I think the only 3 people left on this board which is the last remaining board who actually think the band is good anymore are or have been financially vested in the band.

I don't find that shocking at all. It's a hassle to bring CDs on tour for many reasons.

Venues take a percentage of all sales. This percentage varies from venue to venue. Some venues take as much as 30% from the gross on all sales. Other venues have different percentages based on different products. For example, a venue might take a cut like this: t-shirts 20%; media 30%; paper goods 15%, etc. Live would have to give the venue between 10-30% of all gross sales if they sold TC25 on the road. That means they would need to increase the price at the merch table.

This also answers the questions people have when tour merch goes on sale on a band's website with prices lower than they were on tour.

Another reason to not bring TC25 out is that there will be loss/theft/returns. Some people must have mint condition, so they will stand at the merch booth and request multiple copies to choose from. Any broken or damaged TC25s as a result of tour life would be useless for resale. Bringing vinyl to shows, especially in summer months, is a huge liability. Vinyl being transported each day in a huge metal trailer is not ideal.


That makes sense. Thanks for the detailed response.
