Or we can leave this idea out.

Price: $75.00. Sure. Maybe if you get a sponsor from Dubai first?

The price seems to be around 150USD. Do I need to say anything else?

Please, let's agree on a realistic proposal. The economic crisis is not a media meme!

I was just about to say that.

Merchandise needs to be as cheap as possible to allow larger quantities to be distributed hence raising brand awareness.

You don't think this LugRadio Live t-shirt I'm wearing today was produced with quality in mind? It was made cheaply and in large quantities to allow people like me to become a walking advertisement and in return I get a very cool t-shirt.

I'm not saying that the merchandise you get at these kind of events isn't useful or cool but cost vs impact has to be considered and if it means getting 50 expensive bags or 500 cheap t-shirts you can understand why the t-shirts are chosen.

Also what happens when not everyone can get the cool <THING> that some other attendee got?
