意味

Merchandise sales booth at a concert venue; the act of buying merch at an event.

物販 is short for 物品販売 (goods sales) and refers to the merch tables at concerts and events. In Japanese fan culture, lining up at 物販 before a show is a ritual — limited items sell out fast, and fans arrive hours early. The term is also used as a verb-like expression: 物販に並ぶ (to line up at the merch booth). For idol events, 物販 items often include tickets for handshake or photo sessions.
