Kids really wanted to go so I just ordered some tickets for Moster Jam. (Never been before).

I really should have gone to the box office but being lazy I ordered tickets for the Mosnster Jam at the Nassau Coliseum on line, print your own tickets

I really should have paid more attention, $12.50 kids tickets are really $21.70 with all the addition convienence and facility charges.

$25.00 adult tickets are eally $34.50.

Also add $1.75 to print your own tickets, another $3.55 processing fee on top of the other fees and another $7.50 in taxes on the fees(Tickets I belive already include taxes.)

The industry seems to be a monopoly as I don't think anyone else (except scalpers) do this service.

$90.00 of tickets came out to $146.90. Thats more than 50% of the oiriginal cost of tickets.

What a rip!

I agree, but have had 20 years to get used to it.

I gave up on Ticketmaster for just those reasons. I don't mind paying for a service, I do mind getting "serviced" for a service. :D

Don't forget the $7 (?) to park your car at the Coliseum!
