Cannot avoid Ticketmaster or any ticket selling website if one wants to see an event.
Take it or leave it- I guess.
One thing I can write, it beats back in the day trying to call or wait for the wrist band and then wait on person.
Now, it's a website and a waiting room!
Ha! At least no dial up now;)
Fees, taxes, etc. it is what it is.
The bottom line:
It works.
I log on.
I secured tickets yet again for the event I 'needed'.
Done:)
