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????

Kaneman · 09-02-2009, 12:47 PM

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, 12:51 PM

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

CrazyKell · 09-02-2009, 12:53 PM

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

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.
