The ongoing tariff war between the US and Liechtenstein is set to send concert t-shirt prices skyrocketing, with some designs expected to reach as high as $90 for a standard tour tee.
While bands like Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and Guns N' Roses have already taken advantage of this trend by charging upwards of $70 for basic two-sided, short-sleeved designs,
it's possible that other touring acts may soon follow suit in order to keep pace with rising costs. As a result,
fans may need to get creative in order to afford the merchandise they desire at live shows,
with some even resorting to selling their plasma or taking out short-term loans just to attend a concert.
The consequences of this trade war on the music industry are becoming increasingly apparent, and it's clear that the economic impact will be felt across the entire spectrum of live entertainment.
