What does /mu/ think about the recent news that merch cannot be sold in the venue in Australia?
What are those women protesting about?

I have no idea, but it should be about this. Bands make nearly all their money from tickets and merch these days, don;t make it harder to sell merchandise.

Not relevant to the discussion.

I think it's rude. What if a fan wants merch?
>>60317487
Have to get it online which is a pain in the ass. I'm much more likely to impulse buy a t shirt at a gig than browse the bands online store.

More reasons for bands to avoid that place. Poor Ausies
I think it means that there's now little to no incentive for artists to tour there now. A hefty chunk of their pocket cash comes from the merch table. Gas money to the next venue, food, etc.

source? i can't find anything about this
All exactly right. Anybody here have any idea what the incentive is? Does it in some way have any negative effects whatsoever?
maybe they can just sell stuff out of their car outside the venue

Why is Australia so fucking shit? I'd rather move to Russia.

Why are Australian lawmakers such maliciously stupid cunts?
What was the reasoning for such a clueless decision?
