At what point is this anti-trust? Title: Re: Ticketmaster buys Ticketsnow Post by: freedom78 on February 04, 2008, 10:13:45 AM Wow...I just got raped by Ticketmaster:
So I'm buying two tix at $29/each. I know about their extra charges, but last I knew those were about $8/ticket. WRONG! Full Price Ticket $29.00 x 2 Total Building Facility Charge(s) $6.00 x 2 Total Convenience Charge(s) $9.55 x 2 Additional Taxes $1.00 Order Processing Charge(s) $5.15 Of course, had I wanted to print out crappy tickets at home, they'd charge me for that, and they now offer to charge you insurance, should you be unable to make the show. Seriously...when did these fees jump up so damned much? The fees added up to $15.30/ticket! These fuckers literally do absolutely nothing, and make a fortune. Fucking assholes.

that's ridiculous. although it looks like some of those are not ticketmaster charges though. i recently bought $15 tix and after all the fees there was about an extra $7 per ticket. it's usually about $10 though. like i said, totally ridiculous.

The numbers are so exorbitant, it may have temporarily clouded my ability to do math. :hihi: |
