I’m with you. I will go to a great deal of trouble to avoid handing Ticketmaster any of my money. I have no problem with a true fee for value added service. But I cannot accept that Ticketmaster provides a service commensurate with their charges.
Heaven forbid if you ever try to get a refund, or have a problem. Customer service is definitely NOT a priority with them. The customer is only a necessary nuisance.
