Iron Maiden poor quality t-shirt.

My son went to see iron maiden this month and bought a t-shirt for £20. He was resting on his bedroom wall and when he pulled away the transfer was all over the wall and cannot be removed apart from painting the wall over. The t-shirt lettering has already faded on the front too. I expected better quality for that price.

Naturally my son is very upset.

Does anyone know who I should contact over this, the t-shirts were made my a reputable company.

Thanks in advance.

    if it was an 'official' item of merchandise, best contact the makers, or even the band / management team- google for their official site.

    i am sure they dont want dodgy items upsetting their fans.

    Are you sure he bought it from an official merchandise seller or from one of the dodgy places outside venues?

    He bought it from the official stand inside the gig. I have emailed the guy from the Iron Maiden website to ask what to do and got no joy.
    The quality of the t-shirt is poor too for an official jobber!

    the trouble with the Iron Maiden forum is you have to pay £10 to join!

    My OH said the official Tshirts at Twickenhan were £37 each so £20 sounds too good to be true to be honest. Ill ask him if there was any cheaper when he gets back.

    the hoodies were £37 and the t-shirts were £20 and the rugby shirts were £50. They were from the official stand inside of the stadium, pretty sure they wouldnt let them sell fakes inside of the stadium
