Service charge unappreciation thread

[CousinEddie]

shit sucks, for reals.

Always hurts.  First, the knife goes in, then TWIST!  Forget health care reform.  Congress needs to tackle ticket service charges!  I wonder if we'll get nailed hard for parking too!

[Haldon]

i'll sign the petition

it has got a bit out of hand

[shananana]

and just think when the LN/TM merge goes through...

[edbcu]

i'm pretty sure it's already gone through

They do suck and what sucks more is that there seems to be the convenience fee and service fee. Why the need for two fees?

You can all join my legally bitching thread over in the "off topic" whatever area, because not only are the "convenience" charges inconvenient, by my math ticket prices have gone up nearly 300% since I've been "of concert-going age", namely 10 years

You forgot the senator who brought up the whole BCS is unfair thing...

They really suck big time.

What's even worse was a show I went to in Philly in 07 and had  TM service charge + arena charge ($20.00), whatever the hell that is + handling charge,taxes,shipping ( standard mail) totaled over $40.00 per ticket over face !!

How about Live Nation?

Paid $14.00 in fees for a $20.00 face lawn ticket for the Allmans. WTF.
