Ticketmaster blows.

I hate Ticketmaster. I hate their timed checkout pages. I hate their bullpoop fees they tack on. I hate everything about them.
...So why isn't there a good alternative to Ticketmaster?
I'm trying to buy some tickets that started out as $19, but with fees they skyrocketed to $32.
Sorry Ticketmaster, but I'm not paying $13 in bullpoop fees.
Discuss.

There is a good alternative to ticketmaster

It's called "SNEAK INTO THE THEATERS AND RUN IF THEY FIND YOU"

That's now how it works, TK. It's "stride into theaters and KO anyone that notices your presence."

You have to wavedash around the candy sellers too and don't forget to buy tons of drinks.

Silly kids.

Anyways, I hate the never ending reloading. Trying to get into popular concerts is just maddening.

You're part of that too.

REMEMBER THAT TIME WE SHFFL'D INTO THE MOVIE THEATER AND AFTERWARDS YOU USED YOUR SHINEDASH TO PULL THROUGH WHEN THE GUARD ALMOST GRABBED ME AFTER DOING MY FTILT? THEN WE WAVEDASHED TO THE COUNTER TO GO GET CHIPS?

YEAH THOSE WERE THE DAYS MAN. THE DAYS YOU FORGOT. HOW COULD YOU.

Then you clearly need to learn how to wavedash and dishwash them.

No, there is no choice for you as a consumer. Ticketing for a venue is contracted through a system like Ticketmaster, and that is the only real way to purchase them. However, I would check the venue itself, because it's often cheaper to buy in person at the venue itself than online or over the phone.
