Anyone stupid enough to pay Ticketmasters fees deserves what he gets.

But why isn't there a fee for you cursing all there other fees?

 

[Nik]

It's implied in the elipsis.

 

[Pantoot]

Mr. Burns: And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought ticketmaster. "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.

 

[imported_Moo Cow]

So what`s the alternative? Ticketbastard is like Standard Oil and old AT&T.

So....what are the alternatives? Sneak into the venue? Bribe the ticket person? Parachute into the crowd? (only works for outdoor shows)

Buy it from the box office?

Saving $40 would make the drive worth it.

Or check eBay/Craigslist.

Driving to the box office isn't an option.

Sure it is, you just don't want to. Not that I am defening ticketbastard or anything.

 

[shocksyde]

No, it's really not.

Scalpers always have excess inventory they're dying to get rid of. A ticket that's face $40 and selling for $60 pre-show is $10 once the warm-up band starts.

Let's be clear about this. You did not get raped, you chose to do business with thieves. You dropped trou, bent over and begged for it.

 

[ethebubbeth]

Yeah, it annoys the hell out of me. Whenever I go to see a show at the Dodge Theater here in Phoenix, I always buy at the box office. I can upgrade to the next level of seats and pay the same amount as I would for the cheapest tickets through ticketmaster )

 

[nakedfrog]

They don't call them Ticketbastard because they like them...

I like

 

[effowe]

Agreed, ticketmaster is evil. I was going to buy tickets online for the show I'm going to tonight. $15 per ticket, with a $6 convenience charge per ticket. I just drove to the box office and got face value, best way to do it.
