Comment on Why I Hate Buying Ticketsparent

>Well the fees are actually not really "kickbacks" but really just normal fees

They aren't normal though. Air fares exempted, I can't think of many goods and service that have so many extra fees tacked on to the advertised price.

It's also not "normal" to charge a customer more when they are in fact costing you less (ie. print at home tickets). This may be legal and permitted but it sure as heck isn't "normal" or ethical business practice.

>Your only real right as a consumer is to buy or not buy.

I think most here would agreed it should be your right as a consumer to know the real price upfront. Not much to ask.

What other service do you buy tickets for?

Travel and events are the major ones. Why do you ask?
