I've just sent an email to the seller giving them a piece of my mind. I think it sucks, and I've half a mind to cancel my membership, on account of misleading advertising. Claiming that Premium members get exclusive access to tickets, yet they're selling them on ebay cheaper?? (I paid $65 for my membership!!) And can anyone explain what this is all about when you go to purchase the tickets at sting.com (well, Ultrastar): Processing Fee ($ 2.50 - per ticket) 2 $ 5.00 Handling Fee ($ 8.70 - per order) 1 $ 8.70 Convenience Fee ($ 6.00 - per ticket) 2 $ 12.00 Facility Fee ($ 7.00 - per ticket) 2 $ 14.00 What the hell is a 'convenience fee'... Convenient? For who? They expect you to pick your tickets up at the door, so they don't even have to post them to you, and they CHARGE you for THEIR convenience???? And just what facilities are we being charged for? Is this $7 for each person to use the toilet??? I remember when people just started charging a 'Handling Fee', but now it seems we're expected to pay for the cleaners in the ticket sales office too..... J.

In addition, you also get a premium membership in the fan club ($65 value if you didn't have the promo number to get $30 off). So, for $160, I could get what I've already paid $150 (tickets) + $35 (the membership) for!! Hey, looks like the fan club took care of us longtime members again. God, I love the fan club.
