Hey Ticketmaster, fuck right off
allison:
My nosebleed-section Kevin Smith tickets cost $55 or something originally...but cost $75 and change after 'convenience fees'. What the fuck, man.
Inlander:
Jesus, when North American people in this thread started talking about convenience fees I thought you just meant to three-or-four dollar booking fees that you have to pay in Australia.
I guess rampant corporate greed is still the flavour of the month Stateside, then.
Be My Head:
Unfortunately most bands I see use ticketmaster, however some venues have their own sites you can order from.
I think this should be how it is done (every venue has their own system)
tania:
ticketmaster does have a big refund policy on their website that says they'll give you back your money if your show gets cancelled but it's all really convoluted bullshit. there's links and phone numbers all over the place and they take you in circles over and over while continuously reassuring you that you'll get your refund. frankly i find that a lot more insulting than if they just said flat-out on their site somewhere "hey, sorry if your event gets cancelled but we're keeping your money".
Katherine:
I fucking hate Ticketbastard. I avoid buying tickets through them whenever possible, which has been pretty infrequently over the last few years since a) no one good ever comes around here and b) when someone good does come here they go to the smaller venues where I can buy tickets at the door or who use other ticket sales companies.
