Nevermind trying to find the cheapest prices. Nevermind having to deal with scalpers trying gauge you out of your money. Nevermind the ticket turning out to be a sham piece of paper that leaves you jilted at the door. Nevermind having to find yourself at a dark shady alley dealing with street toughs over Leslie Feist tickets.
Yes Ticketmaster tickets are a little expensive. Yes with a little effort one can get cheaper tickets elsewhere. BUT:
1. I like the secure transaction option Ticketmaster has
2. I like that I can either choose to have the tickets delivered to me or picked up at their nearest Ticketmaster kiosk. Which is just a short drive to the mall.
3. I like how each ticket price breaks down the seating range
4. I like how Ticketmaster's purchasing system allows for fairness, at least to the degree that people aren't "saving seats"
5. Scalpers still slip through but I'm glad that I can't purchase 30-40 tickets as soon as they become available so I can resell them on ebay...wait can I ?
I don't get why people go through so much effort trying to penny pinch their way into cheaper tickets. Want some advice? Pay the extra $$ to save yourself the trouble. Instead try to enter as much contests as you can to win free tickets, or just NOT go, you really don't need to see Katy Perry LIVE do you? Or Taylor Swift? Or Boyz II Men reunion tour?
I lied...I totally would drop some dough to see Boyz II Men..MOTOWNPHILLY BACK AGAIN!
