Not only are they monopolizing the ticket scene, but now they may be taking their conning one step further!!!"Convenience fee" this![/citation]

As if that isn't bad enough, they are also involved in scalping. http/www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/02/10/ticketmaster-faces-scalping-lawsuit-in-canada-blames-glitch-for-springsteen-debacle/

Some credit card companies (sorry, I've forgotten which) offer a service where you generate a unique card number for each online transaction. You can mark that number as one-company only, which might prevent this bit of larceny, or even one-time only. Seems like a good idea. I actually do that with Email addresses, thanks to Emailias.com.
