I'm glad for any company that wants to overthrow Ticketmaster and their "convenience charge" that they tack on to every ticket.

  Common misconception, actually most "convenience charge" amounts are determined by the venue or act selling the tickets. -9 years in sporting event ticketing.

    Ah thanks for the insight. I just hate when I go to buy a $20 ticket and by the time I actually get the ticket, it cost me $35 with all the extra charges tacked on.

    Oh, I'm quite aware of where the money goes and the motivations for making TicketMaster be the fall man for it. What I don't like is that if I saw an ad for a washing machine for sale at Sears for $300 then went to Sears and they would only sell it to me for $450, that would land Sears in some serious legal trouble. Somehow, it's just fine to blatantly advertise goods at a price for which they are not obtainable on the internet.

      I'm not defending Ticketmaster, but I just return a rental car to Hertz. The one-day charge was $36. Yet my total bill, after all the other charges, was $54 -- a full 50% markup. http://imgur.com/FWiEGIQ http://imgur.com/FWiEGIQ

    Yep - Ticketmaster knows everyone hates them. They are happy to be the "bad person" when it's the venue that's charging the bulk of the fee.
