" I have to believe that if you think that this is not a blatant "Wicked" rip off, that you must either be related in some way to this company or that you are in the same ticket scalping profession. "
I have no doubt that you believe that. As a matter of fact, just about everyone who posts on this site and doesn't hear what the want to hear comes to the same conclusion. No surprise.
So, now that we've cleared up that "I went to the venue where "Wicked" will be performed" means you went to a random site on the Internet, this makes more sense. I'm having a hard time imagining that a legitimate venue would host scalpers on their website.
Taking your post at face value (which was a mistake the first time) you do not mention what this website said the price for the tickets would be. You only mention seeing the face value after you got the tickets. If that is the case and you didn't bother to inquire about the ticket price until after you'd bought them, then you have no recourse. It would be entirely different if you'd actually agreed to one price and they charged a different price, but you didn't mention that.
If you want to know how I feel about scalpers, I generally disapprove of them. They artificially drive up ticket prices for everyone else. What I find most disappointing is that people who also do not like scalpers, give them their business because they do not pay attention to where they're going on the Internet.

As I stated before, when it showed the venue where it was playing, the first thing I saw was Dream team. As I also stated, I assumed this was the broker the venue was using so I looked no further.
I think it's curious that when I received the ticket's in the mail, the ticket's were the ONLY thing's in the envelope. No statement,no receipt,nothing but the ticket's. So I never actually saw the total until I received my charge card statement.
I have bought several ticket's online before to ballet's,concert's etc. The only difference is that I have always bought them through "Ticketmaster". They charge a fee per ticket but it's something like $10 each or there about's, NOT $250.00! Sheesh! Admit it, that's rediculous.
I have to believe that if you think that this is not a blatant "Wicked" rip off, that you must either be related in some way to this company or that you are in the same ticket scalping profession. $250.00 fees, SHEESH!

You say that you bought these tickets in person. What does your credit card receipt say? If you signed for $161 (which I doubt) and you were charged $418.44, this is a no-brainer. Just dispute the charge with your credit card issuer and they will refund the difference.
Realistically, expecting to pay face value for a popular show to a ticket broker is unrealistic. Face value is what the tickets cost if you buy them directly from the venue (if that's even possible). If you're buying from a broker, you will always pay a premium over face value. That's how they make money. The more popular the show, the higher the price. Simple free market economics. You have the option to accept or reject their price. That's what should have happened when they ran your credit card. Therefore, I remain confused as to what the problem is.
If your real complaint is that you bought the tickets and approved the transaction without inquiring about the price, then that's on you.
