Simplify the process and more will attend
Chicago Tribune | Fees mount for DIY ticket-buying This continues even though the last concert season had low attendence. Are they just plain stupid, greedy, or both? $10 + $9 processing? Bet they'll get it when things start to dip or someone finds a better way to showcase (like iTunes/MP3 did for CDs).
I say, keep it simple. Think of it like the fan does. $5 for EPs, $10 for CD's, $15 for DVD. $5 for clubs <100, $10 for 100-500 and onwards. Max $2 for s/h - b/c even international postage comes in under 2 bucks for CD mailer. No one said it has to be first class, but if wanted, let them know and request the additional surcharge. And always round off to a bill, like in 5, 10, etc. Not, 27.50, 33.45, etc. Sounds better and easier to manage. And with online, do you really need a $2.50 e-ticket processing charge - afterall, I'm using up my ink toner to print the ticket, so can I get a credit on that?
What comes next in the minds of these greedy agents...a tip jar?
