Why I Fucking HATE Ticketmaster
 
I "got" tickets to see radiohead...but by the time I signed in it told me my request "cannot be processed.

at least they didnt get the $9 they were trying to charge me in service fees.

Yup, ticketmaster sucks alright. And it's full of scalpers cause they don't inforce jack shit. They don't wanna alienate the scalpers

I hate Ticketmaster, but there's no way I'm paying 200 dollars for fifty dollar tickets from some scalper.

A friend of mine managed to get 6 tickets to the show on the 20th. If we don't get that many people to go I can pm you, wearescientists.

How much do they charge in sevice charges anyway? I've never used it personally.

It varies according to market, artist and popularity. You can believe that an act like Radiohead commands premium surcharges, just 'cause TM knows that the shows will sell out.

Teddy Roosevelt would have broken TM up just like he did with all of the other trusts/monopolies.
