Do people still buy concert t-shirts? It was a big thing back in the 80's. Does anyone still have those rock concert shirts?

When I was in high school in the 1980's, a lot of people went to rock concerts. It was common to buy a shirt from the concert and wear it in school. It was always something to talk about.

Saw Neil Young a couple of times in the 80's and 90's.

I bought concert T-shirts. I still buy them. Going to a concert later this month...of course I'll get a T-shirt. (I still have the ones I bought umpteen years ago.)

When I was going to concerts, in my youth, I couldn't afford the memorabilia.
I had an Outlaws Tee from 1981 but it is long gone to time.

If I were healthy enough and had opportunity to, I would got to concerts and buy the memorabilia. LOL, yeah, life gets in the way.

I do keep memorabilia from events locally.
I have a small collection of drink cups from a few different amusement parks and zoos.
Thing is, I can't afford the $40-$60 ticket price apiece to go to concerts.
Yeah, it would be wonderful to spend $120 on tickets to see a blues group but frankly I'll settle for whatever is happening at the local events that are free or under $20 each.

You might think I am a cheapskate but I really don't care what others think of me.
I mean, I am disabled, on fixed income.
The very fact I can go to an event is significant to me.
And...Yes, if I have the money that month, I will buy a tee shirt, or whatever.

Aye. Not going to gigs that often. But I always buy a nice shirt. I like those kind of souvenirs

I always get a shirt

my last one to die was an outlaws tshirt. haven't bought one in ages

Don't go to many concerts these days but when I go to a show or different places I try get one.
Got one from some american osprey pilots a few weeks ago and I have a collection of hard rock cafe polo shirts from around Europe, Middle East and Africa.

I've still got a couple of Rolling Stone and Bruce Springsteen shirts from their concerts in the 80's and 90's. Probably don't fit them anymore though...

Don't worry fb,I have some of those, it's the material, it shrinks over the years when kept in a drawer

Thanks Mikey. I needed to hear that!

if it isn't that, then it's because of all the curling you've been doing. 12 oz at a time will a lot of reps

I can't go to concerts anymore. The tickets are way too expensive. I also don't live near any stadiums, so I'd have to drive a bit and get a hotel. Years ago, I remember shirts cost about $15-20? who knows what they cost now.

I wish I had a few T-shirts from the concerts I’ve gone too, but they really are/were so expen$ive!
I did see ZZ Top and got a pair of “Not so cheap” sunglasses 🕶
I still have them!

I have a couple of Neil Young concert shirts. They are worn out. Most concert shirts are too big for me, so I sleep in them. I have a Crosby, Stills and Nash shirt that is really soft material.

That’s awesome, cat! I love Neil Young....and big, comfy T-shirts are the best for sleeping in

When I went to see The Monkees a few years back, the only ones who had smaller sized shirts, so I had to get two shirts, and they had different styles.

This wasn't a concert but I saw Jeff Dunham live. Ended up getting an Achmed the Dead Terrorist t-shirt.

I got free Billy Joel tickets over the radio. No shirt but who cares.
