I was just searching to see if there's been any mention of ticketfly before now, and there hasn't. Wonder what messed up the deal with tickets.com?
Excessive surcharges?
Let's hope this is a good move for all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Seth is a smart business man and while he works for 'profits', he also knows that he depends on a whole lot of others, along with one totally fucked up economically depressed country. Now let's hope this plays out in everyone's favor.
Well, I guess it's time for me to eat my words.
For shame on all of this gauging! No one really minds some sort of surcharge but there is no way in the world I will ever believe that these excesses are justified! The 'will call' expecially kills me. I'm sure some computer does its instantaneous tagging and ordering of the accounts while the venues are the ones who end up doing all of the real work.
I, for one, have definitely opted out of many, many shows because of the bottom line removed from my wallet when I have to consider the total cost.
