ticketmaster is a bunch of bastards

seriously. i know i'm not the first person to express outrage toward ticketmaster, but i'm still pissed. i bought a ticket for peter, bjorn, and john awhile back through ticketmaster and had it send to my email. the date is approaching so i opened the email to print it. for the first time, i noticed all the extra charges they tacked onto the ticket price. holy crap! i haven't felt this way since my college days. remember all those shady fees that would add up to as much as your tuition? all hidden with nondescript names. jerks. and then they would never let you print from the computer lab, even though you had paid for the god damn paper in those fees! there is still some residual anger, i suppose, but remember i paid for the last few years of school myself.

anyway, back to ticketmaster. get this:
ticket- $20
convenience charge- $7.85 (!!!)
additional tax- $0.65
order processing charge- $4.85
ticketfast charge- $2.70

total- $36.05

basically doubled the price of the fucking ticket! outrageous! wtf is up with all these charges? i think i'm gonna start boycotting venues that use ticketmaster. fuck that.
