The advertised cheapest tickets for the ZZ Top concert in Everett are $45 not the $37 indicated, and that’s if you print your tickets at home.

Thirty-seven dollars is a number selected by sales and marketing low-lifes to make you think you can afford it … then they add processing and “convenience” fees to bring the cost to the number they had in their heads to start with.

I guess this is bait and switch … ”a form of fraud in which the party putting forth the fraud lures in customers by advertising a product or service at a low price, then reveals to potential customers that the advertised good is not available but that a substitute is.” I realize this is standard procedure these days but it does not make it right, in fact it stinks.

Legal or not, I am getting tired of this deceit.
