Counterfeit sellers target impulse buyers by offering undercut rates or manufactured "blowout sales" on fake social accounts. Legitimate tour apparel uses high-grade ring-spun cotton (typically 6.0 oz blanks from makers like Comfort Colors, Los Angeles Apparel, or Alstyle), features multi-pass screen printing, and carries standardized pricing agreed upon between the venue and the artist.
