Cunts thread?

Kevin_Stapleton

Thinking about it, it must be a legal requirement to provide a breakdown like that?

Imagine if that approach happened elsewhere - so your new iPhone costs £500. Ace! Oh, but wait, there’s our marketing supplement of £300, plus our gullibility fee of £200, (or £250 if you buy the limited edition in brown) so actually what you thought was £500 is actually £1000. People calling Apple cunts because they charge a £200 gullibility fee “I’m happy to pay a £100 gullibility fee but £200 is taking us for mugs”.

The alternative is that every single venue has to create there own merchant websites and pay people to run the fuckers. I expect the booking overhead for that would be more than the tout sites are charging.

This Fees bollocks or Booking fee as it used to be - No one has ever given a satisfactory explanation of what that really is. Fee for what? Booking a ticket? How the fuck are you supposed to get a ticket then? It still seems like some cunt is making a fast one for nowt. That's a new one on me though - venue levy. WTF is that all about?

Djpekingman I expect the money is spent on the data processing charges. Websites and electronic payment systems aren't cheap and I guess the ticketmasters of this world also have to create, distribute and maintain the point of entry systems that handle the tickets at the venues. Servers, software and staff to run them aren't free. I can see why there are charges although I have no idea what the overheads are.

Is the convenience of the ticket on your phone that you can just wave at a doorman worth a few quid?

space The fees seem very high when charged against each ticket sold. It used to boil my piss when you make a single booking for 4 tickets and the bastards charge the booking fee 4 times. And as for KS's 2 quid charge for generating and sending an email, surely that would be part of the ticketmeister package and is therefore being charged twice? O2 are cunts anyway (the London International Ska festival has sacked them off after an unrelated attitude and groping incident) and those LCD charges are nothing but obscene, given their booking systems are all automated and especially when allied to the silly prices they charge for ale and that rank pish they call cider in their venues.

The hairy biker who can't cook. I don't trust that cunt one bit. No sir. He looks like the sort of cunt who'd kick your dog when you went for a piss in yer own house when he came round for a cup of tea on a Sunday morning. Then look perplexed when the dog was being weird when you came back after having a piss. Well not in my house hairy biker who can't cook. Because I don't know you so that scenario won't come to fruition. Thank fuck. The cunt.

In the light of new information, AMG. O2 are still cunts though for cosying up to them.

CBIT To be fair anything that sabotaged the rise of grunge and especially Pearl Jam has to be applauded.
