No shit. Pardon my French. I just think it is so obnoxious. Give me a break. Convenience charge, my ass! Any time I have ever bought tickets through Ticketmaster (aka Ticketbastard, aka Ticketmonster) on the Internet (or over the phone too I think) I have been charged that convenience charge, and the service and results have been anything but convenient. I did manage to get fairly decent seats this time around, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a pain in the ass to get them. That makes me so salty. The tickets by themselves are ridiculously priced. *sigh* My friend who I work with is 36 years old. He said that when he was my age, and he went to concerts, they were about 8-10 dollars. Which is basically unheard of nowadays, especially if you are forced to work through Ticketmaster.
