F*****G Ticketmaster
So today my friend and I try to buy Tool tickets for the show at Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie and it's the usual bs. My friend can't get in and then it took me 4 tries to get pit tickets. We needed 7 tickets but I could only cover 3 so my friend was going to grab the other 4. Luckily I got in when I did because at 10:07 the show was sold out (went on sale at 10) and then pit tickets were posted on stub hub for $542.
On top of all that there were an additional $17.25 in additional fees so an $80 ticket jumped to $97 and then there was another $5 service charge for the overall order. Goddamn 20% of face value fees and 17.7% of total purchase was fees. **** TICKETMASTER! IIRC Didn't they get in trouble for exorbitant fees before? |

I remember when Pearl Jam cancelled the last half of a tour because ticketmaster was assraping their fans.

The problem is that so many venues are locked into ticket master that there is almost no other way to get into a large venue. Of course they probably need to charge that much to pay off the venues to let them stay locked in.

I had to buy one extra ticket for the Tech N9ne concert yesterday.
It said $20. Then there was an $8.95 fee + $3 Convenience Fee. So I told my buddy I was buying it for that it was $32 instead of $20 like I told him, he said okay. Then I go to checkout and they added another $5 for a service charge and charged me and extra $2.50 just to print the ticket! So after all was said and done, the $20 Ticket cost me $40. Thats such bullshit. |

I agree that Ticketmaster's CEO is lord satan himself....
With that said, NEVER wait until the day tix go on sale.....Pre-sale my friend is the way to go... Either: A) Go to the band's website and sign-up for the fan club (that usually gets you a pre-sale code) OR B) I've used this website a couple times - well worth the extra 4 bucks to get good tix http://www.presalecodes.com/index.ph...FQ6jagodknMdrQ
