2) Tour merchandise : when / where is it usually sold? Before/after the show? When the doors open or even from earlier? Outside/Inside the main venue (meaning only those with a ticket may purchase stuff)?
From my exprience :
Anyone can buy the stuffs before and after the concert at a booth outside of concert hall. Even when a booth was inside of concert hall, they sold it at the front of concert hall before the concert, with no checking of ticket.
