Can't believe they charge $5 to get a physical ticket mailed.

You serious bro?

I thought it’s been like this for years! Obviously mailing a ticket requires someone printing it, taking to post office or putting it in a mail bin for pick up or whatever


Having it emailed to you basically requires no effort…I think it’s a completely automated process

it has…was just annoyed when I saw it
by the way…the ticket printing and mailing is an automated process too

It's not free, but there isn't some human printing out the ticket, getting an envelope, putting it in there, handwriting your name then licking a stamp

So a crusty complaint prefaced with “I can’t believe..”

Dude you acting like you are in the September of your years….

seems to me this is a case where they're charging not to cover costs, but to modify consumer behavior.  virtual tickets are easier (and cheaper) so the venue operators are trying to steer people towards that option.

serious question: you're willing to drive all the way to Philly for an upgraded opener?

seems strange to tack 5+ hours of driving for a 25-minute set…

have you met Vas, I could see him doing this

You do understand the lunatic wing of this board (vas, challenged, formerly killsaly and azaghal) have nothing in their life sans music. They don’t have families. No one loves them. What the hell else are they going to do aside from music?

Vas lives in Baltimore. Google maps tells me it's 60 mins to DC and 125 mins to Philly from Baltimore. The Philly show is also on a Friday night, whereas the DC show is Thursday.

Take that back as to Vas. People love Vas.

Also, Philly is maybe 1:50 for me from Towson. 930 club is 1:10. Similar for Vas.
That said, I would not drive to Philly for a 25 minute Julia Jacklin set.
