Just bought through ticketmaster (none / 0) (#3)
by straytjakket on Thu Jul 24, 2003 at 10:30:20 AM PDT

I wish I had read this gripeline 2 days ago. I just purchased tickets through ticketmaster and I would not have done so if I'd known this ahead of time. Fortunately, I gave an email address that I only use for this sort of thing, but I had to give my home address also. What really burns me is that they charged me $8.50 per ticket to order online and then they charged me an additional $1.50 to allow me to print my tickets out on my printer. Amazon.com makes money by selling itmes online at a reduced cost while ticketmaster makes money by selling tickets online at a greatly increased cost! Something is really backwards here..... I bought 4 tickets, so they made about $35.00 off of my purchase, and then they sold my information for more profit!!!!
