    How can ticket sellers like Ticketmaster and Stubhub possibly justify their fees?

    You want to go to a game with a $25 dollar ticket so you click to buy your ticket then the price....$41 WTF??!?!!!?!?!

    Well that's $25 ticket PLUS $7 "convenience charge" PLUS $6.50 "order processing fee" PLUS $2.50 for emailing you the ticket

    Holy fuckin hell how can this scam be legal, you buy a $25 ticket and get charged $16 bucks for emailing it to you

    ticketmaster just lost a HUGE lawsuit requiring them to pay pack some of these "fees".. It's not much, but you'll get credits from them in the next few months

    The joke is that eBay owns Stubhub, that's right they already had a site that could auction off/sell tickets but opened Stubhub just so they could charge those insanely exorbitant fees like Ticketmaster. If you buy a 5 dollar ticket to some unpopular NBA game on Stubhub you end up paying 15 bucks additional in fees to have them email it to you, how the **** can emailing a 5 dollar ticket cost 15 bucks?

    I dont even buy cheap tickets on Stubhub I just buy from scalpers at the game, they charge 10-15 bucks for a ticket thats only 5 bucks on Stubhub but bc of the fees its cheaper to buy from the scalpers

    I've never tried craigslist I may have to in the future, tired of paying 15 bucks in "convenience fees" to get a fukin 5 buck ticket emailed to me, what a fukin joke

    They don't have to justify their fees. When you have a virtual monopoly, you can set your own prices.
