While scouring the internet looking for an inspiration what to post for Fan’s prompt “voucher” I came across this sentence: “a rock band’s overpriced T-shirt has become the universally recognized voucher for one’s attendance at a sold-out concert” here.
I guess my voucher for having been at the German Nash Hash in 2023 are all the goodies below: a t-shirt, a buff, a wine glass with straw (!) on a lanyard specially for glasses, overlong orange shoe laces, a rubber bottle cap, two patches and of course, the goodie bag itself.
