Was going to get a couple of Elton John tickets at Comerica Park. The advertised price was $55 each. I expect fees to be added. The fees were $48. I can afford that, no problem, but sorry, I refuse to pay that kind of fee. I just can't do it. Wouldn't even be a physical ticket. $43 Convenience Fee. What the fuck does that even mean? Convenient for whom? It's just wrong. Those kind of fees should be included in the advertised price. It should be a law.
By the way, I do get free tickets to a lot of shows becsuse of radio, so maybe this has been going on for a long time. When I bought Wilco tickets for Chicago last year it was $16 in fees. Not happy with that, but I can deal with that. But $48? Not a chance.
