Ok so 77$ to start with

I'm figuring...14.95$ service charge, 11.95$ building facility charge, 2.95$ print out charge

thats 29.85$ in charges + 77$ = 106.85$ per ticket

it's not all TM's fault though, for their service charge and the print out charge yes it is....but the garden has gotten WAY more greedy since The Rock in Newark opened...still the greatest place to see an arena show though

    I just did a dry run with the first show listed at MSG...Jay Z and Mary J. Blige (HA $200-450 floor seats)

    $19.95 convenience charge per ticket
    $3.15 order processing fee

    My Chemical Romance
    $8.05 convenience charge
    $3.15 order processing charge

    Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd
    $11.00 convenience charge
    $3.15 order processing charge


    so looking at these I would say expect anywhere from $90-100 a ticket all said and done
    looking for 2 to Columbia...

    TM 'convenience' charge is usually 20% of the ticket price, so for MSG, it'll be around $15.

    77 + 15 + 4.5 (facility charge) + 2 (donation) + 3 (processing fee) = roughly $100 per ticket.

    The real question is how high does it have to get before you won't buy a ticket?

    what does it matter... you'll all pay it anyway :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
