| I vote for ticketmaster, hands down... Ticketmaster needs to DIE!!!! 
Forget their monopoly on tickets, forget just about anything else about them, they are the worst.
Why?
I'll tell you...
I booked tickets MANY years ago via them, as they were the ONLY place to buy tickets for a comedy show I wanted to see. The show was canceled a few days later.
Tickets were NEVER issued.
They refunded the ticket price, but refused to refund their "handling" charge... 
Have NEVER dealt with them since...

While I sympathize for your plight, they still had to do the back-end work to get you those tickets. Was it thier fault the show was cancelled? If not, I believe they have a right to deny certain funds back. They certainly aren't the only ones who do that. |

once places started forgoing TM as their primary seller, ticket prices went down, and refunds were much easier if the show was canceled. TM is a pile of shit, and im glad I no longer have to deal with them. |

TMs "handling" fee, to which they even charge on digital PaH tickets, is now up to $20 per ticket depending on the price of the ticket, and is non-refundable. If possible, I buy right from the venue that the concert is to be held at, and if not, I will not deal with TM at all. |

| Didn't know they were still playing. Many of those '90s bands have since disbanded as they are now getting pushed off the charts by Lady GaGa, Ke$ha, Hot Chele Rae, All American Rejects, and Owl City.
Some '90s bands are still going strong like Green Day. At the rate they're going they'll be the millennial generation's version of the Rolling Stones. |
