Just ordered tix for TSO through a fanclub website and still got gigged 36 dollars in fees for 3 tix. Its some racket these guys have with fees just for the sake of charging them.

You're right about that. I skipped a few shows because of the outrageous price. Don't these A-holes know we are in a recession????

Yup, its disgusting. I went online a couple of weeks ago to buy tickets to see Atmosphere and got the same charge. I didn't go to the concert because of it.

wildchild · 09-02-2009, 11:51 AM

yep I generally avoid going to concerts or anything else just because I refuse to pay their charges.

CrazyKell · 09-02-2009, 11:53 AM

Me too. I really have to want to see them to pay that price. Convenience charge my ass. Highway robbery is more like it.

One concert this summer I got raped in charges. Thought it was worth it to impress a girl... didn't work so well

The next one I got two lawn tickets for $20 as an "all in" promotion. Don't care about impressing the little brother.
