I Hate ticketmaster....nothing but legalized scalping!!!!!
I give Ticketmaster two middle fingers up
I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick...twice...than buy tickets from ScalpMaster.
Ticketmaster pretty much controls the ticketing market and now they are branching out and controlling the artists as well? This SUCKS big time.
Each one of the comment made above were done by people that have no idea what are they talking about.
I would try to explain by why bother. If not for Ticketmaster you would not be able to buy tickets to your show period, and convenience fee issue is a cost of running business. Everything else goes back to Artist, Promoter, Venue, Facility etc.
Just because Ticketmaster decides to list it all together why do you hate.
by all means, please tell us more kudlacz.
If not for Ticketmaster, i wouldnt be paying a $12 fee for a $15 ticket..
