I would pay $45 bucks to see Clapton. He is so overrated. And $1500. Only a loser would pay that. |

Convenience charge? They are charging for comfortable workplace and easy hours? Or is it that they aren't happy and want to have moore smoothies to feel at least convenient? Facility charge sounds like it should be included either to the ticket price or order processing fee.. And bout the latter, they sure do have expensive system when electronic prosessing of a few lines of data requires 5 bucks worth of electricity... |

Best thing Pearl Jam ever did was campaign against TicketBastard. |

I always call the venue managers office to ask where, if possible, I can purchase tickets besides TicketBastard and I tell tell them why if they ask. |

45 bucks to see Clapton is still extremely worth it, so stop bitching.. On a side note I went to Clapton's Crossroads tour a few years back. Apparently it sold out in 20 minutes but I still managed to get 4 tickets at around 80 a piece. The next day they were going for 1500 a piece on craigslist. I still went, of course, but it really makes you think, those weird scalper dudes you see outside concerts all the time might actually be making a decent living off doing that... |

I always by my tix last minute on Craigslist. Ticketmaster is ridiculous and they always give you crappy seats no matter how far in advance you buy them. |

I'm more pissed about the fact the ticket is only $27. I saw Clapton last year at Oracle Arena in Oakland and it was about $75 for the nosebleed section. |

That's why we call them TicketBastard instead of TicketMaster |

Don't get me started on internet ticket purchasing! What really p***** me off is when more than one company is handling the tickets for the same frickin show in the same frickin country!! |

i say F ticketmaster and their made up BS charges...not sure why it is legal for them to keep adding on BS charges but more importantly I am not sure why dumbasses keep using them.
do we not understand the power the consumer has is absolute? IF you boycott them and send emails to them en masse telling them their BS is fing BS and you will not buy their finf BS until they unBS it they will stop doing this type of fing BS. |

yeah they do this to try to get people to go out and buy them :/ it's always cheaper, but it's not like it's easy to try to find places to buy tickets besides online now. Luckily I don't buy too many a year. |

I bought season passes for the local theme park this year, and opted to print them at home instead of mailing them. There was a $3 fee. For printing them. On my own printer. |

i bought tickets a while back at one of their authorized store dealers, it was 10$ cheaper then online, and the guy got into the system, before the presale, and held onto the tickets we wanted. |
