That’s exactly how I imagined it from the announcement and I was ready to spend. 
Having to pay for each one is a bummer but I get it too.
Personally, I expected prices to be higher, and to come with exclusive event merch. I’m always up for paying silly amounts of money when I see beautiful, quality hoodies!
Mr Torpedo, I have a strong feeling you’re lurking here so I’m gonna throw this idea around: if you get a good designer to do high-quality wearable merch (hoodies, t-shirts, bracelets?), you can make high prices more tolerable. Absolutely no AI (you’re gonna get clocked and mocked relentlessly for cheaping out) but a talented graphic designer, a good print shop, and a bulk shipment of Gildan Heavy Cotton can improve the current sticker shock situation a lot.

I have the sneaking suspicion it was that one poster who had a little sonic avatar hahaha 
They absolutely need to get rid of the “print on demand” merch they had. It’s absolutely atrocious and the dates on the nightmare hoodie/shirt didn’t even line up and the spaces in between the dates have different sizes. The choice with the white rectangles as a background is awful too.
Besides that, the quality was really awful, the hoodie felt more like a shirt. Band merch got worse, but this was specifically bad lol
The other hoodie was good, but it straight up says “Japanese nightmare scums”, if you are brave enough to wear it in public 
Tldr: I hope the bands bring their own merch

wouldnt that be kind of too expensive for them in terms of customs, taxes, etc.? Specially if they are not doing other lives…I would expect some cheap “template alike” merch from all the bands and done in UE.
At Gackt’s recent tour in LATAM they set up an online store for merch instead. I could see something like this. I would actually love to buy a shirt with all the bands listed though like the stereotypical music festival tshirts. Not holding any hope though haha

An online store may very well be better for logistics. The only problem comes if they have to ship it very far.

Even zeke deux brought merch from Japan, don’t think it should be a big issue, I guess
I’d love it SO much, but I’m afraid not 
Months ago I asked Gara during one of his twitcasting streams if he would consider playing in Europe again, he answered that he doesn’t plan to because touring abroad and traveling in other countries is difficult (…And he also doesn’t really like foreign food 
)

Interesting thank you. I also asked same question during a youtube live show, and they seems not against this idea to come back! ( In this moment )

ohh wow, I hope you’re right 
I randomly asked him way before the whole festival came out, maybe they have changed their minds in the mean time. It would be amazing to see them here
Guys…. B7 put the photo/m&g/hi-touch tickets online at 5 pm on envolprod as they initially said…. I checked because I had set a reminder and they are there and I was able to buy…..
Did they forgot to tell Envolprod?

Looks like I’m able to add the tickets to a cart and move forward with purchasing them also. Did you actually purchase them? Should I maybe wait just in case?
Yes, I did receive the tickets via mail and was able to download them. Payment went also through my credit card app…. crazy…. somehow I knew this would happen…
I didn’t wait because honestly worse case they need to refund me, best case I have Tickets…. Credit card payments are easy to recall with the Provider, so there is basically zero risk.
I wasn’t comfortable purchasing these at those prices (LM.C cheki go even 50€ higher than announced lmao), so I’ll be waiting either way.

Now when you say waiting lol…. Do we think they’re going to randomly lower the prices or change the benefits or something? Pretty much the only one I want to do is D’espairsRay unless ALL the prices come down then I might do a couple others.

In a perfect world we’d get lower prices and more perks (like merch and/or a sign session with the M&G). But I honestly have no idea what they’ll do. But given that they said that they’d go back to us on it i’m guessing purchasing it right now will result on a refund when they make whatever change they’ll come up with.

Fun fact, if you hadn’t seen the old post with the VIP prices you’d have no idea VIP perks sale is ongoing right now
I’m very tempted to get the D’espairsray photo perk but
Photo will be taken by our staff WITH purchaser camera or cellphone
Knowing my luck the pic will come out wonky and out of focus (my phone’s camera is very temperamental) for 100eur per person they can do a dslr, come on

If I end up making Paris work, it’ll be by the skin of my teeth, so I think I’ll have to bow out of photos/M&G
