I am not doing it. My Wife and I like to laugh, so when I saw that a favorite comedian was coming to Houston, I went online to buy tickets. The mid-level seat was $135/person. A little higher than I wanted to pay but okay. It was not until I went to check out that I said to myself, “Absolutely not!” The total cost upon checkout was $412.50. Excuse me? Tickets: $135 x 2 = $270 “Convenience fee:” $54 x 2 = $108 “Service fee on the convenience fee:” $3.50 x 2 = $7 “Parking fee:” $25 “Service fee on the parking fee:” $2.50 Total: $412.50 What in the world is a “convenience fee?” Convenient for who? And, to put a service fee on my convenience fee as well as my parking fee? These fees are part of a “change” in online ticket sales. The only person who welcomes change is a baby with a wet diaper. The very best business strategy I know is to give your customer “a little bit more than they expect.” I am getting a lot more than what I expected, but not in a good way. When your customers hear your prices, how do they react? What message do you think these “fees” are sending to the consumer? I am voting with a “hell no!” How easy is it to do business with your company?
