Has anyone checked into any connections between Ticketmaster and the companies that make the ink jet cartridges for computer printers?In an attempt to 'expedite' the whole concert ticket purchasing process I just print off all of my own tickets now, which for some reason still costs me money. But I don't have to worry about having my tickets lost in the mail. Come to think about it, the US Post Office may be mixed up in this too...I swear I go through one of those Ink Cartridges a week because Ticketmaster makes every square inch of that page say SOMETHING in a bright color. I am willing to bet that Ticketmaster is in cahoots with the office supply companies that make those things...i am sure of it.THE MAN will find a way to make you pay at every turn if you don't keep your eyes on the prize ;-)

Went to a $20 performance in Los Angeles a few months back that unfortunately could only have a ticket purchased thru Ticketmaster. I already made the decision to go and purchased an airline ticket but wasn't happy that the ticket final cost was $47. I opted to pick up my ticket at the box office. Don't know if the printing costs of doing it myself would have rounded out the ticket price at $50. Regardless...it was a drag dealing with a ticket that ended up being more than twice the cost of what was advertised.
Then again...my airline ticket had a bunch of fees added to it as well that was nearly another $60 so I guess I really shouldn't be surprised.
At least when I've bid on tickets online from eBay (which may have come scalpers and discounters) I actually ended up with tickets prices lower than the face value of the ticket. How strange is that?
