Default ticket bastard

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.

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

You just need to support your local music scene... We get very few big name bands here, but there are a lot of local shows that are still $5-$10 at the door, and some of them are pretty good.
