    I seriously wonder how much I've spent on these bullshit processing/service charges from ticketmaster with all the tickets I've purchased over the years. It's unbelievable that this still goes on. It just keeps getting worse too...

    The funniest part is that you all still blame and hate TM when it clearly states that the venues, promoters, and to an extent the artists all benefit from TM fees..... :shakes head:

    Ticketmaster sucks. The only way to avoid their fees is by getting your tickets straight from the box office at the venue, if that's possible. If it's a particularly large venue, it's more likely they'll sell tickets there without all the ridiculous fees.

    Bastards!
    Concerts are so wrong now days. It is all about corporatism, branding every friken thing and ripping off music fans. A'holes!!!!
    Bring back true concerts.

    I'm excited about Live Nation and Ticketmaster going to battle cause in the end someone will have to bow down to the other, and both are the devil reincarnated.

    it's all about the money... sad but oh so true...

    I know they've taken a lot of my money.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    You honestly think that there will be a difference??? Hahahahaha They will both charge bascially the same fees and both will have enough venues and promoters to continue their businesses.
