umm.. unless the show sells out, right?
the charges are obscene..there is no need to make excuses because we're the 930 Club Unofficial Booster Society
they are ridiculous, there's no question.
but rarely do shows sell out within hours of going on sale (i can think of only a few in the past few years), and the box office is open for a good chunk of the day. i'm not being a blind cheerleader for the club, but i would rather people support a transaction at the box office then pay ticketfly fees. i'd like to see it stay open.

it'd be nice to see USMH and MPP tickets on sale at the 9:30 box office as well.

fuck it, ask me to pick them up and i'll mail them to you.
The expensive service fees must be in place to subsidize the cheap drinks ;)

so you're saying that getting tickets in person is a pain? that's it's a waste of time, and that your time is valuable? so valuable that you'd be willing to pay to not have to do this, to be able to get tickets from the comfort of your own home?

oh I see..so any fee is ok by this reasoning? heck i guess they could charge $200 if it was a concert on the west coast as its worth $200, right? Otherwise I'd have to buy a plane ticket to fly out there and get them in person
a limited handling/service fee is fine…. a $10 fee on a $25 ticket is not fine even if it is more "convenient" than driving into DC and picking them up in person.

Well final cost of the ticket is what should influence your decision. 25 ticket with 10 dollar of fees is still less than a 40 dollar ticket with no fees. But when a show is cancelled and they don't give you back the fees that should be illegal. I think everyone would be happier if they just said tickets were a price and that is what you paid. All the extra fees pisses people off and I have backed out of ticket purchases because of high fees, convience charges, print at home fees, processing fees. It is ridiculous and I am sure it hurts the venues. I am sure everyone would just rather everyone see the price was 35 dollars than see the price is 25 dollars and 10 dollar fees. The government should start charging the concert industry with a lot of crimes.

Illegal? They still performed the service for which the fees were charged. If you go to a show and drink six drinks before the show starts and then the show gets cancelled because of a power outage (for example), you don't get a refund for the drinks you had.
