Ticketmaster is getting ridiculous....

[alkemyst]

Two Kiss tickets for the lawn seats at $20 a piece. Building charge is $4 each (outside ticketmaster charges I guess), but ticketmaster adds a $7.75 convenience charge to each ticket, $4 handling fee and then a $2.50 charge to get your tickets emailed (UPS is $10 for 3 day :roll: ).

It used to be about $20 not to long ago....basically I am looking at nearly double the face value of a ticket....they are probably profiting more than the artists.

That's not cool.

ticketmaster has been going down hill for some time now...

Did you try going to the box office of the place the concert's at ?

yeah i wish more acts would stop useing ticketmaster. but its hard to get tickets without them

You pay for it, and thus they're still winning. I've found other entertainments besides movies and concerts for reasons like this. I refuse to be subjected to this much in stupid fees, except in the movies it isn't the cost as much as it is the countless commercials they make you sit through - almost up to 30 min now....

Dollar voting, man

Except for Warped Tour there is nothing worth paying Ticketmaster fees to see. Fortunately Warped Tour ticket charges seem to run about $8~$10 per ticket, as opposed to doubling the price.

i was able to print tickets on my printer the last time i had to you TM.

i think there was still a service charge, but none for shipping. I thought that was pretty cool.

The best option is mail or will call. I mean, either way you just show your id/cc and there's your proof of purchase right there. I made the mistake one of paying for ticketfast. Never again.

I mentioned that. That's what I did....they charge you $2.50 for it, each ticket and they all come in one email in a PDF.

baseball tickets weren't too bad. $16 per ticket, $3 "fee" per ticket
