Eagles Say Bye Bye To Ticketmaster Fees

When the Eagles tour this January people will not have to shovel out extra coin for convenience charges. Ticketmaster is eliminating the convenience fee in an effort to give artists more control over their fans' ticket buying experience, an initiative of long-time Eagles manager and newly-appointed Ticketmaster Inc. CEO irving Azoff has pledged to do.
Fans buying tickets for the Eagles' January 12 concert in Hampton, Va., January 14 in Charlotte, N.C., January 16 in North Charleston, S.C., the January 17 concert in Greensboro, N.C., January 19 in Greenville, S.C., January 23 in New Orleans, and January 24 in Birmingham, Ala., will not have to pay a Ticketmaster convenience fee, but a shipping fee still will apply to those who decide not to use TM's print-at-home feature.
Ticketmaster is supposedly in talks with clients and testing an 'all-in ticketing' program for all its events that permanantly abolishes the usually heavy convenience fee.. Does this mean the ticket price will actually be more expensive? Only time will tell. (Sounds like a scam to me.)

Pearl Jam must be kicking themselves for all the trouble and failure they put themselves through for fighting Ticketmaster over this back in the 90's.
Ticketmaster scam? No.
I think the Eagles should pay their fans to go see them in concert. Perhaps then the fans could live life in the fast lane for an hour or two!
eagles tickets are madonna expensive, huh? $300 a pop?
