Jonathan Harris pulls a Thoreau and moves into a cabin in the woods. World Building in a Crazy World is a digital Walden: in deck form, presented at a Media Conference, yet not lacking in heart or breadth.

I read this on the train this morning and I think I’m going to read it on the way back home as well.
Bowery Ballroom, can we start a movement to ditch Ticketmaster? For $15 tickets they charge over 20% for a “convenience charge” ($3.10 per ticket), then charge between $14.50 and $19.50 to print and send you your tickets.
If you want real tickets, the price jumps from $30 to $55.70. So for a company that handles massive quantities of printing and shipping, mostly electronically, they make roughly 2/3 (after UPS charge) of the what the venue, crew, equipment, band, and label take in combined. Robbery.

Luckily I live a couple blocks down from the Mercury Lounge where Bowery sells their tix and I buy them in person. With the money saved I usually purchase an over priced beer.
Im surprised Bowery Presents doesnt have their own online ticketing system in place especially since they own 5 venues.
PS the real robbery is the $2.50 they charge you to print your own tickets!!
