How to Buy Concert T Shirts
For decades, fans have purchased popular artist's concert t-shirts. T-shirt purchase provides support for the performer, and is a way to capture memories from the show. In recent years, concert t-shirts have also become fashion statements and are easier than ever to find. Does this Spark an idea?

Concerts
-
Fans can always buy band t-shirts at the concert. Large arena musical acts and struggling performers in small venues typically sell t-shirts at their concerts. Fans can usually purchase shirts inside the venue before or after the show. Depending on the venue, bands may have sales stands outside for fans not attending the event. Beware of vendors further outside the concert venue (or on the street)--they may be selling "unofficial" t-shirts.
On-Line
-
Concert t-shirts have become a popular item for on-line stores. Specialty websites draw strong interest as they offer a wider variety of musician and tour t-shirts than ever before. Sites such as Star500 offer t-shirts for thousands of bands and artists, while the ConcertTee site also includes specialty tees for Hard Rock, Metal, Jazz and Reggae artists. Ebay is also another popular on-line option.

Second-hand shops
-
Check second-hand stores for vintage concert t-shirts. Second-hand stores like The Salvation Army and Goodwill are not just for furniture and big-ticket items; clothing is a large part of their stock. Local consignment shops are also great places to find concert t-shirts, including vintage tees.
