Ticketmaster ripoff

[ShoogarBear]

Ticketmaster charges you $4 per ticket extra for electronic delivery.

It's been bugging me for a while but it still pisses me off every time I do it.

Is will call any cheaper?

I tried to tell you people. But did you listen? Nooo, you just whined about how many weird songs were on Vitalogy.

[ChumpDumper]

I haven't used TM in awhile.

Apparently there is no will-call option for the Wiz. There's no charge for standard mail.

There's no way it's more expensive for them to do e-delivery than US mail.

I like the e-tickets because you can never lose them, and you don't have to coordinate distributing them.

Nice Eddie Vedder reference.

See, I had no idea what he was talking about, but I knew if I just kept quiet someone would eventually come along and explain it.

I have season tix for the Mavs so the email delivery is free but I have bought tix this season, extra ones through Ticketmaster and the electronic delivery option is only $2.50 per order (not per tix).


Just checked the Spurs' site, it's only $1.75 per order for electronic delivery BUT there are lots of other b.s. fees like a building facility fee of $1.35 per ticket and a convenience charge of $5.25 per ticket, ouch!

Are you going to DC to watch the game? If you are you should have gotten tickets off stubhub. I got 4 for the Dallas game last year for $17 each, way below face value in the 2nd level up centercourt. Then again the Wiz sucked last year come march

Guess electricity is more expensive up here.

The Spurs have the same deal with free email delivery of season tickets, but interestingly I just checked the account manager and they said that there "may" be a e-delivery fee, so I guess they reserve the right to charge in the future.

Yeah, Ticketmaster always charged the convenience charge with all their tickets, which makes this additional charge just to email the pdf file pure BS.

I think for at least a year or so.

No real deals on Stubhub at present. If I wanted to wait another week or so prices would have doubtlessly dropped, but I didn't want the uncertainty.

really, is this when you buy the tickets online, or is it through the ticket exchange or both? Ive bought tix through the xchange and doesnt charge me a fee for it. (i think)

That's why they're known as TicketBas s!
