So who decides the price of shirts at Stones gigs? Is it the band, venue, promoter?

I'm sure it's Mick and Live Nation. The biggest lineup I've seen for band merchandise was KISS, with so many different shirts for sale. I think any Iron Maiden concert has a majority of the crowd wearing Maiden shirts.
Read the Ramones have sold more shirts than albums!

During Stones Voodoo Lounge tour in 94 I was in Toronto for show. I counted 17 shirts on sale with huge line ups.

I do! And usually I decide that the price is much too high… Therefore I rarely buy a T-Shirt

Rolling Stones T-shirt sales are special in that they are not only bought by fans, but by a wide audience because of the cool looking logo. Without a doubt, this is the coolest logo in the world and will remain so even after the Rolling Stones are no longer around.

But that's something different. Concert shirts are expensive while you'll find super cheap Stones shirts at H&M, Primark and so on. I have bought two official concert shirts since ABB Tour. I prefer cheaper stuff on the street, online or at normal stores. Often they even do Look better.

Speaking of Primark, they had some SIXTY merch at discounted prices not too long ago.

As to the original question, I thought it was Bravado (Universal Music Group) who operates the merchandise sales?

The Stones are under AEG/Concerts West's wing, not Live Nation's.
