Who is buying tickets to these events? Checking on Stub Hub tickets for the championship games decent seats are $2000 (Philly) which includes a $450 service charge. Seats way up in the end zone $1375 incl $$225 Service charge
Then the real fun begins Super bowl lower level apx 10 yd line $10,000 which includes $ $2639 service charge. Who is buying these tickets?
I know some people have access to cheaper tickets but that's more the exception than the rule, Stub Hub along with the other outlets have plenty of these tickets for sale. As a matter of fact they have plenty of seats priced even higher than what I'm quoting here.
Not that I find the ticket prices fair in anyway but what's with the service fees? When they get to be $1000 - $2000 and more I have to ask what is the service? If they are selling tickets to an event that cost $100 a service fee of around $25 is charged ... Just because they are gouging us for tickets how do they justify those much higher service fees? The service provided is the same no matter what the ticket price so again how do they justify that?
Obviously there are plenty of people who are all right with these charges ... I could afford that amount (if I was a little insane) but this high I have to say not me.
Are there people here who think this is a fair system?
