Selling Weird Al Poodle Hat Tour Merch

Weird Al at the Diamond Ballroom.And if you’ve never worked a Weird Al merch table, you haven’t seen true efficiency.This was the Poodle Hat Tour era. Goofy poodles everywhere. Wild graphics. Deep catalog items. UHF DVDs. Tour books. Shirts numbered like a menu.But here’s what made it different.Weird Al fans are the nicest fans in the business.No exaggeration.They walk up like they’re ordering at a restaurant:“I’ll take number one, extra large.” “Number two, large.” “Number three, medium.” “Tour book.” “DVD.”They already have their cash out. Exact change. No chaos. No attitude. No digging for wallets. Just smooth, polite, rapid-fire transactions.And they buy more per person than almost anyone.Not one shirt. Three shirts. DVD. Poster. Tour book.You’re counting stacks of items and they’re smiling the whole time.Then there was the weather situation.Storm rolls through. Merch gets soaked. After count-out, the rep basically says, “Do whatever you want with it.”So we loaded up boxes of wet Weird Al merch.For years, I was giving away Poodle Hat Tour gear as Christmas gifts.That’s the kind of weird, random win that only happens in this business.Weird Al might parody rock stars.But his merch game?Elite. #HeresTheDealPodcast #WeirdAl #PoodleHatTour #DiamondBallroom #ConcertMerch #MerchLife #LiveMusicBusiness #TourStories #OKCMusic #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownenLike, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx  Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
