Goddammit Ticketmaster, why do you have to charge me 10 bucks in fees to buy and print my ticket online? You dudes ever feel like you're being fucked because a company has a market cornered? Fuckin' RAWR, nerd rage and shit!


What big evil companys have anally raped you lately?


And so help me if this turns into "Fuck Micro$hit!" I will get my belt, and you know that I know where to hit so I don't leave a mark.

    Ain't just ticketmaster, friend. All ticket companies do that.

    I just bought tickets last week for NIN in August. NIN distributes through their own company. Tickets cost $45 a piece. After fees it was $109 for two.

    Yeah fuck ticketmaster they charge you 2 bucks to fucking print your own ticket. So your choice buying online is either paying to have them delivered to you to the tune of 10-20 dollars or printing your own for a 2 dollar fee as well.

    actually ticketmaster will ship you the tickets for free

    it only costs money for express delivery

    and the charge for printing them online is 5 bucks not 2

    I bought two $22 tickets to see Dethklok, and here is what ticketmaster charged me:
    $16.30 "convenience charge"
    $2.50 ticket delivery, despite I had to print out my own fucking tickets
    $5.36 processing fee
    $68.16 total

    That's a fucking 54% increase on the original price.

    ticketmaster bought ticketweb, which is a ticket reselling site

    word is they are limiting the amount available on ticketmaster and link people to ticketweb so they pay more

    I just got finished paying nearly nine hundred dollars to a mechanic.

    The worst part is I've worked in computer repair, and so I'm pretty sure that they're padding out the job with shit I don't actually need, but I don't know enough about cars to actually call them on it.

    So basically I knew I was getting fucked while I was getting fucked and I basically just stood there and got fucked.

    Good times.

    See, I paid $850 to fix a car not worth half that, and I didn't have a choice because the guy was like, "Well, while you're here for inspection, this and this needs to be fixed..." until, hey, I'm out 850 for an inspection that should have cost about 50.

    My family has gone to the same family of Japanese mechanics since basically the day my dad got a car.

    If a dude ever tells me when I go to a routine inspection that I need to pay for something he "found" during the routine inspection, I will make him eat a dick, and then I will break whatever he fixed.
