ticketmaster needs to go away. im sick of 15 dollar tickets costing 30 dollars. wish i had all those receipts.
We keep all of our tickets and have a collage made out of them. I wonder if the tickets will be good enough for a refund.
Go to the box office. That's what I do. Less fees. And support local music. Which I shouldn't have to say to bunch of bass players.
My current living situation rules out any box office visits. I do support local music to the cities I travel to on weekends though.
Also, I simply like to b****. It's a good time.
My only other option is stop seeing live music at venues contracted by Ticketmaster/LiveNation and that's just not going to happen.
All great points, I guess my music tastes have led me to smaller venues.

A lot of box offices won't sell tickets as part of their agreement with Ticketmaster.
Or you still pay the ticketmaster fee at the box office...
