"In a world that has begun to believe that financial profit is the only religion, sometimes not wanting money is more frightening to capitalist society than acts of terrorism." Arundhati Ray

Way to go Ticketmaster, you bastards! I was looking online to buy tickets for the Gwynne Dyer event at the University on March 8, but look at the prices below:
Gwynne Dyer
MacEwan Hall, Calgary, AB
Thu, Mar 8, 2007 08:00 PM
Tickets (Gwynne Dyer)
Full Price Ticket CA $15.00 x 1
Total Building Facility Charge(s) CA $1.50 x 1
Total Convenience Charge(s) CA $3.75 x 1
Order Processing Charge(s) CA $2.50
Ticketmaster Retail Location Pickup No Charge
TOTAL CHARGES CA $22.75
It would cost $1.75 to $3.50 more to print the e-ticket out yourself or get it sent to your home.
$7.75 (minimum) in service charges on a $15.00 ticket? Blimey! I think I'd rather not go than let those Ticketmaster crooks get my money. Is that the way things are going now? Fuck. I'd rather pay $20 to a scalper.
