NETS VS KNICKS
FULL PRICE TICKET US $45.00 x 2
Convenience Charge US $5.50 x 2
Delivery (ticketFast Delivery) US $1.75
Order Processing Fee US $3.00

Total Charges US $105.75

WTF? What's more, the option which should cost them the least for ticket delivery (they email it to me for printing) still costs more ($1.75) than the free "standard mail". Hooray for monopolies!!!11 :disgust:

Unless you're my wife, no. Good thing too; how embarrassing that she would have 2x my postcount in half the time. 😀

If the game were at MSG I'd do it, but getting to the Meadowlands is a PITA and a half unless it's game day (when they run a special bus, and still it costs some more).

Too late. 🙁 I appreciate the offer!

Edit: Have you tried Stub Hub? I hear their ads all the time on the FAN.

Go to a retail location and save on Delivery and Order processing. Pay cash and you don't have to pay tax (though on my $210 purchase yesterday the tax was only $4+)

I wonder if the Nets have a retail location anywhere near where I live? Oh wait, they don't. 🙁

Not always. I've gone to buy tickets for events and it was still under Ticketmaster rules. All the fees were tacked on even though I was at the venue.

Upper level, row 14, IIRC. There aren't any bad seats at Continental Airlines Arena so I'm satisfied.
