A quick question about tour merchandise, as the upcoming Brighton show will be my first MK gig...
At what point do you actually have the opportunity to buy merchandise? It's just that the tickets say there's no readmittance, so I wondered if access
to sales of merchandise is before or after tickets are surrendered. Probably a silly question, but I had to ask!

I don't know about Brighton but in Copenhagen, the merchandise stall was in the hallway of the venue, so you get to it after you have shown your ticket and
then you can buy some stuff. I'd advise buying your programm after the gig, otherwise you won't know what to do with it and it might get damaged!
Shirts are OK I guess, you can always wear them!
Enjoy! |

Hi Mike Child,
In Dublin & Newcastle the stall was set up inside the venue so you can buy the gear before or after the gig -BRING THE CREDIT CARD

Hi Mike, I don't know about the other concerts, but all I remember was that we were able to buy merchandise AFTER the concert of Mark. Merchandisers might
have been standing already in the hallway before we entered the big hall, but I didn't see anything! I was too busy to run as hard as I could to stay with
the others!
 As you perhaps know we had
standing places and it was it worth to run, because I got in front of the stage!
Rollergilr is right, IF possible then you better buy stuff after the concert, but .............don't wait too long, there might be a change that some things might be sold out! Ohhhh yeah like Waterline Man says "don't forget your credit card"

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the situation is at Brighton. I must get one of those lithographs!

Mike, it seems the lithos are sold out. They were numbered and I bought one for Nelly in Zurich and it was already somewhere in 400.
I can't remember seeing them during the last concerts I visited so I am afraid for you, but keep my fingers crossed Good luck, do I see you in Brighton? Something organized, meeting in a pub or something like that? Best regards, hoop to meet you saturday, Ingrid |

In Manchester, you showed your ticket at the main entrance door. The merchandise was for sale in a room off the main hall. You showed your ticket again when
you went into the auditorium.
I thought the programmes were too dear at £15 so didn't buy one. |

Agreed £ 15 quid is a bit steep - i was expecting £10 tops - but as ive got a programme from all the tours ive been - i could hardly refuse.......though those
notes found it hard to leave my wallet!!

@ Fieneke: yes, you were able to buy also a shirt before the show. That's why I have the very first KTGC T-shirt! |

To be honest I didn't pay attention to the merchandise when we left the Hall!
I had to go to the bathroom and lost the group of fans. We all
would meet again in the café so hubby and I hurried to find them back again! Then sudddenly I saw Nelly and Ingrid on their way to the café with the MK books
(or whatever they are called) and I told I wanted it too. So Nelly was so nice to go back with me. At that moment I didn't mind what the price was, but it
was expensive .
Well besides the memory I also wanted to have something in my hands from the wonderful evening and it was it worth! When I see the book with pictures in my bookcase, it makes me smile and feel great again! 
Btw I already had a fan t'shirt of Gayle, so didn't need another one! LOL Fieneke

I buy these kind of things always before the show because you have to wait for a
very long time if you go after the show.
