Benefit for the Kidney Foundation.

How can you justify a 42% surcharge? For a PDF print yourself download! They had to pay a few cents for me to download this. I find it hard to believe, given the regulations banks face, and the security costs associated with managing people's money, that it costs ticketmaster even half the amount that banks charge to process a transaction. The credit card companies charge 3% for an online transaction, which is $2.01 in this case. Assuming that it costs the same for an outside bank transaction, that's a total of $4.01 for their costs per ticket. On two tickets that's $8. TM charged me $29.90. That's a 373% markup for an electronic transaction!

For what it's worth, I hereby authorize you to use my name in any petition, list, or call to action or send me email related to this Ticketmaster fraud issue so I can keep up to date and participate in any action against these criminals.
