Well on his merch page the 2007 shirts are $38 ( Euro ) which roughly translates to $ 44.00 US. Don't get me wrong, they are gorgeous but for $44.00 Roger should take it off his back in front of you...

The shirts at the show in Bristow last year were horrendously overpriced; even Paul McCartney was more reasonable with his merch.

So I decided to shell out the (much more reasonable) 20$ for the hilarious "P*U*L*S*E" bootleg shirt being sold in the parking lot. I wear that all the time.

The shirts at the Cork show (June 06) were 30euro ... I won't be buying another one in Dublin May 07 ... might buy a bootleg one outside if they're any good

$42 for one in Melbourne, Australia. Definately Overpriced.

They were $25 at Bristow last year. Dad and I got ours and put ours on right away. My only beef is that they dont have a good size range, and you have to expect that the merchandise is going to be overpriced, just like the food- it's a ROCK CONCERT. EVERYTHING's expensive. But $40 some does seem a tad overpriced. They'll probably be less in Milwaukee, they were in Indianapolis, so we'll see....

Yeah ' i could'nt agree more. I purchased a black XL size ( sattellite & moon design ) at Acer Arena ' Sydney in January ' and payed 45 australian dollars for it. thats around 35 US dollars. A week ago i check out the latest range of 2007 tour t-shirts available directly through Roger Waters merchandise store ' and WHAT A SURPRISE 33 euros per shirt. That equates to around 55 australian dollars each ' and that does not include shipping. So with shipping that would be around 70 - 75 australian dollars per shirt !!! Who the hell is going to part with that sort of money ( IN ANYONES CURRENCY ). Probably quite a few.

I dunno about that...if you wait a few months they always become available alot cheaper. I'm impulsive don't get me wrong but when you can get an autographed litho for 100.00 why would you but a shirt for 70.00?

The T's on his site are £20. Look a bit naff though. Will probably end up buying a couple though - probably the satellite one and the prism
