Dear Ticketmaster...

Below is the content of an email I sent to Ticketmaster today in regards to the high-priced tickets (and expected high service fees) for the upcoming Paul McCartney tour. Now, I'm not planning to see this guy, but it's a Clear Channel show and I couldn't resist looking at the prices of the seats. They are: $50 nosebleeds - $250. That is FACE value of the seats. Throw in $10-20/ticket service fees and you are looking at the cost of two cross-country plane tickets.

Thank you TM and Clear Channel. Thank you for allowing me to send you another email.


To Whom It May Concern:

I'm sending a pre-emptive email about tickets for the Paul McCartney show.

I noticed seats for the Chicago show are a meager $50 - 250 per seat face charge. Do you have a contact at Clear Channel I can contact so I can properly tell the appropriate person to kiss my buttocks? I'd also like to thank them for their pricing-out of any normal salary-making individual.

Lastly, I wanted to know who at TM I should forward my arm or leg too in response to the expected $15-20 per ticket "convenience" charges since it's so easy doing business with the only company that can sell tickets in the U.S....especially on the web. Also, would it be easier if I bought the tickets directly at the United Center and simply offered to bend over? Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
A fan sick and tired of high priced tickets and service charges that are making it impossible to attend more than a single show a year
