Ticketmaster sucks

So I went to the Ticketmaster website tonight to get tickets for Jem’s latest attempt to play Indy on November 1st. (I’m hoping the third time’s a charm and she manages to perform her show instead of cancelling.) Anyway, I started pricing it out, and once Ticketmaster adds in all their fees and service charges, two $12 tickets end up costing $35. Now I’m no math whiz, but it seems to me I would basically be paying the price of a third ticket just to buy the tickets online instead of driving to the venue where there’s no service charges. Well, thanks for the "convenience" Ticketmaster, but you can bite me. Gas prices may be bad and it may be 20 minutes out of my way, but I think I’d still prefer ponying up for the drive to getting raped.
