What's happening??? Proper Victor Meldrew moment. The cheapest T Shirt was £25 and a Hoodie was £50. Rant over.

£25 for a Motorhead Tshirt ?......

That`s not too bad considering the average Motorhead fan will keep it on for the next 20 years without washing it...good value in my opinion.

...JOKE, sorry no offence meant etc.

How much do you want a beer? Enough to let the rip-off prices piss you off? Not me, I'd rather go without and let 'em keep it, at least then I'd know I hadn't been fisted. If people didn't pay their rip-off prices they couldn't charge their rip-off prices. The same goes for merchandising "The cheapest T Shirt was £25 and a Hoodie was £50"... they wouldn't be that much if people didn't buy 'em, vote with your feet. How was the gig ?

Got ripped off at The Darnkness last Sunday, £3.90 for a can of Red Stripe. Dearest T shirt was only £20.00 which I thought was reasonable.

These Ripoff bars should be boycotted,atfer saying that ,they never seem to be short of punters.....T
