I hate ticket distributors. I am ready to purchase some tickets to a concert. $32 tickets. OK, now I am thinking (it has been a while since I got concert tickets) that I will be charged 10% for 'the help' that I am receiving to get the ticket. I order two tickets for $64. So, I am thinking my order will be around $70, maybe a dollar or two more. Not only do they charge you $6.50 for each ticket bought, they then charge yet another 'ticket charge' of $3.

So, my $32 tickets are actually nearly 30% higher than that. It clocked in at $40. Nice.

Hey, you wanna see Neil Diamond in concert, you gotta make sacrifices.

Such sacrifices you have to make to see Kenny G.

2 simple solutions to your problem:

Buy tickets from the venue, not a broker.

Don't go to the concert.

UteStar is way too hardcore for the G. I betcha they were Yanni tix.

It was actually Michael Bolton with Barry Manilow singing before him. It sounds fabulous but I am trying to decide what to do.
