These are the final charges for my up coming concert. First off, when did two $25.00 tickets turn into $68.65? A lot of things hack me off, but nothing tweaks me more than a convenience charge. Thank you for producing a computer program 15 years ago that allows me to purchase tickets from the comfort of my living room. It’s just a pain in the butt to stop by the ticket office that I have to walk by as I enter the concert. Just make the price of the ticket $34.00. I still would have purchased it. Second, if you’re going to charge me a convenience charge for one ticket, why the heck would you charge me a second convenience charge for two tickets? If anything I just made life easier on you, ticket master, by buying two tickets at one time. Finally, where does this money go? ($18.65) I picture a Montgomery Burns character sitting behind a nice dark mahogany desk with a little counter in font of him that increases incrementally by $18.65 every time some poor sap like myself clicks confirm ticket order. Oh and one last gripe, the $2.50 fast ticket charge seems a little extreme, considering I chose to print the tickets myself. Yup, I got charged to print them myself…. Maybe I should invoice them for the ink that I used to have them printed.

I have the same gripe. My problem is even it you go to the box office and purchase the tickets in person, there is still a convenience charge. I do not understand what a convenience charge is!
