I bought tickets to Mary Chapin Carpenter a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised that I got 2 free music downloads from iTunes. The funny thing was that she had to cancel her tour because of injury but I got to keep the free songs!

That seems about right . . . jack the price of tickets up and then slap on about 7 different service charges, processing fees and all kinds of taxes, but by all means . . . give me my free “one song” download.
All is right with the World!

Yeah, I bought some tickets from Ticketmaster recently, they do all the things you mention, you’re right about that. The song downloads suck by the way - they choose them for you, so I wouldn’t recommend you buy tickets from them JUST to get song downloads. Just a word of caution to everyone.

...I don’t think anyone would buy tickets JUST to get a “free” song download…
MCWHAMMER, I don’t know what you were talking about, but when I bought Dave Matthews tickets two weeks ago, I was emailed two free song codes (one for each ticket) of my choice.

I have bought 6 tickets from ticketmaster in the past month or so. I have paid almost $80 in service charges, convenience fees, or whatever BS name they decide to give it. The $6 in “free” song downloads is hardly worth it, but if you’re going to buy the tickets anyway, it’s a nice bonus.
