TICKETBASTARD!!!!

FiLtHcAkE · March 26, 2011, 03:26:16 PM

I was going to see them @ the Croc on May 13th but GOD-DAMN, those ticket gougers want an extra $17 for a $25 ticket! And that is taking the cheapest option of having the tickets mailed to me and I only live a half hour's drive away! I wish this forum had first dibs on tix so that all of the money actually supports (the)MELVINS! What a rip in this economy!

I can wait next year...

I bought tickets to both Croc shows.
$40 bucks each. Well worth it.

It's worth it if it goes to the band! plus I 've seen these albums played end to end before but I know you'll have fun

With the fee, one ticket was 31$. I'm only going to the second night. I'm guessing with fees for both nights it would be about 50$. Plus it's not through ticketbastard!

Mr. Burns: (chuckles) And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought TicketMaster. "Nobody's going to pay a 100% service charge."

Smithers: Well, it's a policy that ensures a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant, sir.

I Think the "fees" are to pay for removing that hideous(famous/infamous)pole @ the Croc! http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/09/croc_poll_gone_jim_as_jedd_clampett

Most venues (@ least in NY) don't charge fees if you buy the tickets from the box office.

streetwaves · March 28, 2011, 04:38:19 PM

$48 for a pair, with fees in NYC.

Tickets for shows at the Croc are also available at Sonic Boom Records (Cap Hill or Ballard). Cash only, but no fees. Driving up here just for tickets would be way cheaper in gas than those outrageous fees (which I will never pay, regardless of the band).
