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

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

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.

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.
 
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 😵)

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.
