Convenience charge !!!

Post by CAPT sand »

Tampa: convenience charge $10.30 per ticket :evil: :evil:

OUCH!
what would they do if I just sailed away
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today
Runnin' low on stories is what made it a ball
What would they do if made no landfall

When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.

I could've bought another $50 ticket with the service charge I had on 7 tickets to Charlotte = $51.40. :x

Don't you love how they hit you with both convenience charges AND an order processing charge? :evil: What the heck is the difference? I guess one is for the right pocket, and one is for the left pocket. :roll:

I was a little peeved myself. Two tix should have been about sixty bucks, but after all was said and done, they cost me 80 bucks. After that round with Ticketbastard, my arse was pretty sore.

You know, psychologically speaking it would be better if Ticketmaster just rolled the (in)convenience charge, event fee, state license and tax, and everythng else into one big ball of manure as the advertised ticket price, then they could tell you that there is no service charge, event fee, etc etc, and then everyone would be happy because they were thinking they were getting a deal. I would prefer not knowing (in this case) that I was getting screwed.
Defies logic, I guess.
