I'd like to announce the availability of U2FANZ.com button badges, as per the following design!

These are an update to the badges that were previously available during our U2NewZooland.com days.  Our U2//NZ badges were popular in the lead-up to the Vertigo Tour to NZ.

Purchasing a U2FANZ.com button badge is a great way to support this site, as a small percentage of each sale will help offset the costs of running the site.  By displaying a U2FANZ.com badge during the upcoming 360 Tour, you'll also be promoting the site and helping to keep it active.  Most importantly, though, these badges will be a great way for U2FANZ.com members to spot each other in and around the concert venues (and at the local Irish pub)!

The new badges are available in the same two sizes as the previous U2//NZ ones.  These are 38mm (4cm approx) and 57mm (6cm approx).  You'll get a reasonably accurate idea of these sizes if you print out the following image:

The cost of a 38mm badge is $4.00 (NZD) and a 57mm badge is $5.00 (NZD).  If you purchase two or more badges of the same size, you will receive a slight discount as per below:

1   38mm $4.00   57mm $5.00
2+  38mm $3.50   57mm $4.50
5+  38mm $3.30   57mm $4.30

I'm pleased to offer an additional discount to our Premium members!  If you are a Premium member, you can use these prices instead!:

1   38mm $3.50   57mm $4.50
2+  38mm $3.00   57mm $4.00
5+  38mm $2.80   57mm $3.80

(All prices are in New Zealand dollars (NZD).  Please note that postage is ADDITIONAL!)

If you're currently a Standard member and you've ever considered upgrading to Premium membership (which is the primary way that we raise funds to keep this site online), then now is a good time!  Take a look at our new "Premium Plus" membership option.  For just an additional $3 (i.e., $15 total), you will receive one U2FANZ.com badge delivered free to your door (NB: Australia and NZ only)!  The extra $3 will go towards P&P costs, which effectively means you'll get a free badge when you join!

How To Order

If you'd like to place an order, simply send me a PM with something like "Button badges" in the subject line.  Please indicate the number of badges that you require and their size/s, plus your full postal address.  I'll then reply to your message with a final cost (including postage) and information about how to make payment.

The U2FANZ.com button badges are the first of (hopefully) a few different merchandising options that will be available in the future.  The next thing I'm hoping to have available is U2FANZ.com t-shirts, which should be a hot item for the 360 Tour Down Under (if we can get them done in time)!  These may or may not look exactly like the button badges, depending on possible copyright issues.  More news on this front will hopefully follow in the next few days (fingers crossed!).

Much like the t-shirts, there hasn't been enough interest in these to justify getting them made. So far, I've only had pre-orders for about a dozen of each size. Unless I can do a run of at least 50 of each size, I'd rather not waste my time.

Thank you to the people who registered an interest in the badges and T-shirts. Your support is very much appreciated, and we're sorry it doesn't look as though it will be possible to give you the opportunity to wear it on your sleeve, as it were. :(

To everyone who has ordered these....

Unfortunately, the makers of our badges had run out of 38mm (4cm) stock.  They were replaced by a slightly bigger 50mm size, which is of course exactly 5cm.  If anyone who ordered a 4cm badge isn't happy with the bigger size, I'll either refund your money or send you a 4cm badge when I can get some made (which will be at least a couple of weeks away).
