ticketmaster and stubhub SUCK

I am very excited that I'm going to Coachella again this year! I need to buy tickets and I'm trying to buy them before instead of getting scalped there.

I know that I already hate ticketmaster and their arm and a leg "convenience fees." So I figured I'd go to stubhub instead. ticketmaster tickets cost $269 + bs service fees that make the ticket end up costing $303.20 for a print out ticket. which is crap.

what i have found out today is that stubhub is no better. cheapest ticket $271 so I'm thinking cool, I'll save over 30 bucks. not. even they tack on the service fees!!!!! And I already know they are taking a chunk out of the seller's profit as well. total: $308.

Stubhub, you suck. What is your business? You are worse than ticketmaster. taking advantage of the seller and buyer. I will never do business with you again. seriously I hate this. why are there so many businesses based around a middle man gouging you with service fees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will look elsewhere thank you very much.

i'm pretty sure ticketmaster owns stub hub?

in any case, craigslist is your best bet. although i think i'm going to scalp both days.

I'm pretty sure eBay owns stub hub.

and craigslist is really full of people trying to make a profit on their unused coachella tix which is kind of annoying.

I ended up grabbing a 3-day pass for $230 on eBay and am trying to decide on going to sunday or selling the sunday ticket.
