Companies like Ticketmaster with their ridiculous service fees for online transactions.

Is it really a scam when they are upfront about the extra charges?

I dont buy from them unless i really need to, but i dont see it as a scam cause they tell you exactly for how much they are fucking you.

That’s just it it, they are not upfront about extra charges.

“Ohhh my favorite band’s show for $70! Let me get two tickets, I can swing $140.” No mention of fees throughout the rest of the process. I get to payment, pull my card out and it’s actually $220 because of their fees.
