I was at this show and 100000% support what he said. More artists need to do this ILL GLADLY buy merch online if it helps the band more.

From what I’ve heard, bands make the majority of their money on merch, not tix or streams, etc. so a merch cut could really hurt them. Agree w Ronnie

25% is way too much. I can see 10%, but that venue needs to be blasted.

If the venue has people working the merch booth then yeah they should get a cut. If they just give you a corner and do nothing then they get nothing.

Merch is the only thing keeping smaller bands on the road. The record labels gives smaller touring bands next to nothing, merch is how they survive.

merch sales are supposed to go directly to the band cuz they're the ones who bought the merch, process of the designs and such. venues have nothing to do with that

If they’re backing the venue they don’t understand FIR wanted to play the show for the fans… because they wanted to see them play

the music industry toxicity is the same level as hollywood, people just don't realize. artists get angry and tired of being taken advantage of.

The only smart thing he’s said in recent memory. Merch cuts are theft unless venues are gonna start subsidizing merch.
