BUYING TICKETS!!! I HATE SERVICE FEES!!!

I wanted to take a quick second to relay a recent Minnesota Twins ticket buying experience that I had with an online ticket broker. I am not a season ticket holder because I just don't have that kind of cash to pay out at one time, so I always pick my favorite games and get them from second hand sellers. I usually surf the net looking for the cheapest seats (who doesn't?!)

I found tickets to the Minnesota Twins opener this upcoming year on a national ticket brokers website. I agreed to pay the listed price for the 2 tickets in section 121 row 26 (right by home plate) and as I was checking out, there was a 15% service fee added to the total charge!!!! I am not a big fan of hidden charges (that's why I hate Ticketmaster) so I did some further shopping and I found the same tickets at Ticket King. Not only were the Twins tickets being sold for less than the other site was selling them for, but there were no added charges at check out. If you are looking for the best prices on Minnesota Twins baseball tickets, check out Ticket King. I know they are a site sponsor of mine so you may think I am biased, but it's true about the no hidden fees and the fact that the other site doesn't disclose it's fees up front is enough to make me never shop with them again.
