (read most expensive) thing i have

(red with black leather sleeves)

Marijuana, mainly, fulling my brain of dopamine.

I have a little official Stones box in metal, where I keep my stuff.


Those guys know what they do, huh?!
