Ticketmaster Fees

Anyone know the average amount of fees that Ticketmaster tacks on to a $36 lawn seat? Trying to figure out how much I'm gonna need to collect from the crew....

I just got 2 tickets to the MN Wild playoff game next monday. 2 $20 tickets cost me $53. Why do I have to pay 13 dollars to pick them up at will call?
Rip off I call it.

As a matter of fact, my tickets just came in the mail yesterday, so this is easy to answer!

Easy of my $36.00 lawn tickets ended up costing $45.45 after fees.

Most tickets I have bought this year have had $9 to $10 TicketBastard Charges

Which begs the question: this is convenient, HOW? (KNOW it's the only game in town and we have no choice, and I don't begrudge a CENT of the ticket price, but, dammit, what's TM done for us lately?)

You reservists are still welcome to join us on the lawn.

You know, TM still gouges you on the lawn: why should a thirty-odd dollar ticket end up in the mid-to-high forties? They must have some fancy-pants printers there.

Seeing Buffett with 10,000 or so of you closest phriends: PRICELESS!!

Agreed, or none of us would do it, but I deal with TM because I have no choice, not because they're "convenient".

i have to give it to House of Blues for not giving in to ticketmaster. tower of power last fall was only $26.00 per ticket

Ticketmaster fees are outrageous, and tend to be higher for online puchases than they are for in person ones.
