Ticketmagic - a misleading, unethical ripoff company I wanted to buy a ticket to a concert, so I searched the internet. The first result had the name of the band as the URL, so I thought that was the official site. The ticket page came up with the band's name in a headline. It looked like the tickets were reserved, since they specified a row number, and higher prices for different rows. I bought a ticket, and the confirmation e-mail came from Ticketmagic.com. Who are they? I searched for them on the internet and came up with terrible reviews on this site and others as being a ripoff third party outfit. I found the actual official ticket site, and it was an all general admission show, not sold out, and with substantially cheaper ticket and service charge prices. I also saw another third party site, Stubhub, which is ethical and puts their company name in their URL.

I understand that these third party ticket sites are a valuable resource for sold out shows, but the only way they can sell tickets to general admission shows which are not sold out is to mislead people into thinking they are the official ticket site and that the seats are reserved. And now from reading other reviews, I find out that they sometimes sell fake tickets. They say you will get a refund, but you have wasted your time going to the venue, missed the show you wanted to see, and have to go to the trouble of getting a letter from the venue that you were turned away. And even then it seems they are not immediately forthcoming with the refund.

All in all, it's a pretty sleazy way to make money. Congratulations Ticketmagic, you did your job and ripped me off good. Edit
