Post Most ticket buyers ‘feel ripped off’

Haven't been to a gig in years, and little desire for it either. I wouldn't spend above £40 total myself, especially in sh1tty Belfast.

See Tickets, another firm, say event organisers don’t pay them to sell tickets and therefore, “in order to make money See has to charge a little bit on top”.

Additional fees included £6.87 on top of a £55 Kings Of Leon ticket; £9.25 on top of a £75 Elton John ticket and £9.50 on top of a £35 ticket for comedian Jimmy Carr.

A little 27% fee on top of the Jimmy Car tickets! :lol:

I just go to the box office where possible, seat choices are usually better (Ed Byrne we were centre and 2nd row in, for Dave Gorman next year we're right at the front and sitting with friends
