Fuck I hate Ticketmaster: $46 for a $29.50 ticket.
The band, the roadies, the venue, the promoter get to split $30 for me to go to a show. Fair enough. The company that distributes the tickets gets almost as much, and I STILL HAVE TO PRINT THE DAMNED THING OUT MYSELF?!?!?!?! What the fuck did they do to earn $26.50 of my money, other than have a slow-assed shitty website and a monopoly?

:nuke:

3. I'm treating myself.
I've busted my ass at school and on political stuff for the past few months, I need to go let go of that for a few hours.

It's cheaper than therapy, no?

4. Depends on which therapist you go to.
But the odds are better of getting laid at a concert than at your therapists office.

6. I hear ya! I hate Ticketmaster.
If I have an alternate way to buy tickets, I do it. Ticketmaster is a total ripoff joint. (But I DO hope you enjoy the concert!)
