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

    I agree, going above and beyond one's duties is tip-worthy. Friendly service to the best of one's ability is not in such an establishment, contrary to what many 16-yr olds seem to think. :-)

    But it's the American Way! Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Easy Money!

    ...and the right to scowl and sulk during that pursuit!
