Is it the same price to buy concert ticket online or at a retain location?

I am going to buy tickets to see Disney on Ice and online at Ticketmaster they charge all kinds of extras. If I was to go to a retail location nearby do they charge the same or do those extra fees not apply?

Its $52 for the tickets but with all the extras they charge its $75 not sure if its even worth it.


Go to BookMe.com and you can compare the prices of your concert tix on all the major ticket websites. Waiting until you get to the venue to purchase the tix is a risky tactic that I would not recommend. Give BookMe.com a shot and you'll find a good deal.

It depends on where you go to purchase the tickets.

Ticketmaster adds on a "convenience charge" (I've seen some as low as $7 and some as high as $13.95!) to EACH ticket purchased through their online site. They also charge extra depending on whether they will mail tickets to you or you print them out yourself or if you need them quickly.

If you go to a Ticketmaster retail location, you will still pay their convenience charge.

The best place to buy your tickets is to go straight to the Box Office at the location where the event is taking place (arena, concert hall, etc). (Search online to find their website then see what hours the box office is open) You won't have to pay the convenience charge on the tickets. Note: if the location has a "facility charge" (usually tacked on to help fund improvements to the facility) you will have to pay this charge regardless of where you buy the tickets.

You can often get deals on ebay for concert tickets and avoid the dreaded "convenience charges." You can check out concert tickets on ebay here:

Here are specifically tickets for Disney on Ice:

Sometimes people sell at face value because their plans have changed, and you can get tickets that way.

If you don't already have an ebay account, you might want to seriously consider getting an account. You can get almost anything you can want on ebay and usually at better than retail prices! Just make sure you buy from a seller with a 99% or better rating and over 100 sales. I have never had any problem as long as I have followed those guidelines.

Good luck!
