Boo ticketmaster charges

Want to go see Conan O' Brien in Phoenix. Seats are $56.50. Was going to get tickets for the family but...

$56.50 x 4 seats
Facility Charge US $3.00 x 4
Convenience Charge US $14.50 x 4

Fuck you ticketmaster! Only one convince charge per order should be allowed. $15 convenience charge per seat? Super lame. Facility charges sound bogus, too.

Ah well...

Maybe I can get the tickets somewhere else without BS charges?
 
Fuck Ticketmaster. Basically, they make money by selling disposable pieces of paper. Charmin has a similar business model, except they don't charge a convenience fee. Once again, fuck Ticketmaster. Everyone knows this.
 
Yeah Ticketmaster sucks. I bought $23 tickets last week, ended up being $39 after Ticketmaster and the state of CA finished raping me.
 
I refuse to purchase from them, hope others do to and they end up going out of business. Right now they seem to be the only game in town.
 
Yep I was looking at Coco tickets for DC and the ticketmaster fees really turned me off.

Sorry Coco, but I am not going to ever give any money to ticket master.
 
Burns: And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought Ticketmaster. [imitating Smithers] Nobody's going to pay a hundred-percent "service charge."

Smithers: It's a policy that ensures a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant, sir.
 
I thought there where rules against monopoly's in the US? There's no competition, they basicly own it all and can charge accordingly....
 
heh one thing i notice about these threads is that nobody ever defends ticketmaster.


is there any way to get ticketmaster on Al-Qaeda's hit list?
 
Yeah wat teh fuck? These peoples needs to workz for free.🙄
"Man those $3 service fees put me out of the game." But you'll gladly pay the $56 ticket you were gonna buy for something you could of seen for free a few months ago?

Where do you get $3, $3 is only part of the feeS. I am seeing 25%+ markup on the lowwer end tickets.

Hell the OP showed over a 25% markup in fees/Charges

I guess you've never looked at your cellphone bill.


That's what it costs to go. If it's too much then he doesn't have to purchase them.
 
This is why I scalp tickets.

I have been burned in a similar fashion numerous times in the past.
$14 PER TICKET is ridiculous.

Why don't they just put that cost into the ticket price up front?
 
How has ticketmaster not been declared a monopoly yet? It's near impossible to go to any official events around here WITHOUT ticketmaster.

Apples =/= Oranges.

I can get many different cell phones, cell phone plans, options, etc...

If I want to see a concert or Coco now I only have one option.
