can someone explain to me how ticketmaster can get away with their evil prices?

seriously- you buy two tickets that go for 30 dollars and it could end up coming out to 90 bucks with all their fees. it kinda pisses me off and most concerts are sold through ticketbastard unfortunately

The fee I really dislike is the parking fee...

I bought 4 tickets for me and friends, we all got charged for parking, we are all going in my car. :nonono:

I printed my tickets out on my own computer and still had to pay a science-damned convenience fee.

That's what I said! I thought I'd get to skip the fee if I printed it out on my own. Not the case.
It cost the exact same to have them mail me a physical copy of the tickets via USPS.

The problem isn't that they exist, it's that they have a virtual monopoly on the business.

So what, are venues too fucking stupid/lazy to sell their own seats? Why is it even existent in the first place?

You can get tickets at most venues but ticketmaster is unfortunately the most used and often times it's more "convenient" to pay the damn fees then risk the show being sold-out or paying the gas to drive down to the venue early.
