Ok, so online ticket sales website don't actually have $100 service charge fees, but they might as well. We like music; therefore, we like concerts. We just ordered tickets for the upcoming blink 182 tour. 3 tickets at $35 a piece is an amazing deal. yeah, we'd pay $50 to see this band. but then add on $7 service fee x 3=$21. wait, ticketmaster is charging us $21 to freaking order tickets from their website? it's not like we talked to someone on the phone for half an hour and wasted their time. we're just paying for the machine who took our credit card number. wtf.
ticketmaster and livenation have gotten a lot of grief lately about these ridiculous service charges and they should. you can't honestly tell us that there's $7 worth of service fees for a piece of paper. why do you think we save these ticket stubs? because they're worth $7 people!!! livenation recently had a no service charge day, which is great, but nothing that we were buying were onsale that day. was anything though besides the jo bros maybe? are they even on tour? oh right, we don't care.
it's a monopoly. no one else offers tickets and we can't wait to buy them at the venue. us the audience is screwed either way and you'll have the top 5 executives rolling around in their filthy pools of cash money. alright, we'll get off our soapbox. but seriously, these corporations need to do some business rearranging.
daily high five: we'll say it, we love michael jackson, even before we saw the E! special they half-assed edited and put on an hour after he died. we had his cassessette tapes and learned the thriller dance just to say we knew it. his music is ageless and that's why we're giving his contributions to the music industry a high five.
daily bitch slap: roger federer. he's just a arrogant dbag. enough said.
