The Merch Field Manual : How Tour Merchandise Actually Works

A table, a few shirts, someone taking money.

But behind that table is a small operation that appears in a different city every night. Inventory, cash, card machines, venue negotiations, curfews, and the quiet math that decides whether a tour survives financially or not.

The Merch Field Manual is a short breakdown of how tour merchandise actually works from the perspective of someone who has spent years behind the table.

No hype.

No theory.

Just the mechanics of a job almost everyone misunderstands.
