So i bought my ticket to the stereolab show in chicago tonight... since i live 4 hours away, going to the venue's box office to get the ticket was out of the question... and the only other way to get the ticket was to order through ticketmaster.com or by phone through ticket master. Somehow a ticket that was supposed to cost $20 ended up being $32.82... As you can see that ticket master likes to double dip their customers - not only did i pay a "convenience fee" (whose convenience? mine or theirs?) and an "order processing fee" which gave them $11.55 or roughly 58% percent of the original price. what a crock of shit i say. 
Whats even more appalling is that i could have printed my ticket at home for an additional $2.50 - now why would i pay $2.50 to save them $0.39 in postage? they should have paid me the $0.39 to print it out for myself!!!you could say i'm frugal (read: cheap bastard), but 58% just seems ridiculous.
