than paying a broker $175 for $84 woth of tickets. I don't usually pay 25% more either and I'm sure as hell not going to pay a 100% or more mark-up to a broker!12volt, I am looking at my tickets to Dallas -and for two tickets the convenience charge is $19.08, the handling fee is $4.00, and the retail sales tax is $1.72 which equals $24.80 divided by 2 tickets, that's $12.40 - which is NOT measly money to me. $3 sure, anyone can s*** up a $3 loss, but $12.40 PER TICKET....that's what I'm talking about.12Volt wrote:As opposed to the ridiculously inflated ticket prices when going to a broker? Give me a break. Why is everyone complaining about a measily $3 fee to ticketmaster? I'll pay a minimal fee to ticketmaster over going through a broker anyday.psychjava wrote:I have mixed feelings about ticketmaster. I am not a fan of them, nor will I ever be convinced to be one. I'm okay with the actual charge for the tickets, however, the "fees" are outrageous and just plain highway robbery.
Amen to that.12Volt wrote:Ok, I did undervalue the feesExcuse me? $3? I have a ticket order in at this moment that the ticket cost me $42 each for 2, the facility charge cost $3.50 which I cannot blame on TM, but they did charge me $7.90 per ticket for convenience of doing business with them. THEN they charged me $4.10 for an "order processing fee". So for $82 worth of tickets I am paying them $19.90. Don't know about you, but I usually don't pay someone 25% more because they are doing their job. Granted, I will tip a server this much, but not for basic service. I am talking about them reeeeeaaalllly doing a great job.
But my point was that I would personally much rather pay them $19.90 more for $84 worth of tickets (42 x 2 = 84)
But that would only work if you do a $hitty job like TM does.tommcat327 wrote:hey,that gives me an idea.i'm goin to work tomorrow and demand a convenience fee for doing my jobJTrevisol wrote:Excuse me? $3?

Oh, and be careful about the TicketFast option. 1) you will not be able to resell if you have people back out (anyone can print dozens from the file, but only the first person can get in) and 2) if the show cancels, you do not get that $2.50 back.

I'm going in to see tommcat's boss tomorrow to collect double his salary, give him his usual pay, then run off with my profits just to relieve his company of the burden of paying him directly for his service.psychjava wrote:no haggling....just say 50...and they have no choice but to accept it and like ittommcat327 wrote:

How about this: I go to his boss, charge 10 times what he gets, give you double his salary and I sit back and know that I am not ripping anyone off, I am just giving them the service, er, I mean A service.12Volt wrote:I'm going in to see tommcat's boss tomorrow to collect double his salary, give him his usual pay, then run off with my profits just to relieve his company of the burden of paying him directly for his service.psychjava wrote:no haggling....just say 50...and they have no choice but to accept it and like ittommcat327 wrote:

And remember, Tomm should see not one penny of the extra money because, God knows, he makes enough money (and we should collect all we can from his hard work).12Volt wrote:HeeHee, Now we can all kick back, put our feet up and bask in the glory of a job well done!JTrevisol wrote:How about this: I go to his boss, charge 10 times what he gets, give you double his salary and I sit back and know that I am not ripping anyone off, I am just giving them the service, er, I mean A service.12Volt wrote:I'm going in to see tommcat's boss tomorrow to collect double his salary, give him his usual pay, then run off with my profits just to relieve his company of the burden of paying him directly for his service.psychjava wrote:no haggling....just say 50...and they have no choice but to accept it and like ittommcat327 wrote:
