An intense demand for exclusive Attack on Titan merchandise emerged from the recent concert in Seattle, leaving some fans scrambling to secure items. On August 28, merchandise shortages became apparent as the conductor set sold out early, mirroring a similar fate for popular items on day one.
Reports indicate that attendees were disappointed with the limited stock available. "The keychain sold out on day one," noted one concertgoer. The fast pace of sales for the conductor set, vinyl, and keychain has led to numerous requests from fans looking for proxies at upcoming tour stops in Orlando and New York.
A post on forums highlighted the issue, with a fan seeking help to secure a conductor set, vinyl, and keychain. "I would pay for everything plus shipping and a proxy fee!" the fan shared, emphasizing their dedication. To make the process smoother, they offered various payment methods, including Zelle and PayPal.
Interestingly, attendees noted that comparable items are available on Amazon. "A worker at the merch shop confirmed that the Amazon listings are the same," wrote another concertgoer.

The atmosphere around the merchandise shortages reveals a passionate fanbase eager for collectibles. As the tour continues, how will concertgoers respond to the growing demand?
As the tour rolls on, the demand for Attack on Titan merchandise will likely continue to surge. Experts estimate around an 80% chance that fans at the upcoming Orlando and New York concerts will experience similar shortages, given the rapid sellout of items in Seattle. As requests for proxies increase, it's reasonable to expect that more fans will turn to social media and forums for assistance. This could lead to a chain reaction of merchandise hunts, further driving the excitement and anticipation around each concert stop.
This situation echoes the frenzy that characterized the initial drops of popular console gaming systems. Recall the launch of certain limited-edition game consoles where fans camped out for days, only to face shortages and overwhelming demand. Just like those console collectors, these Attack on Titan enthusiasts are prepared to go to great lengthsโoffering hefty sums to secure their coveted items. Both scenarios highlight how fervent loyalty can lead to almost absurd measures in the pursuit of something special.
