Reply #4: I'll do it!!!

[VLC]

I recently paid $10.10 in fees for a ticket that cost $10. So, more in fees than the ticket price!

I contacted the Electronic Frontier Foundation about it too, because in order to get a ticket online you HAVE to give them your email address and agree to let them give it to others, which seems unethical to me.

Here's some info they sent me, but I guess they can't help:

You'll find resources about email marketing and privacy on this page of

our site:
<http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Marketing/>

This may not correlate precisely with your issue--but Ripoff Report has

been showing a few new reports about Ticketmaster and Entertainment
Rewards--you may find it to be a useful resource.

Finally, there is a long-running Ticketmaster gripe site where you
might
find some additional resources (or at least some sympathetic stories):
