They've developed the ultimate fuck the customer tool. They also track you by login and will adjust price according to your zip code and past online purchases with their algorithm.

       Dynamic Pricing: Ticketmaster utilizes demand-based pricing models that adjust ticket prices in real time as inventory shrinks and buyer interest rises,

        capturing revenue that would otherwise go to secondary resellers.

  • Deceptive "Bait-and-Switch" Pricing: Ticketmaster and Live Nation were accused of advertising artificially low base ticket prices while hiding mandatory service, processing, and facility fees until the final checkout screen. 

     
  • Collusion with Ticket Brokers: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general alleged that Ticketmaster publicly claimed to enforce strict ticket-purchase limits per fan while privately working with high-volume scalpers and brokers. 

     
  • Secondary Market Profiteering:

    Brokers used multiple fake accounts to hoard millions of primary tickets and relisted them at massive markups on Ticketmaster’s own secondary resale platform, where Ticketmaster collected fees on both ends.
 
 

I would still go to A1 either way. I'd have to say that I've been to at least 30 of them, if not more, and have always bought our tickets at the stadium box office during the week.

 Other than that, it's Peacock and Round Table Pizza for me. 

All that stuff that you listed is one of the reasons I got off the wagon of thinking I would die if I didn't go.  They jumped the shark with me in reference to pricing after sitting in my car for 2-3 hours trying to get out of the parking lot @ Pala.

I can definitely understand wanting to experience the races in person.  I'm sure I haven't been to my last race in person, I'm just a little more discerning with my cash these days.  

I completely understand, not driving right now, and for the last 4 months means I don't have a job and its hard not having a job, but I am doing the best I can with my money even if that means not spending more for myself than subscriptions I have. The tickets for A2 are an early Christmas gift from my dad.

Why is the service fee $20?

Only because they think $21 might kill the deal and you stay home and peacock. 

Id rather watch and experience a race in person because I can see everything on track pretty much, and there's nothing like a race in person.

The best part about seeing SX in person is that only you determine what you watch and pay attention to, whereas watching television, your attention is...

Yes, but how well can you see other areas that are not close to your seat? Not that well..

Depending on how high up your seated, you can see a lot, usually i stick to the higher the better rule. In the 400’s this year I was able to see pretty much the whole track, and I was able to see the riders fine.

Thank you, and we for sure will. Gonna be sad not seeing Eli there. I'm excited to see and feel the differences between a1 and a2 with the guys starting to get a sense of where they are in the series, and stuff like that.

Right. A decent seat will let you see the entire track, so if you want to follow Johnny 3-digit all night, you can.

Our OU vs Texas tickets were $800 each and that was a year in advance.
