| Never used them
Never used ticketmaster and never will. The fact they charge you a massive fee to get a ticket is the main reason. If I can't get off my ass and go get a ticket, then there is no reason for me to get the ticket.
Them using your email to spam is just another reason not to use them. If a ticket is $25, I want to pay $25, not $40 with additional charges, handling, etc (and what the HELL is handling? Handling the ticket from the printer to the preprinted mailing envelope?)
Course I'm not a massive concertgoer either, I probably get tickets 2 times a year, usually to baseball games.

| What gets me is a lot of venues' box offices are run by ticketmaster, so even if you go and purchase tickets at the venue, you're subject to TM's crappy business charges of handling fees and convenience fees and venue fees over and above the ticket cost!
So, for an amazing number of venues, you can't opt out of using TM to get your ticks, even if you want to! |
