yeah they did right before tickets.com bought them... [/b]
i just remember always having to use the phone, thus getting screwed on tickets quite often for stuff that was sure to sell out quickly.
 
 i think there was almost 2 years where i didn't come to the club, so i guess tickets.com acquired protix during that time.
 
 and i guess just to add, i'm not bitching about the fees, don't really have much of a choice about paying them unless we can conveniently get to an outlet.. i'm just happy to be able to use the internet to get tickets to the club now, rather than having to use the phone every time.

And you can order them online, get them at Will Call, and pick them up at the club anytime.  Like at the next show you're at....  I'm super sick of this topic too.  Sorry Seth has to keep chiming in after *trying* to go with an alternative.

well now let's just think about that for a moment
 
 with charges as they are WITHOUT me having to pay people to run that operation, what do you suppose they'd be after I had to organize and staff it?

I love this feature.  Does TM let you do that, or is that a venue thing?  I've never tried it anywhere other than 9:30.
