No, again, you're the one with a reading comprehension issue. I said compared to the cost of driving a considerable distance, he ticketing fee is around 15% and pennies on the dollar, NOT in comparison to the cost of a ticket. You live in WV, lets say for arguments sake 3 hours away. Assuming you make even a mere $15 an hour, at your hourly rate, it'd cost you almost $90 round trip plus probably around $30 in gas to get to the box office and buy tickets in advance. That's around $120 to get tickets in advance. INSTEAD, you pay around $15 for the fees on two tickets. Seems pretty reasonable considering your alternative.
I like how you just assume that ANYONE in their right mind is going to TAKE OF FUCKING WORK to do things. I don't know what ass-backwards way of life you come from, maybe the Amish or you were raised in slave labor, but the average person DOES have time off work, and CAN do things they need to do in that time without taking a pay hit to do it.
But these simantics aren't the point. The point is, no matter what "convenience" it is, it doesn't COST the venue that much to take your money and save your ticket at the box office as opposed to taking your money AT the box office. The only extra legwork is taking your name and checking your ID. That takes seconds, and this is obvious by how quickly people get through a line at WillCall.
This is laughable. "Concerts never sold out pre-internet. There were always tickets available day-of for every concert in the 1980s. And it could be that way again... if only we organize a protest of ticketing agents on a venue's website!!"
Fantastic job putting words in my mouth, but in the future, when blatantly making a person out to have said something they didn't, you probably shouldn't quote them, kiddo. It's clear that you don't have a logical response, so you resort to childish bullshit. Please, if you have nothing useful to add, step away from the computer. Fresh air might be good for your clearly deprived brain.
Except it is reasonable. Comparing a CONVENIENCE fee to the cost of the ticket is extremely non sequitor. You should be comparing it to the level of convenience it affords you, which for someone living in WV, several hours from the box office, is considerable, and far in excess of the dollar amount you're charged as I've pointed out numerous times.
You keep hammering in this same point, and it keeps getting re-stated, because it's INCORRECT. You have no other leg to stand on than persistence. I suppose, if an idiot says "cat" long enough when it's obviously a mouse, the other person will eventually say "sure, sure, it's a cat, now get the fuck out of my face." Excellent strategy for the weak-minded.
You're right. No one could ever want their tickets in-hand in advance for any reason. You don't want the feature, so no one should have it. Gotcha.
Want it? Maybe. Why, I don't really see the point, but want, sure. Whether they'd be willing to pay an added 34% of their ticket price to get it, given the option, I highly doubt. But people want lots of things, and when you've already paid for them, sure, why the hell not? Fuck, a 34% "service charge" should come with the kind of "service" a "service girl" provides. I'm assuming these don't.
I can't even go into detail about how wrong this is. The box office (which Seth sells tickets at for a $1 fee in advance) is staffed and operated at a loss. Tickets.com is a completely separate entity. Their existance does cost them money. They have an infrastructure to provide people a service, and it does cost them money. Selling tickets costs tickets.com more money then not selling tickets. They have to not only recoup that, but make a profit. Just because you picked the ticket up at will call doesn't mean the infrastructure behind the ticketing cost nothing. The fact that you think otherwise tells me you're an idiot.
It costs the VENUE nothing extra that selling tickets at the DOOR doesn't. THAT is my point. The fact that you choose to completely overlook that and change the intentions of my words proves that you have no logical argument and simply wish to be a mindless dickhead while at the same time "win" something.
Now, I'm going to bed, but please continue talking out of your ass, we like laughing at imbeciles.
I'm assume that "we" is just you, because you're the only person here who sees your view, acting like an illogical, argumentative child.
