Bend Ticket Mill Fees?
Does anyone know if the Bend ticket mill charges the same fees for concert tickets as TM does? Their website wasn’t super specific when I checked.
Forgot to pick up tickets to Incubus and I am getting tired of paying the insane fees TM slaps on.
Thanks.

Buy from the Mill directly! Zero fees if you do (I've bought there multiple times, most recently Dylan tix in June). When you buy from the Mill you're buying the tickets they didn't sell to TicketBastard, so you don't pay a fee.
I'm not exactly sure how their contract with TM works, but maybe if more people buy directly, they can dial back how much they depend on it. For how quick and easy it is to pop down to the Mill and buy tickets, it's silly not to if you're local. Fees are fucking stupid.
Just what I needed to know. Will be driving down and buying directly moving forward. Thanks!
There are fees (or maybe they call them something else), but they are like $5 each ticket as opposed to $15.
Yeah, which is so bass-ackwards…they have a person working there who puts in your info and then the tickets are emailed to you, just like if you had done TM yourself. How is it cheaper to add a middleman employee into the equation?
Right? It's especially infuriating when they add a "convenience" fee. It's just as convenient for them as it is for us!
An ambivalent teenage cashier is a lot cheaper than an IT person maintaining the functionality of the web app!
Just got back. $7 fee per ticket but definitely beats the $18 per ticket fee TM charges.
Absolutely!! Enjoy the show!

Huh, I wonder. The Dylan tix I bought were the exact advertised price...maybe the fee was built in to that one. Either way, glad you saved a bit of $!
