    Anybody else think ticketmaster is getting ridiculous!

    I just tried to purchase 2 tix to see Ice Cube at the house of blues
    this Sunday.

    Price for the tickets are $40 each. Checkout this breakdown after fees:

    Item Charge
    Tickets (Ice Cube)
    FULL PRICE TICKET US $40.00 x 2
    Total Building Facility Charge(s) US $2.00 x 2
    Total Convenience Charge(s) US $9.75 x 2

    Order Processing Charge(s) US $3.75
    TicketFast Delivery What's this? US $2.50

    TOTAL CHARGES US $109.75


    If you want to know what the fast delivery charge is, its because I
    want to print the tickets instead of having them shipped.

    Can anyone explain the Convenience charge and why I have to pay
    it for each ticket in one online transaction?

    We all should figure how to implement this in our business.

    Server setup? $99
    providing you the password for root access (convenience charge) - $10
    You want me to send the info thru snail mail? $20
    Fast delivery (email) - $3.75

    Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening!

      It's a monopoly. Pearl Jam is pretty much the only band to stand up to them. I am sure there are others before anyone flames me, but Pearl Jam is the only one that stands out in my mind.

        They only charge it because people will pay.

              Ebay only has the show for anaheim, prefer hollywood.
              No luck on craigslist.

              Probably have to go direct to HOB. I refuse to pay the fees
              that add up to be same price as a ticket.

                  Ticketmaster has been ridiculous for a longtime.
