I wasn't going to go to Trans Siberian Orchestra this year but I found out tonight that my 15-yr-old niece wanted to go and needed someone to take her. So myself, along with two of her uncles all volunteered and four of us are now going.

I went to buy the tickets tonight. $43.50 for the ticket plus another $15 per ticket in service charges. The service charges are 33% of the bloody ticket price! Then to add insult to injury, I go to checkout and there's another $5.75 processing fee tagged onto the price. For what?! I printed the tickets at home. They don't even have to mail them to me. What a bloody rip off. I am getting so sick of this scam called TicketMaster. Unfortunately, there isn't another alternative. When will someone come along to compete with this company.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Anyone?

Grrrrrrrrr.
