Why do we allow Ticketmaster to continue to exist? This is possibly the worst system in the world for consumers. A single company controls access to all of a commodity and lobbies against and harangues anyone that may try to provide a similar service. Yeah, that'll make those surcharges hover in the as-much-as-they-can-squeeze-out-of-us range.
Well, I'm proud to say that I took a stand this week. I took a 30 min metro ride during rush hour to buy tickets from the box office, rather than pay their service charge. Yeah, my time, metro fare and aggravation may have made the $18 tax on two tickets worthwhile. But honestly its more about sticking it to Ticketmaster. I'd still have done it if I lost money just to rub it in their faces.
