Hello DT-Fans \m/
I saw my fave band for the first time in Offenbach two days ago, the show was amazing, but unfortunately I had no time to buy a Tour t-shirt (had to leave directly due to bad rail connection) . Now I'm planing on ordering one for me and a friend on the site linked on the DT-website, so called fanfire.com (Even if I don't think these prices are reasonable :-\, but this is surely not the band members fault). Does anyone has done experiences ordering things on fanfire.com? I'd like to get sure before ordering.
Thanks :)

Never had any problems with ordering from the official site.
And it's far cheaper than the price you pay at the concerts....so go for it!!

I've bought plenty of shirts there. I say go for it. And daykrush is right; merchandise prices tend to be very high at concerts versus only moderately high online. I think the ones in the Fanfire store are quite reasonably priced.

Just one note: In my experience, these shirts tend to shrink rather significantly the first time you put them in the washing machine, so tend towards a larger rather than smaller size.

Thank you guys for your replys, I'll go for it. You're right; prices are cheaper than at the concerts, but it gets compensated by the shipping costs. Only choice to take now is which one of the actual t-shirts :D

I found the DT12 shirt i ordered unwearable - weird stitching across the shoulders that made it look like I have shoulder pads on.  Other shirts have been fine , so not sure why the issue with just that one.

One advantage of buying at a gig - you can try/see before you buy.

Can anyone help? Ordered a shirt on the Fanfire site on the 30th Jan, just checked the Order status and it says 'No Order information available'. Is this normal? Or are they really slow? I understand they are shipping from the States, but I am curious because it doesn't appear that it will arrive for the gig I am attending next Friday on the 14th.  :facepalm:

There's generally no info from them at all until it's shipped , at which time you'll get an email.   They do tend to take their time and often need to backorder ....................I've had a couple of orders from them and both took well over a month to arrive.

Considering what a disaster fanfire has been with a variety of things over the years, I would never even consider giving them money.  But, hey, that's me.
