I just bought two tickets to the White Stripes show. Each was $25. Each had an $8.75 service charge.

Now, I'm almost certain that you used to be able to pick the slowest delivery option for free. Apparently that now costs $20. TWENTY FREAKING DOLLARS? You also have "convenience" option. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can print out your own tickets for FOUR DOLLARS. Yeah, because it costs Ticketmaster thousands of dollars a show to email ticket buyers.

I went with will call, which means extra hassle at the venue and a long line of people who also didn't want to get ripped off. DAMNIT.

OTOH, the show should be amazing...
