Would you go to more games if you didnt have to go through ticketmaster?
I go to buy a $50 ticket and end up paying $15 in fees? -- Cmon'

A few weeks ago I bought 3 $25 tix and a $15 parking pass, cost me around $120. It's ridiculous.

The fees are absurd. I try to buy from craigslist or from someone outside of the venue as often as possible.

I know if you're looking for CBJ tickets or anything at Nationwide Arena, the box office has no fees of any type (and you get to pick your seats).
They have the same deal at the Blueline at Tuttle Mall and at each of the Chiller ice rinks, although there's a $2 per ticket service fee. Still, $66 for three $20 seats is a far cry from $85, especially considering that Ticketmaster's website sucks donkey ass.

Just got tickets for tonights Cavs game on Ebay and the seller emailed me them so I didn't have to pay and fees or shipping. That's normally the route I try to go.

I hate those fees...big time...but they dont keep me from going to any games or events. If im paying 50+ for a ticket.......whats another 5-8 bucks really.
