TicketBastard

It seems that, since last I time I used it, TicketMaster has increased their level of Suck by several notches.

  • Ticket prices? Reasonable.
  • Service charge? Annoying to begin with, now just about doubled to $8.35.
  • Order Processing Charge? WTF is that? Another $4 on top of the "convenience," apparently.
  • Oh, and if I want my ticket automatically emailed to me by a machine, that's another $3.50, vs. a person having to actually print, handle, and hold a paper ticket for free.

    Regardless, I'm going to see Evanescence, Seether, and Three Days Grace at Merriweather Saturday night with Christine and Erika. :D

    Unfortunately, most events don't have multiple online ticket sellers..

    and fortunately for me, most of the events I go to are underground enough where ticketmaster wouldn't even know what the hell they are anyway.. :-)
