I am all for paying for convenience, but..I was trying to buy tickets online today. Ticket price 16.00
Get to check out, 16.00 x 2, plus 6.95 x 2 convenience charge, then add 4.10 processing charge, thank God I picked U.S. for delivery, total was $50.00 for $32.00 worth of tickets, maybe Pearl Jam was right.

Yeah they are quite the rip off. did you notice the option of printing your tickets after they email them to you. They wanted like 5 bucks for them to EMAIL them! that's can't cost them anything!Sony KDL-40V2500 HDTV, Rotel RSX-1067 Receiver, Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray, Slim Devices Squeezebox, Polk RTi6, CSi3 & R15, DIY sub with Atlas 15

while I agree that ticketmaster is ridiculously overpriced, I have to make one comment: The technology they needed to implement to be able to send you the tickets via email probably cost them tens or hundreds of thousands in consulting fees, not to mention the ticket verification systems at the venues etc. Its not exactly free -
Anyone know who owns Ticketmaster?
Does the name Paul Allen ring a bell? Yeah, the same Paul Allen that started Microsoft with Bill Gates. He's not in the top 10 richest people in existance for just owning Microsoft shares. Ticketmaster is his ticket to wealth!No excuses! -
They ain't called ticketbastard for no reason!There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.
