Salt in the Wound
It's bad enough that Ticketmaster has a monopoly on ticket sales for most major venues in the United States, allowing them to charge over-the-top prices for one of the smallest-overhead, least-complicated services on earth. But then they laugh in your face with their "screw you suckers!" fees. We just bought tickets to see Alejandro Escovedo and here's the receipt:
| Tickets (Alejandro Escovedo) |
| Full Price Tickets | US $10.00 x 2 |
| Total Building Facility Charge(s) | US $1.00 x 2 |
| Total Convenience Charge(s) | US $5.25 x 2 |
| Order Processing Charge(s) | US $3.30 |
| Will Call | No Charge |
| TOTAL CHARGES | US $35.80 |
How long before they make you pay to pick up your purchases at Will Call? And while I could save money by spending an hour going down, buying the tickets in person, and then coming back, they still charge you $4 for fuck you of it!
