Everyone knows that they've sucked for many years, but I just went to buy tickets to a $15 event that has fricking $10.30 in Ticketmaster fees PER TICKET added on top. That's roughly 67% of the original ticket price added on top of the ticket price.

What the frick could Ticketmaster be possibly doing that is so important and time-consuming that they need to be making this much money per every ticket they sell? They must be one of the most profitable companies around.

Did you get the tickets mailed to you? I know there is an extra fee for that.

Recently purchased tickets to Raw through Ticketmaster, this was my first experience with it.

It was not nearly as easy as I thought it was going to be.

I used to work at a live entertainment venue that had a ticketmaster. Would you believe they are just as awful on the client side as they are on the consumer side?

frick you...I tried to get tickets to the JT concert the day they came out....sold out. I pay a premium for them on stub hub. Get an email today from ticketmaster saying they have extras for $70 less per ticket. I don't want to hear about your meesley $11

ETA: the concert is this Sunday. They waited until 3-4 days before the concert to release the tickets

Surprising how artists rant and rave about every social issue in the world, yet few to none fight ticketmaster.

Buy your tickets at the venue. Most do not charge the TM service fees. Also, the venue will get their cut of the service charge too so maybe mention that when you buy your tickets. I've worked for TM a few times in the past and don't generally have a problem with what they do but some of the venues, promoters and fan clubs will add charge after charge that no one knows about. It just gets added into the service charge.

If a politician campaigned on bringing them down I'd vote for him.

I was hoping a WWE fan could help me out here.

I purchased tickets for RAW at the CajunDome for September 15th through Ticketmaster and I went ahead and purchased two the Commemorative hologram tickets or whatever they are.

My 4 tickets arrived yet they were all normal tickets, it even had a receipt that said I ordered 2 of the special ones. Do the commemorative tickets just novel tickets that ship later or do i have to contact Ticketmaster?

Is anyone even familiar with these? Any help would be appreciated.
