I went to buy 2 tickets for a small show today, and after all their ridiculous fees, Ticketmaster wanted to charge me twice the original ticket price.
I wanted to buy 2 tickets for The Haunted/Dark Tranquility show at the Gramercy in NY. The original ticket price is $16.50, just take a look at what Ticketmaster was going to charge me.
First of all, why is there a $6.10 "convenience" charge for each ticket? This alone seems like overcharging, but then they have to add another order processing charge. But the shipping charge is the worst. The show is only 10 days from now so they won't allow for standard shipping, which is stupid in itself because it won't take more then 3-4 days to mail 2 tickets. Plus, they aren't allowing me to print or pickup my tickets. Therefore the cheapest shipping method is UPS 3 day, which is a whopping $14.50. I don't know what they plan on shipping these tickets in, but that much for 2 pieces of paper is outrageous. This brought the total to $64.55, about double the face value of the tickets.
Needless to say, I didn't buy these, I'm just going to show up early and buy them at the box office. Good job, Ticketmaster.

Be careful about that - I asked one of my friends from Chicago to stop by a box office and pick tickets up for me. Apparently Ticketmaster is all expansive because the convenience charge ended up being $10 per ticket even though she had to drive to the box office and pick it up. How convenient is that?
You're not the only one who can't figure these fees out!
