dear ticketmaster, you're full of shit!

dear ticketmaster,

the last few times i've purchased tickets on your website, i've noticed that you've directed me to a screen that allows me the opportunity to donate to a charitable cause. usually you have 4-5 causes to choose from. that seems awfully considerate of you, but i just can't get it out of my head that you're really just an inconsiderate company that's full of shit.

i could go on and on about your travesties as a company. you damn near have a monopoly on the ticket market. yeah, i've heard of ticketweb and brown paper tickets, but let's be honest, no one's got shit on ticketmaster. you're the coca-cola of the ticket industry, and you got no pepsi's around you to threaten you, just a couple of rc cola's (no diss to rc cola, you make a perfectly tasty cola beverage).

and what is it you're selling? tickets to be entertained, usually to be entertained by millionaires. be it rock stars, actors, or athletes, most tickets are sold to hard working, middle class people who are shelling out their hard earned dough to escape from their lives for a bit and be entertained by millionaires.

and what do you do? you put ridiculous "convenience" fees on your tickets, on top of what is most likely an inflated price already. i'm sure your profit margin was fine before your "convenience" fee.

but let's just pretend this "convenience" fee is necessary. if you're feeling so charitable, ticketmaster, why don't you donate our "convenience" fees to said charities. now that would be real "CONVENIENCE."

or maybe you just like to rob us of a few more hard earned dollars so you can write a check to charity with ticketmaster's name on it instead of mine.

fuck you ticketmaster....

oh and i need two tix for the bon jovi concert... thanx!!
