One Direction Sells T-Shirts

GOING SYCO: One Direction, the Simon Cowell-discovered boy band which just performed three sold-out Australian shows at 4,000-seat venues, are doing even better at the merch counter than they are at the box office. The group is earning a staggering $57 per head in T-shirts ($40) and programs ($20), which is practically unheard-of in the business as 1D Mania begins to work its way around the globe. (4/17p)
