I'm going to the Houston date of Warped and I'm wondering if most bands have some really good deals on their merch and stuff. Like are band's cd's cheaper and how much does the average shirt cost? Thanks for any info from those that have been to one in the past.

Shirts range from 10 to 15 bucks depending on the popularity of the band. And cds are usually cheap at Warped, 10 bucks probably being the most you'll pay on a disc. Plus no tax! But I usually tip the merch dudes.

eeeh its about the same as if you were to go to an individual show. shirts depend on the band, id say shirts go from between 10-25 bucks. totally depends on the company/band. cds depend on the band too. some more unknown bands cds are cheaper..some more noticed bands are about the same as if you were to buy them at the store.

10-15 for a t-shirt
10-12 for a cd
20-30 for a sweat shirt

Most of the merch is really sweet to, not to mention that you can sometimes talk to the band members at their merch booths.

On the dot.

Vagrant had the best deal last year. 2 CDs for 10 bucks. I'm guessing cause it was on the tale of the tour (Early August), but oh man, I still wish I had picked up more than 2 CDs.

yeah, i'd say on average its not really different than going to a normal show. Just there's a shitload of merch tables to choose from.

One tip for you though, since this is your first Warped Tour. If your bringing a lot of cash with you, as I always bring around $100 to buy merch, keep your wallet in your front pocket, or anything besides the back pocket. Because if your in the crowds, you wont notice someone stealing it from you. And if you havnt bought anything yet, this can makes the situation really bad. And quite a few of my friends have unfortunately experienced this before, and I can tell you its definately not good.

Yeah,also some bands toss out shirts during their sets, and a lot of the booths give stuff away during the day for doing little contests and what not.

yeah when you go there its basically a shopping mall of bands, replace all the hollisters and shit with fall out boy and the starting line as stores

hey just milk the shit out of the bands, just say you have 15 bucks to spend total, and they will bargain with you
well at least Jon from Waking Ashland did

basically....i'm thinking more not than yes 'cause it would have been hard to get my wallet out of my back pocket and back in with all my friends with me....and the cash was still there and only one credit card was gone....but its always possible. I should try and find that thing
