Money Transfer

Asking the veteran fans out there, If you couldn't get concert tickets for your idol today, but the merchandise is available on the official website, would you transfer the ticket money to buy merchandise? Especially if the merch is about to go out of stock. (Assuming the chance of getting a resale ticket = 0) If you were to buy, would you expect to spend roughly the same amount on merch as the ticket price? Or would you just give up? Like, 'I love the idol's work, and merch is whatever comes my way...' and stuff like that. Buy nothing Save some money then. As someone who isn't financially free, I'd like to gather everyone's opinions 🙏🙏🙏
