I just bought two $25 Tom Petty tickets and the total came out to $83.50 and that included free shipping. Disgusting mystery fees!

greg, did you ask ticketmaster to break down a list of fees?
 
yes ticketmaster is a pinicle of the greed and corruption in our society.
 
I think you should do what Kerrie said and get your money back too!
 
yep, in American people often seem to think that when we wind up getting ripped-off we should just take it as a lesson. however, nothing changes like that and it is much better to stand up for what you believe is right and work to correct the wrongs that have been done, that is what being a truly patriotic American is all about.
 
Kyleb you don't act patriotic in the Political subforum.



Anyways Greg have you gotten any results?

They are a whoremongering monopoly! Unfortunately it's hard to avoid them. The Dead have their own ticket company... encourage your bands to do the same. :)
