Initially, ATINYs were stunned by the cost of the merchandise. Yet, most agreed it was some of the best tour merchandise designs, and the quality wasn’t bad, so it was worth it.

My biggest complaint about the merch is the pricing, cuz these shirts being $50-$70 is actually insane. Please bring back $30 shirts, ESPECIALLY since tickets are as much as they are.

Despite the initial criticism, the biggest concern now is that items are selling out rapidly.
ATEEZ’s latest stop on their tour is Duluth (Atlanta, GA) on July 30 and 31 at Gas South Arena. So, the pop-up is held July 24-August 11.
ATINY, it's time to enter Wonderland! 🏴☠️

Pop-up events also gift a photocard with every $50 USD transaction. Additionally, hello82 enters ATINY into a raffle for signed MD with their purchase.
Each day of the pop-up, items have been selling out nearly instantly. The tour tee, baseball jerseys, bandana keyring, and wappen especially have been some of the first times to go. Not only does hello82 update in-person ATINYs about the stock, but they also update the social media. According to the time on the posts, such items sold out in the first hour of being open.

The night before ATEEZ’s first concert in Duluth, hello82 shared another update. The shop informed ATINYs that “sold out items will not be restocked until further notice.” The social media manager included images of available items and listed some items that are on verge of selling out.

ATINYs are outraged by the news. They pointed out that in previous posts, it was stated that there was a limited quantity of merch for each day of the pop-up and that items would be restocked daily, so they feel lied to. The pop-up is also scheduled to continue into August. So, considering items are already sold out, ATINYs wonder what will be left by then.
Besides, it is upsetting that this announcement comes ahead of the concert dates when many are just now getting into town for the concert.
Thankfully, merchandise will also be sold at the concerts.
