Screw you, Ticketmaster! (PIC)
 

Thats hilarious. They want to get you from every angle possible.

Ya it's un-fucking-believable isn't it. Talk about a great monopoly! Ticketmaster=Fuckers

Always the man digging in your pockets

I've Been there. Now wait for the spam, forevery event that comes to town.

They stuck it to you! :)

Lmfao...

Who the hell goes to a concert alone????

lolololololol

Fucking assholes

fucked in the ass

with no vaseline.

:2 cents:

yeah ticket master has always been that way remember when Pearl jam tried fighting them and using some other methods to distribute tickets?? Unfortunately that didnt get very far...

that's hilarius!!!

they do that here too and if you use a credit card the add a feee for that to so in the end u pay 2x the price for a ticket

Fuck them! there is always a hidden charge in the bills

Who the hell pays for their friend's tickets?

fucked up

I don't see one hidden charge. I see two very obviously disclosed charges. The two questionable fees are fully disclosed in an easy to read manner and combined, they total about a 33% upcharge over the rest of the transaction. Not exciting for the consumer but it's all laid out for you and you can make your decision whether to buy with every bit of information about the charges available for your review. So I don't necessarily see a problem with this. If you don't want to pay the fees, don't buy a ticket. You get to choose.

Alternatively, some other sites sell something and then provide "questionable fees" that total +/- 300% upcharge over the intended transaction, that are not fully disclosed in an easy to read manner.

I know nothing about TM but I'm assuming they gotta make their money somewhere and that's where they make it. If the fees got too crazy, it should open the door to competitors to take some market share.

At least it doesn't say "Mastercard holders are sadly unable to take advantage of our special "Convenience Fees", please use Visa."

So they add 17$ on price of 27$, how the fuck they manage to fuck people?

Ticket Master is the lowest form of legal robbery ! ! !

What happened with Pearl Jam? ...

No hidden charges. Just a part of the ticket buying process and it's too bad that TicketMaster has so much of the market. Their fees do add up with you are buying a lot of tickets.

lol seems like a stronghold.

Reminds me of AirAsia...

Yeah they suck balls! I try and avoid using them when i can...

:thumbsup:thumbsup

hahahaha
sucking

Buy directly from the venue whenever possible!

My phone bill is $21 a month. The taxes and fees add another $17. And thats just the most recent time I checked. It'll be upside down soon.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I love it when people bitch about selling tickets for face value. its impossible as no matter where you buy them, you get raped in charges and fees.

bwahahahahahhaha..... I miss only fresh air charge here :1orglaugh

i bought tickets to see hank 3 from ticketmaster...only 25 bucks a piece!

i saw clapton and jeff beck earlier this year. didn't cost quite that much but up here (ottawa/montreal) most concerts aren't through ticketmaster but independants.

You do have two alternatives.

1. Go buy them at the box office.

2. DON'T PAY FOR THEM! The reason they charge that much is that they know saps will actually pay it. If people spoke with their wallets and stopped paying those absurd fees then they would stop charging them. Why does it cost $10 for a beer at a sporting arena? Because people still buy them!

Yes, the prices are outrageous, but if you subsequently purchased that ticket, then you are part of the problem.

Sorry but I used to play in a band and tour and fully understand this. You sure dont bitch when you are stealing music and downloading it for free do you? Higher ticket prices and these charges have only come up the last 7-8 years as a way to try and actually make back some of the billions of dollars lost every year to illegal downloads.

That's fucking insane.

hahahaha i hate ticketmaster

At least it looks like a real ticket. Buying a fake ticket that cannot be used to get through the door will make you feel even worse. Good luck.

They should be sued for those imaginary charges. Fuck them!
