Hmmm, so you're saying that I should eat it and take a loss. Hmmm, interesting but I am not too fond of that idea. For the record, face value is face value but if you uy tickets you are charged a fee from ticketmaster and it runs bout twenty bucks. Should a seller eat the ticketmaster fees as well? Hmmm, I'm not fond of that idea either. If I have to pay fees, then why should I be the only one?cowboyjunkie wrote:I've always assumed face value includes the TM fees. Do your best to recoup exactly what you spent on them. If $150 is the exact cost of the tickets with TM fees, that is a very fair price. However, to save the hassle, you could just bring them to the show and sell them on your way in. I made $20 and a rum and coke for a lawn seat in Oahu last week. Below face value but no hassle. Plus, I made somebody's day without that dirty eBay feeling you mentioned.spoonerhizolehound wrote:I take offense to the, "Don'tpay more than face value" statement. I had and have extra tickets and posted here first for face and fees. Lots of people jumped but nobody bit. So, to recoop my money back I resorted to selling on ebay. Now, I have to pay ebay fees, shipping fees and am I supposed to eat that? I am still selling my tickets but now i have to recoop the fees that I have incurred not only from ticketmaster but from ebay and shipping as well. Everybody wantsd to see Jimmy but nobody wants to pay. What's up with that? I am selliing my tickets now at $150 a pop. This is because of the fees that I have had to shell out. If parrottheads wanted to go without paying extra charges than they should have bought the tickets before I incurred other charges. I felt like scum putting them on ebay but I had to get my money back. So, sometimes you have to charge a little extra and I'm not out to rob anybody but extra charges, extra money. Hello?
