A unique newspaper for each date — the city, the night, the setlist, the writing. Run sized to the room; when a night sells out, that edition is gone forever. Scarcity is real and dated, so it carries a higher price point than a poster.
One design for the whole Death By Sexy run, sold at every stop, closed forever when the tour ends. Simpler, batch-printed to demand — no per-city collectible story, so it earns a lower price point.
Two ways to run the same shows: the dated per-night collectible, or the one accessible edition across the tour. Priced far enough apart that either earns its place at the table.
Wide Open is a creative direction and production house centered on the physicalization of culture — full-size newsprint publications where every spread opens into a wall poster, with real writing on the backs. Editorial art objects, not tour posters.
Our newspapers are stocked in bookstores across Paris, London, NYC and LA (Magculture, Yvon Lambert, Skylight, Quimby's); our World Cup series is live now at newspapers.wide-open.xyz. We design at tour pace — one architecture, a unique edition per night — with the band's team approving every page at concept, layout, and final.
Pick the structure first — the products below work under either. Numbers shown at the baseline: Product A, $40, 5% editions, 90% sell-through, across the full 20-date run.
Wide Open pays for everything — design, print, shipping. Costs recoup off the top, then the net splits 60/40 in the band's favor. You write no checks and carry zero risk. At a club-and-theatre run this size, this is the structure we'd honestly recommend.
The band covers production at cost (~$11,000 upfront: volume-rate print and our design & production fee — $7,000 flat, or $1,000 per show under five shows) and keeps everything else. More money, small upfront — the right call if you're confident in the run.
Same product, same work, same quality either way — and below, you can test both against any pricing you like. Signed variants, a collector foil edition, or VIP integration and the numbers move fast.
Every number is a lever — drag them and the budget recalculates across all twenty dates. Filter by region below, or toggle any single night on and off in the table.
Capacities are concert-configuration estimates — true them against ticketed capacity and every row recalculates. The Helldorado festival date is included at concert scale; trim it if the edition is a headline-only play.
One design, the whole tour, closed forever at the end. Batch-printed to demand — structurally low risk for whoever finances.
Scarcity carries the price — per-night editions give every date its own sell-out moment, and nothing ends up in a $10 clearance bin. The open edition wins on simplicity and a lower entry price. Same shows, two ways to run them — pick one.
Methodology per our standard model: hall fee on venue sales · 5% shrinkage & CC on venue gross · print costed on volume tiers · excludes sales tax.
The artist newspaper has half a century of collector history — priced like art, not merch.
