Venues Come and Go, But Ticketing Fees Are Forever

 

December 2, 2020

 

I just got notified of a series of virtual concerts.

The prices are the same as if we were going to see the event live. Even better,

 

Even though we wouldn’t be setting foot near the place, there are still ticketing fees.


I remember writing several years ago about having to pay $2 extra per ticket if I had them printed at a local outlet instead of picking them up or having them mailed to me.

Sad to know that some things remain constant.

 

(And yes, I know that the agency that handles the ticketing still has its costs to cover; but there’s no printing, no shipping, no handling…No nothin’. Come on! Cut people some slack.)
