You can usually still go down to the venue during business hours and buy tickets without TM fees, right?
What's hilarious is when I get mad at ticketmaster for charging me convenience fees when I am actively choosing not to walk, bike, or drive down to the venue and circumvent those fees since doing so would be inconvenient. I still make that choice while shaking my fist, and bask in my irony.
Nope. If the venue even has a box office any more, the person working is just filling out the Ticketmaster webpage for you and getting all of the fees added on.
Ooof yeah that's brutal. My friends and I held onto that for a long time though because we liked avoiding the fees but also having the hard copy classic tickets to put in scrap books and what not. I know you can still do it some places but I believe you that their numbers are dwindling.
