Frickin’ Ticketmaster

Monday, February 25, 2008 at 10:08am

Not like this is news or anything, but Ticketmaster and corporate-owned arenas can suck it. What the hell is a “convenience charge,” anyway? I should be charging THEM for convenience. I don’t find it “convenient” being forced to step over vomiting teens in order to use the bathroom. Nor do I find it “convenient” to purchase lawn tickets but not be allowed to choose where on the lawn I’d like to sit. And does anyone really find it “convenient” to pay $8 a cup for domestic beer?

Having said that, I’m going to see The Police + Elvis Costello this summer.

    Doesn’t it seem like their time should be over? It seems like venues or artists should be able to bypass them in the age of the interweb. Or what am I missing? Besides The Police. Congrats on the tickets!

    I really don’t understand it. You’re right; their time SHOULD be over.

    It’s pretty much legalized scalping, only not as handy.

    I had no idea they were still touring! I was so sour to find out that they would be coming through my area when I was a week from my due date. Of course, now I’ve got mothereffingasscancer to deal with, but this is definitely worth scheduling my chemo around…I pretty much have my trump card if there’s any “tell us why we should give you backstage passes” radio competitions and anyhow, don’t hugs from Sting cure cancer? Srsly…

    Hugs from Sting totally cure cancer, and bonus points if you can get him to literally kiss your ass.

    Hang in there, sweetie.

    Tanks. (I really gotta watch it with the threadjacking).

    But for reals–why does Ticketmaster still exist? Mafia connections? Illuminati? No…SCIENTOLOGY! Stupid Tom Cruise and his service charges!!!1

    Oooh I bet you’re right. Fucking Scientologists.
