RUSH Tickets

I saw today that RUSH tickets went on sale for June in my area. The tickets were $48 each (worth it IMO) but then there were the "fees"

$10.60 for each ticket (I was trying for 4) for a "convienience charge"

$7.00 each for a "venue fee"

$5.00 for a "transaction fee"

and finally $2.50 for the luxury of printing up the tickets online.

Thats a total of $192.00 for the tickets and $77.50 in fees! Total BS. I don't even want to go anymore

This is the reason I stopped going to most "live" events. Heck you could buy every CD they have for that.

Yeah, the last concert I went to, the tickets cost $30.00, but after fees, it was about $65 a ticket.

Yup, ticket fees are absolute crap. The people responsible for this will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

That's why I go to smaller venues and see smaller (often better) artists. Best concert I ever went to (Josh Ritter) only cost $10.

Also, the only time I've ever heard of Rush was from Futarama, referring to Fry's video game habits in the 1980s.

I know if you go to the actual venue, you can dodge some of the fees.

I was going to try that tomorrow. It's about a 20 minute drive, so what the heck.
