Solving the Sold-Out Concert Merch Problem with Tech-Driven Solutions

Fan disappointment with consistently sold-out band merchandise at live shows highlights a significant gap in the market. The feedback points to the core issue: bands often under-stock to avoid the financial and logistical headaches of unsold inventory. This creates a clear business opportunity for a tech-driven service that separates sales from physical stock. Potential solutions could include mobile pre-ordering for at-venue pickup, QR-code-based ordering for post-show home delivery, or even on-demand printing kiosks at venues. Such services would boost artist revenue while meeting fan demand, addressing a major pain point in the live music experience.
