  • lol my parents suggested we go see Penn & Teller in Vegas.. "tickets are only $76, that's not bad" (USD remember)

    then you realise this is ticketmaster and also it's America where the prices are never the prices

    $76 x 3 = $228? Nope.. $76 x 3 = $339.85

    If there is a Order Processing Fee (why is there even one?) then what in the HELL is a Service Fee? And wtf is a Facilities Charge and why would that not be included in the ticket price? Then naturally + tax because America is dumb.

    So yeah we're not spending $500 AUD on 3 Penn & Teller tickets.

    Edit: I found another website selling them for $71 each and less of the nonsense fees and it came to $382.53 AUD total for 3 tickets instead of $500. Ticketmaster costs $117 AUD more just for being Ticketmaster. Turns out we're all soured on the idea now anyway so we're still not buying them. I've already seen them last time I went in 2012 anyway.
