$2.15 fee per ticket for print at home tickets?

[Subi WRX]

Really?

To print Universal Tickets at home with my own printer?

I find it absurd.

So I always use the kiosk pick up option. Easy peasy, super fast, and then I have a real ticket to carry around and not a piece of paper.

It's a muggle tax...

I find it absurd too!

I am bummed that with the New Year's Ticket for the City Walk NYE party, there is only print at home tickets, and no kiosk option. Hmmmm, I wonder if I call the AP # if they'll ship them to me for free?

So they really are charging you to print out something from your own computer? Your paper, your ink, your electric...you are purchasing a park ticket to enter their park and you must pay them to use your own items.. something is seriously getting wrong with companies today....

I know! The best part is (at least on the CW NEY tkts) they say "Shipping: FREE!" You have to click on "Full Details" to see and I quote:

"Delivery Options: Print@Home/Price: $2.15 per ticket processing fee."

There is no other delivery option available.

It's not even a one-time free. It's PER ticket!

Ticketmaster calls it a convenience charge. They seem to think that if they save you time by not making you stand in line to pick up your tickets, they should be able to charge for it.

It seems like there are more and more fees springing up all the time. Companies charge these fees because they can...no other reason. I think it's wrong to charge a customer a fee for making a payment on the phone but banks, credit card companies and utilities do it now.

Just another way to raise prices but make it seem like they aren't raising prices. Same with "resort fees" at hotels these days.

Ticketmaster is notorious for this. They add on alot of fees. I've bought tickets before and had close to $10 fees per ticket for shows...

Not to be a random fee defender here, but I could potentially see a reason for charging the fee on this tickets.

specifically, With the print-at-home tickets, you cannot simply use the existing ticket scanners at the turnstiles that you use with every other ticket media. This means there is a small additional cost in supporting these tickets in the equiptment and time to scan them as you enter the park.

i could see a possible valid reason for passing these unique costs along to the one type of media that incurs them. (Now.... is that extra cost really $2.15 per ticket..... dunno).

At least on the City Walk NYE party, it specifically says per ticket. And there is no other delivery option. It's print at home or nothing.
