I mean come on by the time you get the~80 ticket with fees shipping handling(as he strokes himself) your up to like ~110. They should revamp the systems and get everything bundle and then tell you what the price is....oh and btw these ticket crooks are now charging a 1 extra if you pay by debit..and get this they dont even mention it... youll just see a 1 deducted from your account...SO IS FACE FACE ANYMORE???

    No, only Ticketmaster and the 10C (and scalpers) are allowed to sell for above "face value".

    Yes...

    Whenever I've had extras I sell them for the exact amount I paid. So if the tickets were $75+$25 in fees I sell them for $100. There is NOTHING wrong with that - I'm not making a penny... and its better another fan gets them and not a scalper who will sell the $100 tickets for $150-$200.

    Thanks I'll keep that in mind cause I have lost money inpast doing that just because I didnt want the person to think I was scalping.

    Yeah, if it cost you $110 when it's all said and done, then it's fair to ask for that. Just as long as you're not going above and beyond that price.

    Theoretically, you can still buy an $80 face ticket for $80...if you go to the box office, and that particular venue does not tack on the dreaded "facitlity charge"...its a long shot, but can still happen.

    i have many pair of tickets that i can't go, which i would sell for face, half price, even give them out for free. i'm crazy like that.

    i did a 2 for 1 for pearl jam nyc night 1 last month.

    do i loose money? yep. but in the end, i'm putting a smile on a face, which is what i want to see. cause my life is a wreck as it is. so it various from time to time ...

    I've sold tickets before at face plus service charges. Most people are happy to get the ticket(s) and there is no way that I should have to absorb service charges just because there's a slim possibility that i will "look bad" cause I'm not selling for exact face value!

    To me face value includes service charges.
